I want to rotate a layer, in this case the background. The Help says "Choose Edit > Transform > Rotate. A box defining the boundaries of the layer (called a bounding box) appears." No. There is no such command. There is a command Free Transform Path and a menu Transform Path, the latter with a command Rotate, but this refers to paths, not to layers.
I have two maps of same area (different years) and I want to match them up as one map. I can load them both as layers and make the older map transparent so that I can see through to newer map, but older map is larger than the newer map (in the background). I can move the transparent map but I cannot make just the transparent map smaller to fit over the other map. I will also need to rotate the map slightly. When I try to resize it changes both maps. I have tried the transform and the move tool. So how can I make one layer smaller and rotate it it leaving the other layer intact?
Every time I rotate a layer, that layer is copied and then rotated. How do I just rotate a layer without making copies? i'm using CS5 with the latest updates.
Open a new document in AI (CS5/CS6), and then draw some arts (rectangles), given an original point (such as 0,0), now I want to all arts in current layer rotate 30 degree around the origin. How to realize it?
It appears that the Layer Filters functionality is broken again with 2013. Unchecking the "Apply layer filter to layer toolbar" disables the function of layer filters in the tool palette.
I have found that when I use the Layer Styles on one layer and then make a new layer or select a shape that creates a new layer that when I go to add Styles to the new layer/new shape the previous layer is affected by how I set the Bevel & Emboss, Direction, Altitude, Drop Shadow etc etc.  For instance, let's say I have a ...  BG > New Layer > draw an ellipse and then add a Bevel with an > Angle of 89 and an Altitude of 30 and then I add a New Layer > open the Styles and go to change the Angle to say +89 or whatever and the Altitude to say 45 ... the first Layer/Shape Effects change.  How I can keep one Layer from being affected by an other Layers Effects'?  I have found that if I Rasterize a Layer Effect that I can add a "double" effect on the same layer but I haven't tried the to do this with separate layers. However, for most of the work I am doing I cannot use the Raster because everything needs to be true vectors.  I have a Dell Laptop/Windows 7 Home Premium that's a 64 bit
CS4 is not allowing me to rotate the canvas! I keep getting this message: "Could not complete your request because it only works with OpenGL enabled document windows."
I already updated the driver and checked the preferences, but it didn't help.
I have the Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family on a Compaq Presario C770US Notebook if that helps...I also use Vista.
This has happened to me a number of times. Photoshop CC prevents me from rotating the object, I can still move the camera around but not rotate. I cant even select the 3D object. Ive check and caps lock is not on.
Im using Photoshop CC on and Imac running Mountian Lion.
I never had problems using the cropping tool to rotate an image to straighten it and then crop. Now in windows all my cropping tool wants to do instead of rotate is SKEW! What is up?
i've a problm with my cs5, i can't rotate the paper. i've already tried to ability OPENGL, but i can't do this cause I can't select it. it depends on my graphic card? I've a RADEON HD 6770M. I've tried to download the latest driver of the card, but nothing, it doesn't work.
I'm using PSCS and I can't get the entire canvas to rotate 90 degrees or flip vertically or horizontally (see attached screen shot). In fact Edit>Transform is dimmed unless I Select All, but then I lose part of the image unless I stop, make a bigger canvas, select all, rotate and deselect. Another workaround is, I can make the background layer into an O layer and then I can flip and rotate, but again,only the image moves, not the canvas. I used to be able to do it but not since I re-installed PSCS.
I have an hp laptop, less than a year old -- I'm surprised this is a problem! The model is dv4-1125nr -- I have an intell chipset 4500 something or other as a graphics card. is there REALLY no way for me to be able to rotate an image? Interestingly, the 3D WORKS, but rotating an image doesn't ... ?
It's hard making very tiny adjustments to the rotation of a pic using a mouse and if I have to zoom in, I can not see the whole pic in order to rotate it to. Is there a way, so that once it is in free transform or when you grab the corners to rotate it, that it goes in smaller increments or how do you nudge rotate it.
I was workin on my new Avatar, and was on a layer in which I wanted to rotate the image by 180 degrees. For the life of me I searched through PS:CS's menu and couldn't find a rotate command!
There was ROTATE CANVAS, but that rotated the entire image. I had to end up increasing the window of the document and pressing CTRL + T for a free transform. Is there a:
I dont know if this can be done in ps or not but im trying to rotate an image not like a circle or a clock but im trying to rotate the same way the earth spins in a horizontal axis.
way to rotate the direction of the different brushes? I have some downloaded brushes that I would like to be able to rotate to covere different sides of my image.
I'm using the warp>flag filter and I want to be able to rotate the image once the warp is applied and it is distorting it because of the filter and it won't keep it's form.
quick way to rotate an image 10% from a corner. Holding shift rotates it 15% and it just seems a bit long winded to have to constantly type in the amount I want to rotate. Also free transform just doesn’t feel accurate enough.
