Photoshop :: Rotating Square Brushes
Apr 26, 2009
When using the brush tool as a square, I frequently need to rotate it so that it can be much more effective in architectural shots, under peaked roofs, gables etc. It would also be great if the shape could be altered from a square to some other parallelogram to again, fit nicely inside similar shapes. Is there a way to at least, rotate the brush in CS3 and 4? While I am at it, how in blazes does one copy, cut and delete items in this forum? I highlight, right click and get insert asnd align selections. Also, I pick a type face and get Arial when I type.

1) What exactly are channels and what do they do?
2) How do I rotate a brush before applying it to the canvas?
3) How do I make a person/object 'pop out' of a frame?

I'm trying to draw some dashed lines in Photoshop, and to this end I've been playing around with the brush settings (Spacing etc). I'm using a square brush, and I managed to draw the dashed line as I want it, with one exception: I can't get the brush to be feathered.
Is it a general thing in Photoshop that you can't change (i.e. soften) the hardness of a square brush, as you can with that of a round brush? I doubt that Photoshop would impose such a limitation - there must be something I'm getting wrong.
I'd really appreciate some help on this. Once again, I'd like to have a soft (i.e. feathered) *square* brush, which I can use for various purposes, including the drawing of dashed lines.

When I use the square selection tool, the selection edges are rounded rather than square. I can't remember how to rset this.
How do you make the edges square by default?

I am interested in grouping and sorting brushes according to size, shape, whatever.
Right now when I add a brush library, they just stack on top of one another.
For example let's say I have a round brush with a 10 diameter, then next to it a round brush with a 20 diameter. If I make a 15, it goes to the bottom of the list, and I have to scroll all around. How can I group them?
I suspect I would have to make my own brush library with my brushes how I want them, then save that and load it?

I'm using CS3 with a new computer and a 17in crt monitor. I set the monitor resolution via windows to 1280x1024. Made a 4 in square in Photoshop. It's square. When I change the resolution to anything less than 1280x1024 the square is taller than wide. It still shows 4x4 inches with the rulers.

How do you rearrange the brushes in the brushes box?
I've seen they are arranged by name, so how do you rename the brushes since renaming the file name don't rename the brush.

I'm using Photoshop Elements 2.0 I also have Photoshop 6.0
I'm trying to learn how to rotate a .jpeg photo without it losing proportion. I have a photo of a Santa that I carved and took the photo with the camera turned 90°. I'd like to rotate the photo so I can use it as an Avatar on a forum I'm in. However, when I rotate the photo 90° the image becomes narrower and longer. I'd like to retain the original proportion but don't know how to do this.

Photoshop (I use CS1) is taking photos that have been saved vertically and opening them horizontally. If I rotate the photo back to vertical and save it again and then try to re-open it, it's horizontal again. Opening these same files with other image viewers and browsers shows that they are clearly vertical, yet PS continues to open them horizontally. I've been using Photoshop for years and never had this problem until the past couple of days, so I'm totally baffled. It's not like I just installed it. It's been working fine and never had this problem before yesterday. It also isn't doing it on older photos that I've saved, it's only new photos that I've saved in the past couple of days, so obviously it's doing something when I'm saving them that's causing it to rotate them automatically when re-opened.
When I try to open these exact same photos on my other comuter that has an older version of PS (7.0) this problem doesn't occur -- the photos are vertical, just as they should be.

I'm trying to flip and rotate a selection in Photoshop but it doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I'm doing:
1) Select what I want to flip/rotate.
2) Go to Select -> Transform Selection
3) Go to Edit -> Transform Path -> Flip Horizontal/Vertical or one of the rotate options.
4) Choose another tool so that it can ask me if I want to apply the transformation.
5) Say yes.
But at this point nothing happens to my selection. When rotating, I notice that the selection box itself gets transformed, but not the contents selected. How do I actually transform the contents?

I'd like to rotate an image or selection just a bit to have a better ability to draw on it in Photoshop. However if I rotate it with the handles or rotate 90 degrees or whatever it changes the image and I'd like it to return in normal position after I'm finished drawing. I do not want the image to be rotated in the end, I only want to be able to draw at specific places and therefore it needs to be rotated.

how could I rotate a layer of many in a file to align it with the other layers ? To be clear, I am an astrophotographer & what I am doing is using the "Difference" mode to align layers. But the pictures are slightly rotated & I want to be able to rotate them very little to align the stars at the corners & those that are radially outwards from the center.

As the title says, lately my photoshop has been displaying rotated images with jagged/distorted edges. Now, I have not had this problem previously in the 8years I have been using photoshop, I am sure there is a simple fix to this, which I haven't really tried to fix. Any help would be apprecaited. I'm wondering if it is my monitor..?

Recently I have started to get in to photography with my digital camera. I have noticed that if you rotate a jpeg 90 degrees or whatever that the file size goes down.
Is there anyway to stop this and if so, how?

downloaded the trial version of CS2. I scan a lot of images onto my computer. Naturally, the images stored in My Pictures are not entirely centered.
Is there any feature on Photoshop that would allow me to SLIGHTLY rotate an image

I was given a disc with 75 pictures on it to deal with. The images are scans of old photos, and many of them are scans of a whole page from an album. There is handwriting on many of the photos/pages that I want to keep intact.
My big problem is this: Many of the photos/album pages were scanned in a way that makes it neccesery for me to rotate/flip them into proper position. When I rotate them, the handwriting comes out backward/mirrored.
I kind of recall running into this before on an unimportant somethingorother I was working on, but since it wasn't important I left it be.

I made a little profile image for myself to put on my site for when I redesign it. It looks fine. But the problem is, I have these 2 items of text proportioned so they look to be the sides of an invisible 3D rectangle... Problem is, I'm having trouble figuring out a way to make this 3d rectangle rotate so it will show one side (first text item) and then rotate to the next side (smaller item of text)...
The other 2 sides arent visible in this image, but they are the same as the 2 shown as to be a repeating animation. how I can achieve this either with Photoshop/ImageReady or 3D CG program?
My 3D CG program is Eovia Carrara Studio 3.

I'm using a template for a cd sleeve. One half of it is upside down so to work on the other half I have to rotate the image. I will have to rotate the image a hundred times before the project is finished.
Does this affect the quality? If so, any workarounds for me?

Is there any way to get a brush texture to rotate as you use it? I was messing around with the grass brushes and I thought it'd be nice if there was some way to get them to rotate around in a circle, like if I wanted to add some grass looking stuff to a wreath.
I can't think of a way you could easily define how fast it rotates or anything like that but it'd be nice if there was a way to do it. The only way I've thought of so far is drawing the grass in a straight line and then using the polar coordinate filter to turn it into a circle.
