How would I rotate an image and also how would I rotate the canvas in A Photo or Designer?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I cropped an image that is portrait/verticle.  I would like to make it horizontal/landscape. Since I cropped it, I need to rotate the canvas I suppose.

Is there another way besides having to constantly click "rotate right" from the view menu?  When rotating something that does not take up the whole canvas, there is a line and a circle to rotate the image using the mouse.

Thanks

The View menu just changes how you're looking at the image; it doesn't actually change the document.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Done screenshots might help.

But perhaps, once you've cropped, you would Rasterize & Trim, then use Document > Resize.

Hi Walt,

I would like this image I sketched horizontal.  I would also like to resize it to make it larger.

Right now the fly is facing the wrong way.  Hard to hook fish like it is now 🙂

I don't know what uploaded.  It is taking forever to upload a couple of small files.  Maybe the png file made it.  I doubt the APhoto file did.

Thanks

In Photo you could use Document > Rotate, which will let you rotate it right or left by 90 degrees.

That may be all you need.
