affinity photo rotate image interactively Affinity Photo -rotate image interactively-keyboard short cut

[Gregory-CJ]

 If in case you aren't aware of this neat trick, here is a quick note on how to rotate an image in AP interactively.

Besides the keyboard shortcuts of "r" for clockwise rotation and "F5" for anti-clockwise in incremental degrees  of 15  degrees at a time  there is a keyboard shortcut to interactively rotate an image by holding down the command key while scrolling the middle of your apple mouse ( the hidden mouse wheel). This gives you access to the interactive rotation.

For this to work, insure that the "Enable canvas rotation with command and scroll wheel" is checked.

I don't use an Apple mouse but for me for that to work I need to disable "Use mouse wheel to zoom." Apparently, if enabled that overrides Enable canvas rotation with command and scroll wheel.
