simple 90 degree rotation?

[Pozos]

When I import a photo to Affinity and it needs to be rotated 90 degrees how do I do it without going through the very cumbersome menu rotation which is in 15 degree increments. Can't believe there is not a one step 90 degree rotation possible.

Thanks,

Pozos

Hi Pozos,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

To rotate an image by 90 degrees, you can use Arrange > Rotate 90º Clockwise or Rotate 90º Anticlockwise.

 

Hope this helps.

Pozos,

 

From your 15° increment comment, I think you may be confusing the rotate canvas commands on the View menu with rotating the document or its layers. Rotating the canvas is a connivence feature but it doesn't actually change anything in the document that will be saved with it.

Hi Pozos,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Adding to what Lee D said, the commands from the View menu were designed to rotate the canvas view to help you draw with a pen/table for example. They don't rotate the document.

If you want to rotate the whole document go to menu Document ▸ Rotate 90º Clockwise or Rotate 90º Anticlockwise. To rotate just an object/layer follow Lee D instructions (Arrange > Rotate 90º Clockwise or Rotate 90º Anticlockwise).
