LenC Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 That is, the control handles are not visible. I'm trying for a precise rotation.

LenC Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Could one set up a macro to rotate a small amount, say half a degree, and then run it on the enlarged image that doesn't show the handles?

R C-R Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Why not use the Transform panel for this?

LenC Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Transform is almost the answer. Mousing the slider to rotate the image is too coarse; needs a modifier key to reduce the rotation to (say) one tenth the default. Also on first tries the panel behaves unexpectedly: does not always rotate around the selected point; canvas drifts rather than rotates; selected (duplicate) layer twice disappeared.

R C-R Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 For precise rotation, which is what you asked about, you can enter the rotation value directly in the Transform panel text entry field. Rotation occurs around the selected anchor point in the panel (the nine squares on the left side of the panel). You can also click directly on the "R:" text label & drag left or right without having to use the slider. This will rotate in 1° increments if you drag slowly. If you have a mouse or equivalent with a scroll wheel you can hover the pointer over the text entry field & change its values with the scroll wheel. If you hold down the Option key while doing this it will increment by 0.1°, otherwise by 1° increments. Hold down the Shift key instead & it will change by 10° increments.

LenC Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Wonderful, exactly what I was hoping for! I didn't think to look for this since it wasn't mentioned in the PDF help I was looking at. Rotation is behaving correctly now. Will post a note elsewhere if issues recur.
