lettergothic Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I need to rotate a document .5 degrees in order to straighten a vertical edge of a picture of a magazine page. In photoshop, i just do image rotation>free> .5 degrees CCW and hit go. I cannot find a "free rotate" command in Af Photo. How is this done in photo? Thanks, as always. lettergothic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 You could select the Crop tool, then on the Context menu select Straighten, then draw a line along the edge that is supposed to be vertical, then Apply the crop. Alternatively, you could select the layer in the Layer panel, make sure it's unlocked, and with the Move Tool drag the rotation handle (center node above the layer on-screen) as you desire; or use the Transform panel to specify the desired rotation in the R field.

lettergothic Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks, Walt. I used the Transform Panel as that seemed best for a .5 deg. move. Is the top left button on the little tic tac toe diagram for CCW and the top right for CW? The directions in the help file aren't clear to me on this point.

The directions in the help file aren't clear to me on this point. I do believe you are talking about the Rotation Centres, click and choose the one in the middle and whatever will rotate around the middle of whatever's bounding box. The default is upper left. Clockwise or Counterclockwise is "- 0.5 degrees" or "+ 0.5 degrees". The "+" is optional. One could also use 359.5 degrees I guess.

lettergothic Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Old Bruce, Got it! That makes sense. Regarding CW & CCW, does one use – or + degree settings, in the "R" field, to rotate CW or CCW? thanks, lettergothic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to check, - (negative) is clockwise. Yes R is the field you want.

You might update your earlier post (just above) which gives the opposite impression Old Bruce 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
