How to Rotate an Image in Photoshop
Like many other image editing software programs, Adobe Photoshop also allows you to rotate your pictures. However, there is something which differentiates Adobe Photoshop from standard Windows Picture Viewer, and that is custom rotation option. If you have pictures that are slightly tilted, then you can use Adobe Photoshop’s rotation feature to make it straight. The generic rotation allows you to rotate the image for more than 90 degrees. With every click, the image will rotate by 90 degrees. The custom rotation will allow you to rotate the image to even 1 degree.
