Photoshop for beginners: How to use the rotate tool in Photoshop

I haven’t posted a Photoshop tutorial in a while, so let’s change that! The rotate tool is easy to use and oh so handy.

This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase after clicking one of these links I’ll receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you) in exchange for referring you.

How to use the rotate tool in Photoshop

If you don’t have Photoshop, you can purchase and download it here (my affiliate link).

To enlarge the screen of the video, click the square icon in the bottom right hand corner of the video (it will say ‘full screen’ when you hover your mouse over the icon).

For more tutorials, check out the free graphic design video tutorials library and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

With the rotate tool you can:

Rotate the entire canvas/template

Go to image > image rotation > then choose how much you want to rotate it by. So if your page was portrait orientation and you wanted to make it landscape orientation, you would rotate is 90 degrees

Rotate text, clipart, shapes, patterns, photos, graphics or other design elements

Rather than rotating the entire canvas and all of the design elements, you can rotate just one shape, or just one photo, one line of text etc.

Click on the layer, press CTRL and t (letter T) your keyboard and change the number in the degrees icon from the top menu

If you don’t know the exact degree you want to rotate it by, left click and drag your mouse to ‘freestyle’ rotate it until you’re happy with the angle.

I remember being so frustrated when I was figuring out how to use Photoshop and wishing there was some place I go could for quick tutorials on how to use the specific tools in Photoshop. So after a few years of using Photohop, I decided to record those tutorials and curate a free graphic design video tutorials library 🙂
