GrassyKnoll Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've looked and cannot find a solution to an image rotation issue I'm seeing and I know it has to be easy! I have an image that is 500 pixels wide by 25 pixels high. I am trying to rotate it 45 degrees and when I do this the only viewable area is still the 500 x 25 box. In Photoshop when I resize it changes the viewable area to a square shape to fit the new rotated image look. What am I doing wrong? TIA.

Sarkut Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 This will work for a one layer image. Duplicate the layer. Next: Image > Canvas Size Maintain Aspect Ratio - No checkmark Width and Height - 500 pixels Anchor - Middle OK Next: Delete the bottom layer Rotate the layer content: Ctrl + A With Shift key down, use the Move Selected Pixels tool with right mouse-button. Three increments of rotation will be 45 degrees. Using the Magic Wand at zero tolerance, click the alpha near the canvas edge. Invert the selection: Ctrl + i Crop to selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
