pilotwritergeorge Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I want to create a collage of small pictures. I would like some of the pictures to be rotated, but not at 90 deg or 180 - at smaller angles off normal. I do not see how to rotate an image by a preselected angle, or rotate on the fly. As a second question, for the pictures I want to make the background [usually a solid color, white] transparent so I can overlay one object with another. How do I make just the background fully transparent, without affecting an object? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Rotation: Place image on it's own layer. Press M to activate the move tool. Right click (& hold) + move the mouse. Adding the shift key constrains the rotation to 15 degree increments (you'll find the angle of rotation in the Staus Bar). Transparency: Activate the Magic Wand tool and click on the background color (you may need to fine tune the Tolerance in the Tool Bar to get the entire background selected). When it is selected, press Delete.
