davidtayhs Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thot I used to be able to rotate text easily with the mouse after typing it. Recently, with version 3, I found that I could move the text but couldn't rotate it. Is there a new way of doing things or have I forgotten how it's done?! Appreciate advice.

MadJik Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Just select the text with any selection tool you prefer press M for move tool and hold right click and drag! Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidtayhs Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks MadJik for the response. I could be mistaken but I believed that in an earlier version I could not only move the line of text but could also make it inclined by right-clicking and rotating it. Could anyone tell me if I'm mistaken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedHONDA Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The way I did my text on my avatar is by making a new image, putting the text in, pasting it in the actual avatar image and then rotating it.

davidtayhs Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Surprise, surprise! I first inserted text, then selected the text, and using the move tool was able to right-click and rotate the text to the angle that I wanted. Remembered this from a previous posting which I couldn't track down. But could be useful steps for others trying to do the same. If its done on a new layer, the background will be unaffected.
