You may well look at that and think: “Well that’s pretty useless really. Now, just the selected part rotates and it leaves a gap. If I say, Rotate Selection 90 o right watch what happens. If I go up to the Image menu, Rotate, the top part relates to the whole image, the middle part relates to the selection. Now, having made a selection once again if I use the Rotate buttons down here, it’ll rotate the whole image. This doesn’t have to be very accurate for the purposes of this exercise. And I’m going to see if I can select just the headland. So, I’m going to take the Quick Selection tool. I’m going to select the whole of that headland. What I’m going to do now is to make a selection. So, when I build up an image in layers, as you can see, I can operate on individual layers. In this middle part, if I select Rotate Layer 90 o left, only the dog is rotated. Now there’s a third part to do with straightening, which I’ll come back to later on. The middle part only applies to the selected layer. If I go up to the Image Rotate menu it’s in three parts. If I do a rotate using the button on the taskbar again it rotates the whole image. That the dog is on what’s called Shape 1. There we are! It gets the foreground color which is black. I’m going to select a dog and I’m going to draw a dog on the beach. I’m going to go over here in the Draw group to the Custom Shape tool and that’s very convenient. If I draw something onto the image that something that I draw on there will have its own layer. That’s the whole of the image that you can see at the moment. If I show the Layers panel, you will see that this image has just a single layer on the right there. I just want to give you the general idea. We haven’t really done anything with layers so far and I’m not going to go into this in detail. Let’s take a look at rotating and flipping a layer. Of course, Flip Vertical turns the picture upside down. Again up to the Image menu, Rotate, Flip Horizontal, and the seafront now face the opposite way. Let me undo that and let’s have a quick look at flipping. But it’s important to be aware that the canvas that you can’t usually see does appear from time to time to accommodate things like partial rotations. We’re going to be looking at canvases and so on later on in the course. The image has not itself changed size but the canvas that it’s on has increased in size to accommodate the whole partly rotated image. Effectively, what we’re looking at there is the canvas on which this particular image is drawn. Notice, that our selected background color is black. One thing that may surprise you there is that black background. So for instance, if I wanted to rotate for 42.1 o I could type in 42.1 and click OK. If I go up to the menu and click on Image, Rotate, (apart from the options) you’ve just seen there is a Custom Rotation as well.Īnd with a custom rotation, I can choose a custom angle. If I right click on a thumbnail in the photo bin, I have Rotate 90 o left, Rotate 90 o right. And then, of course, I also have a Rotate clockwise option as well.Īnother way that you can do rotation is to use the photo bin. I eventually finish up where I started from. We have a Rotate anticlockwise button there. There are a pair of buttons or I should say one button with a pair of options on the taskbar for rotation. There are a number of ways of doing this. Let’s start with rotating and flipping a whole image. I just think it’s important now to get an idea of the differences between these before we go too much farther with our use of the Expert Editor. Although, we won’t really be looking at that in detail until later on. I am going to demonstrate the rotating and flipping of both selections and layers in this section. This might be a selection in an image or as we’ll increasingly see during the course on layers within an image. Well, so are rotating and flipping.Īpart from operating on whole images, there may be occasions when you want to operate on part of an image. I mentioned in the preceding section that cropping is a very common operation when you’re working with PSE. Finally, we’ll look at transforms in general. We’ll look at rotating and flipping layers and selections. Then, we’ll do some straightforward rotating and flipping of a whole image. We’ll also be looking in more general terms at transforms in the Expert Editor.įirst of all, I’m going to give you an introduction to rotating and flipping. In this section, we’re going to look at rotating and flipping. Power Pivot, Power Query and DAX in Excel.
