Choose Image > Image Rotation, and choose one of the following commands from the submenu:
Rotates the image by a half-turn.
Rotates the image clockwise by a quarter-turn.
Rotates the image counterclockwise by a quarter-turn.
Rotates the image by the angle you specify. If you choose this option, enter an angle between -359.99 and 359.99 in the angle
text box. (In Photoshop, you can select °CW or °CCW to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.) Then click OK.
Flips the image along the corresponding axis.
Image Rotation is destructive editing and actually modifies the file information. If you want to non-destructively rotate the image for
viewing, use the Rotation tool.
Change the canvas size
The canvas size is the full editable area of an image. The Canvas Size command lets you increase or decrease an image’s canvas size.
Increasing the canvas size adds space around an existing image. Decreasing an image’s canvas size crops into the image. If you increase the
canvas size of an image with a transparent background, the added canvas is transparent. If the image doesn’t have a transparent background,
there are several options for determining the color of the added canvas.
1. Choose Image > Canvas Size.
2. Do one of the following:
Enter the dimensions for the canvas in the Width and Height boxes. Choose the units of measurement you want from the pop-up menus
next to the Width and Height boxes.
Select Relative, and enter the amount you want to add or subtract from the image’s current canvas size. Enter a positive number to add
to the canvas, and enter a negative number to subtract from the canvas.
