James is right, but that only works under certain circumstances:

- if a non-background layer is current
- if you have a selection (on either a layer or background)

If you just open an image and want to rotate it you can use Image: Image Rotation: Arbitrary (unless you want 90, 180, or 270 which are right there). But that only lets you type in a number. But it does increase the canvas size to accomodate the new rotated extents. If you want feedback as you rotate, duplicate the background layer then use techniques per James. The rotated layer will spill outside the bounds of the canvas. You can increase the canvas size off the Image menu or you can use the crop tool. Select the whole image with Crop. Then grab the corner grips to stretch the crop bigger. The crop bounds will snap to the extents of the rotated layer - handy.

If you are trying to straighten an existing image which has a line you know should be vertical or horizontal you can do this quickly in two steps. Use the Ruler tool (hiding behind the eyedropper). Measure out along the reference line in the image. Then use arbitrary rotate. The correct angle will be filled in automaticly. BUT if you are doing an image rotate it will be the right direction. If you are doing Edit: Transform: Rotate it will go the wrong direction. Up on the "toolbar" (thingie, whatever, majigabob) the amount of rotation is shown in a little edit control with a < next to it. You can change the sign (+/-) of the rotation in there to correct the direction.

One last thing... last time I tested, Photoshop's rotation was better at preserving detail than other software's.

Alrasheed,

Just a quick, un-related point.. Can you please stop writing in CAPS and in the middle of the page. I don't see any other member writing like this, and it's a little un-professional looking.
