How do you rotate Layers in Photoshop?

You can rotate layers in Photoshop by using the transform tool.

Here's a step-by-step guide based on the provided reference:

Rotating Layers using the Transform Tool

1. Select the layer: First, make sure the layer you want to rotate is selected in the Layers panel.
2. Activate the Transform Tool: Press Command + T (Mac) or Control + T (Windows) to activate the transform tool. This will put a bounding box with handles around your selected layer, as shown in the YouTube video reference.
3. Rotate: Move your cursor just outside of a corner handle of the transform box. Your cursor will change to a curved, double-sided arrow. Click and drag to rotate your layer. You can see this process in the video tutorial provided.
4. Finalize: Once you are satisfied with the rotation, press the Enter key (Windows) or the Return key (Mac) to apply the transformation.

Additional Points:

• The reference video emphasizes using the move tool first before accessing the transform tool.
• You can precisely control the rotation by entering specific values in the options bar at the top of the screen after activating the transform tool.
• Holding down the Shift key while rotating will constrain the rotation to 15-degree increments.
