You can't directly rotate a ruler in Photoshop. However, you can achieve a similar effect by rotating the canvas or the image itself. Here's how:
Rotating the Canvas
- Select the "View" menu.
- Choose "Rotate Canvas" and then select the desired rotation angle.
Rotating the Image
- Select the "Edit" menu.
- Choose "Transform" and then select "Rotate."
- Drag the handles to rotate the image to your desired angle.
You can also use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+T (Windows) or Command+T (macOS) to access the Free Transform tool, which allows you to rotate images and apply other transformations.
Practical Insights
- Rotating the canvas is useful for temporarily changing the orientation of your workspace.
- Rotating the image permanently changes the image's orientation.
Examples
- You can rotate the canvas to view your image from different angles for easier composition.
- You can rotate the image to align it with the ruler's orientation.
