Does anyone out there know how to rotate an image of just a few degrees? When I try to rotate an image at a degree or two the canvas stays and the image moves. I have both Paint Shop Pro 7.0 and Photoshop Elements 2.0 and they both do it that way. The very first image-editing program I had would rotate everything at any degree I wanted but that is for Windows 98 not XP which is my operating system now. It is driving me crazy for if I have to crop the image again at that angle I am losing pixels just to straighten the picture up and then in the meantime I am losing quality in the photo. Is there a way that I can move the canvas with the image with the two programs that I have?

you mean you want to end up with a "crooked" canvas? to what end? I don't know of any graphics software that displays anything but a "rectangle" squared to the x/y axis
Consider this pic ... Rotate
if you start with the dark blue 640x480 and rotate it 5 degrees CCW, the canvas HAS TO grow to 680x534 to contain the crooked image, and in order to recapture a true rectangle you have to crop it to about 600x430
as far as i know, you don't have any other options --- UNLESS you're talking about DPC entries AND you're starting with an image larger than 640x480 --- in that case rotate first and then crop to 640x480
but, like Dennis Miller and others on this site have said, that's just my opinion - I could be wrong

What I do in Photoshop is:
First enlarge the canvas from the centre out, by however many pixels.
Then do the rotate.
Then crop as necessary.

| I was wrong on that old program rotating both the canvas and image. I got on one of my old computers that had the old program and it did the same. It has been so long since I used it I forgot. I wonder why you can't say rotate an image 88 degrees but you can 90 or 180? Come on software programmers come up with a solution make it easier on us users. I guess we would have to have round images? Thanks for the help in the future I will have to continue what I have been doing and that is crop after rotating. |

| Bob, in Photoshop you can rotate an image by any degree you want. On the option bar there is box labeled with a triangle in which you can numerically specify the degrees at which the image (or layer)should be rotated. |
