Rotating and resetting the view

- [Instructor] In this movie,…I'll show you how to rotate your view…of an image inside Photoshop,…which can be useful when you're hand painting in edits.…After all, it's like rotating a sheet of paper…when you're sketching or drawing with traditional tools.…But I do want to emphasize we are…not rotating the image itself.…We're just rotating our view of the image.…And to see how that works,…you want to drop down to the hand tool right here.…And if you can ignore the animation for a moment,…notice that the tool icon has…a tiny triangle in its bottom right corner.…

That tells you that if you click and hold on the tool,…you're going to bring up a fly-out menu…of one or more additional tools,…including, in our case, the rotate view tool,…which happens to have a keyboard shortcut,…as we're seeing on the right hand side of the menu, of R.…And that will become important in a moment.…All right, now to use the tool,…all you have to do is drag inside…the image window like so, at which point,…you'll see a compass rose,…which is showing you the angle of your rotation.…
