Before anything else, Rotation of canvas in Photoshop for the IPad needs to be in your NEXT update.  I started using Photoshop once you installed a rotation of canvas tool.  Before that it was just a computer software tool.  Before any other tool is installed PLEASE install Canvas Rotation!!!!

    I agree as well.  Having used a Wacom for many years, it wasn't until Photoshop added rotate canvas that my sketching and painting really took off and I could finally leave pen and paper out of my workflow.

    I agree and I will add that having the ability to move and rotate the canvas with your fingers as your draw, erase and select objects in Affinity Photo has been great. You can do all that without having to move your iPad and risk scratching the lens or the back of the iPad if you don’t use a case.  I’m an avid Photoshop user on my MBP and would love to integrate the iPad version into my workflow, but this is a much needed feature.

    I agree! But I did just figure out that you can lock the screen rotation in the control center on the iPad. Works for me!!
    (Control Center is where you adjust volume, brightness, airplane mode etc. A simple swipe down from the upper right hand corner.)

    Please! I like to keep my iPad on a platform when I draw so I need to rotate it digitally

    Hi guys, is there an option to reset gestures? I am unable to freely rotate the canvas as shown in 'Gestures'. I'm sure it initially worked for me but it has since stopped and I can now only pan using the gesture.

      Hi there,

       

      Sorry that you can lo longer rotate the canvas using gestures. That shouldn't be happening. 

       

      Is this happening with every project you try to open/work on? Or one/some in particular?

       

      Have you resetting tried your canvas? Double tap anywhere in the canvas to fit canvas to the screen and recenter.

      Note: The reset canvas gesture works only when you are working with the Move, Transform, and Place Photo tools.

       

      Here's the list of all the gestires you can use on Photoshop iPad: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/touch-gesture-shortcuts.html

       

      Thanks,

      Akash

      You can see in the app what features they are currently working on (though there may be no guarantee to it).

      I totally agree its good to have but for now have you tried to select Crop tool > rotate the image > adjust the crop to the rotated image? It may sound tedious compared to a simple menu to rotate (its even available in PS Express) but if you need it now, that may be your only option (as far as I have checked so far)
