after rotating canvas , each time I type/ paste images they paste as per original orientation

Thank you so much for your response. In the meantime I quit photoshop, shut down the laptop and when I restarted to do a screenshot for yoy, lo and behold it was working normaly again...all this depsite the fact that I had already tried this process once and it didn't work.

I am finding SO frequently that I have to do this for a hwjole host of different reasons.

I've been a mac user since before anyone else I know, and have used photoshop for literally decades. I mention this just because I haven't got too many windows open, I've done all the updates, I've got sufficienty memory etc etc.

Since  photoshop has become a rip off subscription product , I just seem to have endless issues.

I also cannot highlight text frequently ( it makes a new text layer instead ) , the character settings I apply simply randomly don't apply, there was a period when I couldnt stroke a line or the pen tool want working properly....just to name a few

Sorry to rant and thanks again fo ryour response. If you can shed any light on teh text issues I'd be greatful!!!

Kind regards

Cardine
