Im on 26.4.1 windows, and somehow i managed to disable the possibility to rotate images wit the crop tool, and I cant get it working again. 

When I hover around te corners, i usually git a bended double arrow as my mouse icon, but that doesnt happen anymore 😞

Any ideas?

    Hi @Jan373823687ed1! 

    Could you try resetting the tool? Click on the Crop Tool's downward arrow in the top menu, then the Gear icon, and you'll find an option in the dropdown menu to reset the tool.



    If that doesn't work, we can reset Photoshop preferences. This will restore Photoshop to its default state. Just make sure to back up your preferences beforehand. Follow these steps to reset the preferences.

    Thank you! Alek

    @Aleke  Can I ask you a question?  I think of reseting a tool or function as returning it to its defualt settings, so it will fix the tool or function if you have somehow stuffed up it's options and it's too hard to manually change them back to the defaults.   I have assumed that resetting a tool or function will not fix it if it is actually broken in the same way that resetting Preferences does.  I'd love to know how that actually works?

      Something else just occurred to me.  The crop tool will not rotate if GPU Acceleration has become disabled.
