Please do not mention "Image -> Image Rotation -> 90 [Counter] Clockwise".

That is way obvious and readily found via Google.

That will rotate the image without rotating the canvas.

My solution is:

select "image -> canvas size"
Copy canvas width/height and paste in height/width
select image-to-top-left
click okay
invoke "Image -> Image Rotation -> 90 [Counter] Clockwise"
select unpainted bits
invert selection
crop

It seems like this could be made a little easier. If there is already an easier way, then it needs to be made findable 'cuz Google can't find it. It very readily finds the image rotation menu thingy. So does this forum search.

Correct answer Barb Binder

So brkorb, semantics aside, are you now clear on the difference?

Image > Image Rotation > 90 CC rotates the entire image—canvas and contents.

Edit > Transform > Rotate 90 CC rotates what is selected (in all three screen shots it is the Beach layer), but leaves the canvas and other content alone.

I copied from one place believing that that was what I had done, when it was not what I had done. Yes, it is clear now that the two mechanisms that sounded the same to me were, in fact, different. The English verbiage seemed to imply to me the same action, but the semantics of the two commands was completely different. Thank you all for your eagerness to be helpful.

My bad, I guess. After your comment, I restudied what I had done:

Edit -> Transform -> Rotate 90 deg

is very, very different from the behavior of

Image -> Image Rotation -> 90 deg

even if the English sounds like it would be the same....(to me anyway)

That statement seems to be incorrect as, of course, the Canvas is being rotated, too.

Maybe you could post some screenshots to illustrate what you mean?

Canvas rotation is seldom required because most people know how to create a new canvas of required height and width. And you can save the preset for use in other projects.
