Question

How to roll an image (pse9)?

I have an image of a round porthole with rivets all around it. There is a rivet at the top of the porthole, one at the bottom, one "east," and one "west.". The rivet at the bottom is off center. If I rotate the image to bring the bottom rivet center, the top rivet will then be off center. I need a way to "roll" the image. The top rivet has to remain fixed while the bottom moves a little to the right. Does anyone know how to roll an image? I'm using elements 9.

Thanks

    Hi Peter,

    I've moved this posting from the Photoshop Sketch (iOS app) forum to the Photoshop Elements forum.

    Are your rivets on a separate layer? Did you draw them by hand? Moving them into place manually might be the way to go.

    If your rivets are “baked in” to the image, you may have to copy them to a new layer (select them with the circular marquee too and use Ctrl-J/Cmd-J, or Layer > New Layer via Copy). Then you can move them around individually, and you’ll need to use the clone stamp to cover them on the original layer.

    Do do you have just four rivets, as implied by your note? If you have more than four, and want to distribute them uniformly around the circle, you can do this with free transform, and “transform again.” Let us know more about your image, perhaps with a screen shot, and we can help further.

    Mike
