Question

Rotate and image by degrees rather than CW/CCW selection

Hi. 

How can I rotate an image by say - 55 degrees?  I see options for doing a CW/CCW rotation and then in transform I can do a custom rotate - but the rotate in transform is limited to +/- 10 degrees. ?

 

(I am trying to create a print template that shows the full moons from 3 to 94 months - but I need to roate the moon images so that they all look the same orientation when I print them)

 

Thanks

You can do this in Lightroom with the crop tool, but because the crop tool can rotate to +/- 45 degrees maximum, you'll need to use a little trick. First, in the grid, rotate the image by -90 degrees. Then rotate it +35 degrees with the crop tool.

This can't be done in Lightroom. You must do this in Photoshop or another picture edit program.
