Arbitrary rotation of an image (4deg) with color fill

Question

Hi all,

I used to be able to open an image and do the following steps....crop it to appropriate dimensions, resize and then rotate the image to an arbitrary 4 degree rotation and the rotated space would automatically fill with my preselected background color.

Now, when I do these same steps it does a transparent rotated space. And, my only work around has been to save the image after the resize step, close it, then reopen that image to rotate it and the rotated area will then fill with my background color. Really time consuming. Is there a way to get it to work as it used to?

Thank you in advance! Mac os

Look in the options bar for the Crop tool, and look at the setting for Delete Cropped Pixels, as shown in the demo below. That setting affects how an empty area around the image gets filled. When Delete Cropped Pixels is disabled, the area around the image must be transparent in order to preserve pixels cropped outside the visible canvas, so you probably want to enable Delete Cropped Pixels.

Maybe i am wrong but…If your image is inside an artboard (plan de travail in french) you can opt for a specified background color (like black) for this artboard.Then when you will rotate the image the empty space will be filled witht the artboard background color
