I have a document with multiple layers. I can rotate a layer via the script. However, if the layer is already rotated via some angle, how can i determine that via the script?

You can create a linked and disabled vector mask with only two ancor points and determine the rotation of the layer via calculations points coordinates.

What are you talking about?

Smart Objects or regular Layers (of the various kinds)?

I am talking about the regular layers.

If you know that a Layer is a rotated rectangule one could, as mentioned earlier, try to use its transparency to determine the rotation to the closest 90˚ – if it had been rotated 180˚ for example that would not register.

Yes. The layer is a rotated rectangle. Please elaborate on how can i fetch the transparency values and how can i calculate the rotation to the closest 90.

Thanks again.
