Hello, so I want to edit a picture, but the thing is:

I open up the picture document. It´s there. I convert it into a layer.
But when I click with the right mouse button on the picture there won´t be any options to edit the picture (see screenshot)
Why?

Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

Furn example turning 180°.

You do not seem to have initiated a transformation yet, you just have the Move Tool set to »Show Transform Controls«.

Invoke the Transformation (cmd-T) … edit: ctrl-T on Windows, I guess.

c.pfaffenbichler is exactly right. Because you activated Show Transform Controls, it looks like you are in a transform box but you aren't. You can see the transform handles, but you have not yet initiated Edit > Free Transform.

See the difference after Edit > Free Transform?

What kind of edits do you expect to be listed in that dialog? (edited)

What kind of editing do you want to perform on the image?

I know where to find this options but normally I should be able to find them by right clicking on the picture.

But why would any one need to do this for basic features? If I right click an image clearly I have SOMETHING (vs. nothing which is the option) I want do with that image. This is a sorry product design and product management fail.
