Question about transformations

This links to a tutorial on transformations:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWHN--thboI&ab_channel=EthanDray   It's probably several years old, and I don't know what version of PS he's using.  If you go to the video at 1:55, you will see him scale a round object, grab a handle, and rotate the object (basically, flatten it) on the X-axis and then on the Y-axis.  If I try the same, all I can do is make the object larger or smaller (it is, after all, SCALE), but I can't rotate it around an axis.  (Note: rotate around an axis not just the normal rotate function). It would be convenient to be able to perform that maneuver.  I notice there is a circle around his cursor arrow when he moves the handle.  Not so with mine.  Can anyone tell me how to duplicate what he does in that video?

Hi @Doc_Pit hover on a corner when transforming to get the rotate symbol then click and rotate.

Kevin, thanks for the response.  The rotate symbol enables rotation clockwise or counter-clockwise.  If you look at that tutorial, he is able to rotate the object around the X and Y axes.  It's like looking at a dinner plate full frontal, than rotating it so that you are looking at its edge.

Hi @Doc_Pit 3D support ended with Photoshop 22.2. That functionality (and this tutorial) are now deprecated.
