Sorry...I thought this would be super elementry but I can't find the answer anywhere.

I've been using Photoshop for 15 years now but lately when I rotate a picture, it is rotating around some random point, not the center. It's doing this on different computers and different accounts. I'm sure the answer is super simple but all i can find is changing the rotation point in transform...not general rotation.

Thanks and sorry for being stupid, This is probabaly like looking for your keys and discovering them in your hand

Correct answer Jeff Arola

Is it possible having Overscroll enabled in Edit>Preferences>Tools>Overscroll is causing the rotation "off center"in relation to the document area?

Hey @ultrachrome,

There are never any dumb questions—seriously! More often than not, it ends up being a keyboard shortcut that someone accidentally hits (I’ve done that so many times myself).

I tried to reproduce what you described, but I’m having a little trouble picturing it. Would you be able to share a screenshot or a quick screen recording of your workspace? That would really help us narrow things down and get to the bottom of it.
