Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

Is the lower Layer a Smart Object? If it is not, but rather a plain pixel Layer, the concept of »rotation« would not apply because the Bounds define a rectangle with vertical and horicontal sides.

thanks sr you replied

The sr layer is not rotated. The script only shows the alert angle

sr I don't understand what should I do. I feel like I am doing something wrong

Report · Sep 05, 2024

You should use the number/s to rotate the Layer you want to rotate.

I did not create a Script for you, I gave you code to demonstrate how to determine a Smart Object’s angle.

Hi sir I want to show you a video. Download and watch this video. In this video, if you look in the Photoshop layer panel, you will understand that even though the smart object is not a layer, the layer is rotated.

I don’t understand what you mean.

Does the »Show transform controls«-setting of the Move Tool confuse the issue?

I don't know much about photoshop java scripting. Sir you are wiser than us you understand more than us. I also can't understand, I am also confused. How can the selected layer from the script be rotated according to the following layer. Is this possible?

Sir this is a common problem. This problem occurs because the layer height size and layer width size are not fixed. Space is left above and below the level. The level does not fit. This space should not be left. The top and bottom layers should fit. It doesn't matter if the left and right sides of the side don't fit.

By @MM258920690p77

The following code would rotate a Layer to the angle of the Smart Object immediately below it (see screenshots).

If you need to additionally scale and move the Layer then feel free to amend the Script accordingly.

The relevant infomation is already being assessed in the function »getAngleOfLayer« as far as I can tell.
