P: Rotation of canvas on iPad

Community Beginner ,
Nov 04, 2019 Nov 04, 2019

Before anything else, Rotation of canvas in Photoshop for the IPad needs to be in your NEXT update.  I started using Photoshop once you installed a rotation of canvas tool.  Before that it was just a computer software tool.  Before any other tool is installed PLEASE install Canvas Rotation!!!!

Photoshop for ipad is a total dogs dinner, if you can't rotate the canvas with touch gesture, like you can in adobe fresco, then what good is it? I've been having this issue for nearly three months now and it still hasn't been fixed.

I agree and I will add that having the ability to move and rotate the canvas with your fingers as your draw, erase and select objects in Affinity Photo has been great. You can do all that without having to move your iPad and risk scratching the lens or the back of the iPad if you don’t use a case.  I’m an avid Photoshop user on my MBP and would love to integrate the iPad version into my workflow, but this is a much needed feature.

I agree as well.  Having used a Wacom for many years, it wasn't until Photoshop added rotate canvas that my sketching and painting really took off and I could finally leave pen and paper out of my workflow.

Is there any way to rotate the canvas while working in photoshop on the app? I've been using photoshop on my laptop with a Wacom tablet for a while and I also have procreate so I've grown very use to being able to rotate my canvas while I work. I'm still learning the controls on this app so maybe I'm just missing something?

You have to rotate the whole iPad.

I just can't wrap my head around the fact that there is no rotation in the mobile photoshop, it makes it unusable for illustration since most artists prefer not to rotate their device while working. I'm hoping this fix comes fast.

So many people discard the app because of the lack of rotation.

This is a core feature, I don't understand why it's not prioritized. I am NOT going to rotate my iPad when I'm drawing, the standard 2 finger twist gesture which works so very well in Procreate and is part of the Apple HIG should be used here.
