Experiment with different rotation tools.
There are several ways to rotate images in Photoshop, each with specific features to help you to get the look you’re going for. Test all of them out to see what works best for you.
Tilt an image with the Perspective Crop tool.
To adjust an image’s angle, hold down the Crop tool and choose Perspective Crop Tool from the toolbar. Use your cursor to place the borders of the point identification box around the area you’d like to shift.
Use the Transform and Free Transform tools.
When you want to rotate an image and make other kinds of transformations at the same time, look no further than the Free Transform tool. Or you can go to Edit > Transform to choose the exact transformation you want to make, like Scale, Skew, Distort, Warp and more.
Move a whole photo with the Rotate View tool.
Use the Rotate View tool to turn an entire image sideways, at an angle or upside down. Move the subject, background and all individual layers simultaneously with one easy step.
Create a mirrored look with Image Rotate.
