Thank you for all of the tutorials. I just got Painter 11 a week ago and am somewhat overwhelmed with it. Thank you for helping me crack the code on eyes and hair. I need more practice, but can see improvement. My daughter has blond curly hair and, yes, it is really hard to paint! Thank you for everything. Your tutorials are really great.

Actually, Photoshop _does_ allow rotating the canvas without having type in the number (in degrees) for rotation.

All you need to do is hold down the “R” key (Rotate View tool) and then move the mouse/styles back and forth and the image can be rotated to whatever angle you like, without having to type in any numbers.

@Jordan – You’re right, Photoshop does have the Rotate Canvas option, sorry about that. It requires you to enter a specific number of degrees, and because of that I almost never use it. The curved arrow tool in Painter is so natural to use, like shifting the paper on your desk to get a better angle. And it works while cloning, which is great: it doesn’t “lose track” of the cloned image, even when tilted. However, Painter’s Rotate Canvas command (Canvas > Rotate Canvas) does NOT. If you’re cloning, use the “turn” tool, instead.

@Janine – Thank you so much! I enjoy sharing what I know, and it’s gratifying to hear that people find it helpful. Thanks for taking time to comment.
