Rotate View Tool

 

A long-desired feature from other leading digital painting tools is the Rotate View tool, which allows you to rotate the document canvas to make otherwise uncomfortable strokes with a digitized art tablet perfectly natural.  Press the R key or click-and-hold the Hand tool at the bottom of the Toolbox and select the Rotate View tool.  Click-and-drag on the document until you reach your desired placement.  For precision and consistency, you can also enter rotation numerically in  the Rotation Angle field in the Options Bar.  Click Reset View in the Options Bar, or double- click the Rotate View tool in the Toolbox, to return to normal orientation.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
