"Photoshop Express is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe Systems Incorporated. In this lesson I'm going to teach you how to crop and rotate your photos in Photoshop Express. If you hold your mouse over top one of your photos, your "photo options" are going to appear and if you click there you can select either "rotate right" or "rotate left" and that's going to rotate your photo 45 degrees to whichever direction you selected. But I'm going to go ahead and click on "edit photo" and that's going to take you to another screen. If you click on "crop and rotate" on the left over here underneath "basics", you can also rotate 45 degrees with these buttons right here and here. You can also rotate incrementally beside where it says "straighten" there is a slider bar and you can slide that and you can see that rotates your photo as well. I'm going to go ahead and click "reset all" down here at the bottom right and come back to "crop and rotate." If you drag this box right here around, you can crop your photo as well. You're going to drag this around to where to crop it and the boxes inside of that, those are just used as a reference for your "rules of 1/3rds". And you can change the aspect up here at the top left if you want as well. But when ever you are happy, you can come up and click on the check mark right here at the top right and that's going to apply that change. And if you want to apply that to your photo, you can click on "save" at the bottom right and that's going to apply that to your photo and you can see your changes when you go back to your gallery. So that's how you crop and rotate your photos with Photoshop Express."
