Rotating Photoshop brushes after it stroked
If the brush has already stroked and you want to rotate or scale it, this can be done as long the brush is stroked in different layer. I always use different layer when I stroke a brush on it. Just to ensure that I can change the brush image after it was stroked.
To rotate the layer contain brush, you can use Edit > Free Transform or Ctrl + T. Rotate or scale the photoshop brush image as you want and press Enter to commit the change.

I’m on CS3 currently; I was looking for a rotate brush option and couldn’t find it. Found some search results that were a 2-3 years old, pointing out this particular Brushes pallette but I just couldn’t find it, thought maybe PS did away with it. I see this tutorial is for CS4 so I knew it was in there somewhere. I just so happened to trying changing my saved workspace to the “Legacy” preset, then pressing F5, and voila! There it was. A control click (while in Brushes) still only brings up the tip choices, but not the full set of options shown here with rotate, spacing, etc. So maybe if I save this as my new preferred workspace, I’ll be OK for the future. Thanks for the tutorial.
@Jason Hathcock: Thank you for sharing with us Jason. If we do right clicking with the brush pointer, it will only show the tip size and hardness option. The full set of brush option is only available in the brush panel (F5).
this helped a lot. Thank you(:
This is wonderful, but somehow I managed to do away with the diameter/ rotate part of my brush window. Do you know how to get it back?
@Elizabeth: If you mean that the brush control is now longer appear; and the brush panel only show list of the brush, it can be happen because the brush panel is viewed in compact mode. By default brush panel is in expanded view. Try click the panel option button (in top right of the panel), the select the Expanded View.
