How to rotate text I types - snowforest - 06-02-2025
I typed a text and that layer is selected. I am doing transform Tools>Rotate but it keeps rotating the whole image which is very counterintuitive. How to rotate just the text I typed?

What version of Gimp are you using - It does make a little difference. Assuming Gimp 3.0.x
Two possibilities for rotating the whole image.
(1) All the layers are selected. If using the default black theme, sometimes not easy to see what layers are selected.
(2) In the tool options the Image option is selected.
Make sure
(3) Only the text layer is selected
and
(4) The layer icon in the tool options is selected.
