DON T LET THE BROWSER PREVIEW FOOL YOU

DON'T LET THE BROWSER PREVIEW FOOL YOU

When you rotate an image in the File Browser, Photoshop doesn't actually rotate the file until you open the image, so all you're really rotating is the preview. If you want the image permanently rotated, you have to open the image, let Photoshop rotate it, and then resave it. Only then will the image become permanently rotated. Otherwise, you're just telling Photoshop, "Hey, when you open this image, rotate it for me, okay?" It just saves you a step.
