Select and then rotate selection frame and content?

Post by Yves Benoit »

Say I want to draw a daisy flower.
I draw a petal. I select it (with polygonal selection for instance) , then I copy selection.
Then I paste it.
Then I need to rotate selection with content for new angle of new petal. But it seems impossible.
I may only translate selection with content; I cannot rotate both.
In my trials, only selection would rotate.
Is there a way ?

Thank you

There is a simple solution.
Paste the selection into a new layer.
Deselect.
Select layer/transform from the menu.
You can now move, rotate and scale that layer with the content of the pasted selection.
