Rotate the Only the Selected Area of an Image

[Bert Park]

How can you only rotate the selected area of an image, not the complete image

We need more information, when you say "selected area" are you referring when you select and crop a section the image? If you do this, you will be able to rotate. Please provide more information about what are you trying to achieve.

Here's what I would try:

1) Select the area you want to rotate with the selection tools (found in the "Select" tab)

2) Copy/Paste the selected area to create an overlay image layer (Ctrl C, Ctrl V)

3) Use the rotate handle on the overlay image widget to rotate

I took some photos with a Crystal Ball & the  image inside the ball is upside down, so I want to rotate only this inside image & leave the background section of the photo outside the ball area in the correct upright position
