How can I 3D-rotate an image around the y-axis in Photoshop?

Question

How can I use Photoshop in order to rotate a bitmap image on the y-axis? I'm trying to make it so that the right side of the image will go "into" the screen, and the left side will go "out" of the screen.

Answer 1

You should be able to simulate the effect by applying a perspective transformation.

The option is Edit > Transform > Perspective or you can grab a corner with Ctrl + Alt and then hold shift down while dragging

Answer 2

If you do actually want to rotate the z axis to create a 3D effect you must have Photoshop CS4 Extended or higher to do this:

1. Select your layer, then the 3D menu (inbetween Analysis and View), and New 3D Postcard from Layer
2. Toggle the 3D rotation tool, which is 4th from the bottom or press K for its shortcut key
3. Rotate away

Answer 3

You can also do a "lens correction." It's basically a perspective distortion. Go to Filter>Lens Correction

Answer 4

you just need to skew the images I would search online for that there are tons of tutorials on skewing images with photoshop or gimp

Answer 5

If you rotate a 2D image on its z axis,then it will become perpendicular to the plane of the canvas.
Thus the only visible image will be a line.

Answer 6

Edit - Transform - Rotate

Drag the little cursor in the centre of the image to where you want the rotation point to be.

Then drag the image around the rotation point by one of the handles or set an angle on the menu bar.
