Making a rectangular, square, circular, or oval selection is easy, right? Okay, try making an angled oval selection. Oh? Here’s the easiest way to change a selection that’s already active. After you make your selection, choose Select>Transform Selection. You’ll now see a bounding box around your selection that can be manipulated just like a regular layer in Free Transform. Pull the handles to scale, click-and-drag outside the box to rotate, and even Right-click for more options.
