New Photo Editing Tools in Etsy Seller App - Can't Rotate Pictures

[BeaconwoodDettman]

I noticed yesterday that there are a bunch of new tools for editing pictures - you can control brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. 

One thing that seems to be missing though is the ability to rotate a picture - the old photo editing tools in the Etsy Seller app had that. 

There is the ability when you click on "Transform" to tilt the picture to the left or right, but I'm talking about the rotate function to go 90 degrees to the left or right, another 90 degrees, etc.

I contacted support and they referred it on for review - I haven't heard back yet, but I'm hoping they put that back, I use it frequently, and you can't rotate pictures on the desktop listing photo tools. 

If the rotate function is there but it moved and I'm just missing it, please let me know.

I was sure I noticed it earlier, so I went and checked.  If you open the photo you want to rotate whilst in the edit mode, the little curved arrows for rotating are visible in bottom right.  Only problem is....they do nothing at all!!

My gripe with the recently revamped photo editor, is now it takes even longer to simply delete photos to replace them with new ones (I use this function alot as I save time by using copy, edit, publish). Clicking delete takes you to a new view where all photos are Xed, but then you still have to click the X, message do you want to delete pops up or cancel, so another click to delete each photo.  Why have they made it so time-consuming and overly complicated?

@LeLightFantastique Thank you, I see them now - I was going directly in to Transform and Adjust looking for something in there. 

It's good to know they are there, hopefully just a bug they will work out. 

I haven't tried what you are describing in terms of deleting an old photo(s) and replacing it with a new one. I'm sure I will do that at some point, it does sound like some extra clicks.

thanks for the tip about tilting photos. I am only able to use the new editing tools from the app. Is there a way to use them when editing listings on the web?

[BeaconwoodDettman]

@SunnyCottageVintage No, the only photo editing you can do in the web version is cropping. I hope they make all the editing tools available on the web version and the seller app.

Yes, I was so looking forward to finally having a Rotate tool!  Find it frustrating to do on desktop.  Sometimes photos show as right side up, then when I add to my listing, they are upside down again....grrr...
