Its all there in the pull down menus, but I prefer to select the object, right click will give you free transform, click on free transform and it is all there.
Paul – thanx a bunch. It works like a charm! Have a Happy New Year. Joel
Joel,

For a more precise rotation use the measure tool first to get the angle.
Or simply make sure you have Show Bounding Box checked in the options bar when the Move tool is selected. The minute you click on the edge of the bounding box you get the options for Transform (Ctrl-T) or you can rotate manually.
Peace,

Thank you…much appreciated!
Boy…I’ve got a lot to learn. Thanx for all your help.
For most precise rotation double click (highlight) set rotation field in Options bar and use up and down arrows on your keyboard to rotate in 0.1-degree increments.

Did you know that you can single click the field name and it automatically highlights the entire field? This is true for most, but not all data entry fields in photoshop.

Exactly. It doesnt work with rotate field but you can also right click> select all
if you want to cover all methods of highlighting entry fields. 😉
You can also rotate during the crop, instead of rotating then cropping.

Actually, if we are gonna get really picky you can simply single left-click inside the rotate angle box. It WON’T highlight the whole field (as Andrew said) but you can still now use your up and down cursor to change the degrees without the field even being highlighted!!! 🙂
That’s the nice thing about standards, there are so many to choose from.

How is that for information overload?
That was the result of a simple question. Try asking a hard one and then dive for cover.

I’d say Great Job then! (Kidding, sort of—they always say there are at least 3 ways to do something in photoshop) and I’m open minded to the "menage a trois" concept– but it does complicate matters for us "newbies" that are just trying to "get it!"
Thank goodness humor is one of the important factors! Dion, thanks for another chuckle.

Any time youre confused about rotation heres one that always works: Filter> Blur> Radial Blur> SPIN. Amount? Knock yourself out
just be gentle with USM filter after that. 😉
