Just setup an NEC P241W monitor and I have a question. Is there a practical, fast way to rotate the monitor and the image being edited to match vertically or horizontally? One sees ads showing a vertical images on vertical monitors, so I was optimistic---but is is just hype? I see no easy way to do that. There is a useless auto-rotate feature which detects the monitor orientation but it just stretches Photoshop, the image and even the mouse cursor to make it fit. About 2-3 minutes down into the Windows settings it can be changed and it works as advertised. But that would a pain to switch every time I switch to a file with a different orientation. My video card (AMD Radeon) allows one-click switches of different setups, but it does not seem to record that far down, just superficial, cosmetic things. Maybe a hotkey, something I'm missing in the Radeon setup? Hate to waste all the great monitor acreage when editing a vertical image (all the PS palettes are on a second monitor regardless.)
I called NEC and was told there is no way to do this, but the tech support person seemed tentative.
Thanks.

Would be useful if you bothered to mention your OS...Macs have been able to do this pretty easy for a while. Pretty sure Windows can too...but we can't really help you if we have to guess how you are attaching your display. Troubleshooting 101, ya know?

My post says Windows!?

In Catalyst Control Center, Select the Hotkey Tab - be sure Enable Hotkeys is checked. You can assign a hotkey combination to pretty much any display option
