How to rotate an empty selection in photoshop?

Question

I'm actually an advanced user, so this is completely ridiculous to me. I've been retouching this cyborg for hours and at least a couple times i've wanted to rotate or scale a selection without actually affecting any of the layers. Unfortunately every time i try to on an empty layer, photoshop says it can't because no pixels are selected and every time i try without any layer selected, it says no layers are selected. I recently updated to CS6 and i don't remember ever having this issue before.

Answer 1

i don't thik you can rotate rotation in blank layer, at least a dot in the selection must exist.
