Relying on results due to Shmerkin and Solomyak, we show that outside a zero-dimensional set of parameters, for every planar homogeneous self-similar measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$, with strong separation, dense rotations and dimension greater than
$1$, there exists
$q>1$ such that
$\{P_{z}\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}\}_{z\in S}\subset L^{q}(\mathbb{R})$. Here
$S$ is the unit circle and
$P_{z}w=\langle z,w\rangle$ for
$w\in \mathbb{R}^{2}$. We then study such measures. For instance, we show that
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ is dimension conserving in each direction and that the map
$z\rightarrow P_{z}\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ is continuous with respect to the weak topology of
$L^{q}(\mathbb{R})$.
