or adding pixels to make the image larger, may result in quality loss because
the pixels being added do not always correspond to the original image.
Downsampling
, or removing pixels to make the image smaller, always causes quality loss
because pixels are discarded to resize the image. Data loss in the image is another side effect
of downsampling.

rotate the canvas 180°, 90° clockwise, or 90° counterclockwise.
