Rotating an Image

If an image appears to be tilted, use PhotoStudio's Rotate command to correct the problem.
To rotate an image:
1. Click Edit on the Main Menu, then choose Rotate.
2. In the Rotate dialog box, enter a value, in degrees, or drag the handles at the corners of the rotation
frame to rotate the image in the Preview Window.
3. Click OK to confirm, or press Cancel to abort the operation.
Note: The Rotate command applies only to a whole image.

Transforming a Selected Area

PhotoStudio's powerful Transform Tool transforms part of an image or layer by resizing, skewing,
rotating, or distorting it. Artistic perspective effects can then be applied to blend a pasted element
seamlessly into an image.
To apply a specific transformation:
1. Select the part of an image or layer to transform.
2. From the Tools Palette, select the Transform Tool.
3. In the Options Palette, check one of the following:
• Resize to resize the selected area or layer.
• Arbitrary to distort the selected area or layer.
• Skew to skew the selected area or layer.
• Rotate to rotate the selected area or layer.
• Perspective to apply the perspective effect to the selected area or layer.
4. Drag the handles at the corners of the transformation rectangle to manipulate the selected area or layer.
5. When finished, choose another tool in the Tools Palette to deactivate the transformation rectangle.
6. Click Select on the Main Menu, then choose None to remove the selection border.
Note:
1. The Transform Tool only applies to part of an image or layer.
2. A selection must be made in order to use the Transform Tool.
