Chapter 9: Geometric Transformations

Using the Image menu, you can quickly change the geometric properties of an image.  This is useful when a camera doesn’t correctly log if an image should be in portrait or landscape mode.  You can also flip or flop an image to create a mirrored image.

Rotating an Image

Using the Image menu you can easily rotate an image in 90˚ increments.
