Rotate

90 Degrees CW

Selecting

90 Degrees CW will cause your image to be rotated 90° clockwise.

90 Degrees CCW

Selecting

90 Degrees CCW will cause your image to be rotated 90° counter-clockwise.

Straighten

Select

Straighten to add a straighten step to the Edit List palette. In the Straighten step within the Edit

List palette, you can rotate an image incrementally clockwise or counter-clockwise, or you can trace a line
within your image that should be either horizontal or vertical and allow the straighten tool to automatically
straighten your image.

To straighten your image using the straighten tool, follow these steps:

1

With an image open within the editor, click on the straighten tool in the toolbar.

2

Locate a line within the image that should be either

vertical or horizontal and click on the start of the

line. While holding the mouse button down, draw

the entire length of the line, letting go when you

have reached the end of that line. The straighten tool

will then calculate the direction and degree of the

rotation to apply to the image to make the line you

described either horizontal or vertical.

3

If you made a mistake while drawing the line, you can click on the line you added to the image and

adjust one of the two anchor points found at either end of the line, or you can re-draw the line by

clicking and dragging within the image window again.
