You can also rotate an image by clicking the Rotate Right
or
Rotate Left
button on the Standard toolbar.
If you want to change the center of rotation before you
interactively rotate the image, hold down Ctrl, and drag the
rotation pivot point (the circle at the center of the image) to a
new position.
Cropping images
You can remove unwanted portions of an image to create stronger
compositions or to draw attention to another area of the image.
Corel PaintShop Pro helps you crop by providing presets to common
image sizes, such as 4
×
6 inches or 10
×
15 centimeters.
Cropping reduces the amount of hard drive memory required for
storing the image. In addition, cropping can improve color corrections
