Rotating images

You can rotate an image by 90 degrees to change its orientation to landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical). If your camera contains sensors that tag photos taken in portrait orientation, your photos are automatically rotated to the correct orientation.

You can rotate an image in Corel PaintShop Pro.

You can also rotate an image to any angle by specifying a degree of rotation or by rotating it interactively on the canvas. For information about rotating an image to straighten it according to reference points within the image, such as the horizon, see Straightening images.

You can also use the Manage workspace to apply lossless rotation to JPEG images while retaining all of the original image data.

To rotate an image

Edit workspace 

To	Do the following
Rotate an image 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise	Choose Image Rotate Right, or choose Image Rotate Left.
Rotate an image to a specific angle	Choose Image Free Rotate. In the Free Rotate dialog box, choose either the Right option or the Left option to set the direction of rotation. In the Degrees group box, choose the Free option, and type or set a value in the control.
Rotate an image interactively	On the Tools toolbar, choose the Pick tool . Rotate the image by dragging the rotation handle (the square connected by a line to the rotation pivot point). The cursor changes to two curved arrows when it is positioned over the rotation handle.

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.
