| Rotate and Flip a Picture Sometimes you may
need rotate an image so it appears upright.
For example if you took a picture by turning the camera 90 degrees,
you will need to rotate to it an upright position.
| This images needs to be rotated to
the left for proper orientation.
|
This images needs to be rotated to the right for proper orientation. 
|
The result is an image that is upright.
In other instances you may want to completely flip an
image. There are two ways to flip and image, horizontally or
vertically.
A horizontal flip basically make what was originally the right edge
the left edge and visa-versa. If you look carefully at the image
below you will see that the printing is backwards. This could also
be called a mirror image of the original image.
A vertical flip exchanges the bottom of the image for the top.
Because it is flipping the image rather than rotating, the printing
is backwards. Again this is like a mirror image.
