Rotating, flipping, tilting and spinning

Rotating & Spinning
To rotate a frame, first, select it, then move the cursor over the RotateHandlerotate handle for that frame.
Press and hold the left mouse button. Drag the mouse. The frame will rotate as you move the mouse.
When you are satisfied, release the left mouse button. You can press the 'esc' key to abort the drag if necessary.

This control can also be accessed via the Frame Editor under the Position & Size options.

To spin the image WITHIN the frame, to correct for a crooked camera angle or for an effect, hold the Ctrl-key on the keyboard while moving your mouse on the rotate handle of the selected frame(s). This control is also accessible in the Image Editor under Angle.

Tilting
Images can be rotated within their frame. You can use this feature to correct for cameras that were not perfectly level when the picture was taken or to create a fun effect.

Select the frame holding the image that needs to be corrected. Either hold the Control key on the keyboard while rotating the frame's rotation handle, OR click on the 'Image' part of the Frame Toolbox to launch the Image Editor, then change the value for the ANGLE parameter. You can press the 'esc' key to abort the drag if necessary.
