Straightening images
Rotate Using a Horizontal line
and
Rotate Using a Vertical line
are useful
when you have an image which is not quite straight. This is often the case with
scanned images.
To horizontally straighten an image:
1. Select
Rotate Using a Horizontal
line
under
Transform
on the
Attribute Toolbar
.
2. Drag a control point to one end of a
strong horizontal feature, such as the
edge of the image.
3. Drag the second control point to the
other end of the feature, carefully
aligning the control line along the
feature.
4. Double-click the image or any of the
control points to rotate.
Note:
You can also use
Adjust: Auto-
process - Straighten
to quickly
straighten an image.
3D transformation
PhotoImpact makes it easy to transform your images in three-dimensional space
via
Rotate in Virtual 3D
. This tool will be most useful when you want your
images to appear in a different plane or perspective while at the same time
retaining the proportions of the original image.
To perform a 3D transformation:
1. Select an image, 2D text or path
object. To rotate an image in 3D space,
convert it first into a path object.
Select the base image or create a
selection area, then select
Object:
Convert Object Type - From Text/
Image to Path
.
