Yankee Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm trying to rotate an image. Rotating is not the problem, it's just that when I rotate the image the area box around the image itself remains the same size. I'd like to open the area in which the image is in so that when I'm ready to save the image after rotating that the area box is open enough to save the entire image. Hope that makes sense?

Rick Brewster Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Image -> Canvas Size. Make it 25% bigger or whatever ends up working. Set the Anchor to the middle. Then, rotate your image as you see fit. Last, crop the image to the smallest rectangular area that encompasses the entire image.

Yankee Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Oops... one thing though... after doing that... there is now a white lined box that goes over the grids... when saving it brings out a white box and does not make transparent. What did I do wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattBlackLamb Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Make sure your secondary colour is set to transparant. To do that click the more button on the colour window & look near the bottom at the slider that says Alpha - Transparency (or something similar) then resize your image. This should create a transparent area around your original picture Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times better than you can imagine. These men are called musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
