Flipping and rotating bitmaps

Although the Selector Tool can rotate and flip objects (see Flipping objects and Rotating objects), you can also create new bitmaps with a rotated or flipped image. You can flip the bitmap horizontally or vertically or rotate it by any multiple of ninety degrees.

To rotate or flip a bitmap

1. Select the bitmap (see Selecting objects).

2. From Bitmap Effects & Plug-ins on the Utilities menu, choose Bitmap Effects.

3. Choose Flip & Rotate.

4. Select the option you want.

5. Click OK to insert the new, altered bitmap into the document.

Tips:

You can also select a bitmap in the Bitmap Gallery and then click the Plug-ins button on the Gallery.
