### 7.46. Rotate 180°

The Rotate 180° command rotates the active layer by 180° around the center of the layer, with no loss of pixel data. The shape of the layer is not altered. Since the layers have a rectangular shape, a 180° rotation only invert them and they can't extend beyond the image limits.

#### 7.46.1. Activating the Command

- You can access this command from the image menubar through Layer → Transform → Rotate 180°.
