	Tips Rotating and Flipping the Canvas Entire images can now be easily rotated or flipped directly in Corel® Painter IX™ by rotating or flipping the Canvas layer. When you rotate or flip the Canvas layer, all other layers move along with it. You can rotate the Canvas layer by a predefined amount, or you can choose the amount of rotation. If your document has layers of different varieties, you are prompted to commit all of them to default, pixel-based layers. The Canvas layer increases in size when necessary, so rotating or flipping it does not cause the contents of other layers to be cropped. To rotate the Canvas layer by a predefined amount 1. Choose Canvas menu > Rotate Canvas. 2. Choose one of the following: 180 to rotate 180 degrees 90 CW to rotate 90 degrees clockwise 90 CCW to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise To rotate the Canvas layer by a user-defined amount 1. Choose Canvas menu > Rotate Canvas > Arbitrary. 2. In the Rotate Selection dialog box, type the number of degrees of rotation you want in the Amount box.
