<title>Rotate pictures</title>

<p>If your pictures are the wrong way up, you can
rotate them so that they look right.</p>

<section id="rotate">
<title>Rotate a picture</title>
<steps>
 <item><p>Move the mouse pointer over the image. Two buttons with arrow will appear at the bottom.</p></item>
 <item><p>Select either <gui>Rotate the image 90 degrees to the left</gui> or <gui>Rotate
the image 90 degrees to the right</gui>.</p></item>
 <item>
  <p>If you want to keep the picture rotated in this way, click <gui style="menuitem">Save</gui>.</p>
  <p>Otherwise, don't save the picture and it will be returned to its original orientation the next time you open it.</p>
 </item>
</steps>

<p>You can also use the keyboard shortcuts:</p>

<table>
  <tr>
    <td><p>Rotate Clockwise</p></td>
    <td><p><keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>R</key></keyseq></p></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><p>Rotate Counter-clockwise</p></td>
    <td><p><keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Shift</key><key>R</key></keyseq></p></td>
  </tr>
</table>

</section>
