If you need to rotate by an arbitrary angle, move the cursor to one of the control knots on the frame. The cursor changes to a semicircular arrow. Move the mouse so that the drawing begins to rotate. When you are satisfied with the result, press Enter.

In the next section of the drop-down menu, there are two commands: Flip Vertical and Flip Horizontal. After applying them, the picture will look like its own mirror image about the vertical or horizontal axis.
Step 5
The Perspective command allows you to simulate a distance view. Select this option, hook the lower corner control knot with the mouse and drag - the drawing will unfold horizontally.
Step 6
To rotate the entire image, choose the Rotate Canvas option from the Image menu. In the drop-down list, check either fixed rotation angle or free rotation (Arbitrary).
