PM5 image rotation (any angle)

[oryk]

Hello,

1) I want to rotate an image (any angle), but why I have to crop it before ?

2) To rotate an image the border to work with the arrow-headed circle is to small.

Oryk,

1) I want to rotate an image (any angle), but why I have to crop it before ?

Because arbitrary angle rotation without a crop would access pixels outside the image and would require generating the non-existent pixels (apps that do offer such a feature usually fill with black or let you choose a color.)

We do not offer such a feature and do not plan to implement arbitrary rotation without a crop first being applied.

2) To rotate an image the border to work with the arrow-headed circle is to small.

You can also move your cursor inside the crop area near a corner to perform rotation.

1) Adobe Lightroom has a very workable solution (no generating any pixel).

2) The boarder to rotate an image should be wider. (It's a fiddling on a 13" laptop).

Did you try my suggestion?  Try the area inside the crop near the corner area of the crop?

Yes, but it does not help really.

Oryk,

I looked at the code.  The sizing box size is only six pixels on a side.  The rotation box is 24 pixels on a side.  How large would you like it to be?  Would it be better if the rotation hit box were actually drawn like the sizing ones are?

Kirk,

I suggest to restrict the rotation box to the background zone of the image.
