- <title>To Rotate Images Without Loss of Quality</title>
- <para>
- Usually if you want to rotate an image you have to open the image with
- an editor, rotate the image, and then save it. This works well for
- image formats such as PNG or GIF, but results in a loss of
- quality for JPEG images. (The rotation functions in
- <menuchoice><guimenu>Image</guimenu><guimenuitem>Transform</guimenuitem>
- </menuchoice> operate this way - with loss.)
- </para>
- <para>
- If you want to rotate JPEG images without losing image quality,
- select the images you want to rotate and choose
- <menuchoice><guimenu>Tools</guimenu><guimenuitem>Rotate
- Images</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. &app; displays the
- <guilabel>Rotate Images</guilabel> dialog.
- </para>
- <para>
- Click on <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> to apply the changes.
- The files are automatically saved after clicking <guibutton>Apply</guibutton>.
- </para>
- <para>
- If you check the <guilabel>Apply to all images</guilabel>
- option, the rotation is applied to the
- currently displayed image as well as to all the remaining
- images you have selected;
- otherwise, once the rotation has been performed on the current
- image, the next image in the selection is displayed, and you can
- choose another type of rotation.
- <note>
- <title>NOTE</title>
- <para>
- If the selection contains some non-JPEG images, they are
- rotated as well. (Not all file formats are supported, however.)
- </para>
- </note>
- </para>
- <para>
- In general, there are two ways to rotate a JPEG image. The first way
- is to re-arrange the pixels inside the image file, using a "physical"
- transform. The second way is to leave the image data alone, and simply
- change the value of the Exif orientation tag inside the header of the JPEG file.
- Not all JPEG files have Exif tags however, and not all applications
- support them. If your image does not have Exif tags, the pixels will
- be re-arranged inside the image file automatically, since that is the only
- possible method.
- </para>
- <para>
- If your image has an Exif orientation tag, and the <guilabel>Apply physical transform</guilabel>
- checkbox is enabled, the physical transform will be used to re-arrange the image
- data, and the Exif orientation tag will be reset to its default value
- of "top left".
- </para>
- <para>
- If your image has an Exif orientation tag, and the <guilabel>Apply physical transform</guilabel>
- checkbox is not enabled, then only the orientation tag will be changed. The
- raw image data itself will not be transformed.
- <note>
- <title>NOTE</title>
- <para>
- For maximum compatibility with other applications, it is recommended that
- the <guilabel>Apply physical transform</guilabel> checkbox normally be enabled
- in both the rotation and import dialogs.
- </para>
- </note>
- </para>
- <para>The physical transform of pixel data inside the JPEG file will not
- degrade image quality (that is, it is lossless) under most conditions.
- However, if the image dimensions (height and width) are not both multiples
- of 8, some data corruption will occur along one or two of the edges of the
- image. If there is an Exif orientation tag, you can avoid this problem
- by disabling the <guilabel>Apply physical transform</guilabel> checkbox.
- If you must use the physical transform approach with
- images whose dimensions are not multiples of 8, &app; will allow you to
- proceed despite possible image distortion, but it will also ask if you
- would like to trim the image slightly (by up to 7 columns and/or rows
- of pixels) to remove the problem areas.
