To rotate an image or canvas in the standard Windows Paint application, you need to select the image or part of it, and then rotate it. Here's how:
- Select the Image/Area: Use the "Select" tool (rectangular or free-form) to choose the portion of the image you want to rotate. If you want to rotate the entire canvas, select the entire image.
- Rotate:
- In most versions of Paint, after selecting the area, right-click within the selection. A menu will appear with a "Rotate" option.
- Alternatively, look for a "Rotate" option within the "Image" section on the ribbon at the top of the Paint window.
- Choose Rotation Angle: You'll typically have options to rotate by 90 degrees right, 90 degrees left, 180 degrees, or to flip horizontally or vertically. Choose the option that suits your needs.
Keep in mind that Paint is a basic image editor. More advanced image editors like Paint.NET (as suggested by the YouTube video title fragment) offer more sophisticated rotation features, including the ability to rotate by arbitrary angles.
