You can also paste an object into an image in edit mode. The object pastes into the image as a
floating selection.
For more information on image selections, see "Working with image selections" on page 493.
To put a floating image selection in freeform mode:
While a floating image selection is active, choose Effects | Freeform. Handles appear on the
corners and sides of the floating selection.
To move a selection in freeform mode:
Place the pointer inside of the selection. The pointer becomes an arrow head. Drag to move an
outline of the selection.
Rotating selections in freeform mode
In freeform mode, while the pointer is outside of the selection, the pointer is a curved line with an
arrow at both ends. This is the rotation pointer.
Drag around the selection in the direction you want it to rotate. An outline of the selection rotates as
you drag.
Press the Shift key to constrain the rotation to 15° increments.
