Rotated picture in an unrotated box
If you want to move a picture box or see what its crop looks like without the
transparent overlay, press the Command/Ctrl key. This temporarily dismisses the
overlay and allows you to interact with the box as if the Item tool were selected.
If you click and drag with the Picture Content tool when the mouse pointer is 
positioned over a spot where a picture box handle and picture content handle
overlap, only the picture is resized or rotated. If you want to move the item handle,
select the Item tool.

definitions.
Point: A point connects line segments and defines where line segments start and
end. Points connecting curved line segments have curve handles that control the
shape of the curves. QuarkXPress offers three types of points: Corner, smooth, and
symmetrical.
Corner point: A corner point connects two straight lines, a straight line and a curved
line, or two noncontinuous curved lines. With curved lines, the corner point’s curve
handles can be manipulated independently, usually to form a sharp transition
between the two segments:
