Manipulating Images 99
To crop the image to the selection:
• Choose Crop to Selection from the Image menu.
If the selection region is non-rectangular, the left-over surrounding region will
be either transparent (on a standard layer) or the current background color (e.g.,
white).
Cropping to the selection affects all image layers. Everything outside
the selected region is eliminated.
Flipping and rotating
Flipping and rotating are standard manipulations that you can carry out on the
whole image, the active layer, or just on a selection. Flips are used to change the
direction of a subject's gaze, fix composition, and so on, whereas rotation is an
orientation tool for general purpose use.
