Flipping and rotating bitmaps
Although the Selector Tool can rotate and flip objects (see Flipping objects and Rotating objects), you can also create new bitmaps with a rotated or flipped image. You can flip the bitmap horizontally or vertically or rotate it by any multiple of ninety degrees.
To rotate or flip a bitmap
1. Select the bitmap (see Selecting objects).
2. From Bitmap Effects & Plug-ins on the Utilities menu, choose Bitmap Effects.
3. Choose Flip & Rotate.
4. Select the option you want.
5. Click OK to insert the new, altered bitmap into the document.
Tips:
You can also select a bitmap in the Bitmap Gallery and then click the Plug-ins button on the Gallery.
