20    You can rotate the image 90° clockwise or counter-clockwise, or rotate
21    it 180°, by using the rotation commands on the
22    <guimenuitem>Transform</guimenuitem> submenu of the
23    <guimenu>Image</guimenu> menu. These commands can be used to change
24    between Portrait and Landscape orientation. They work on the
25    whole image. If you want to rotate the image at a different angle,
26    rotate a selection or rotate a layer, use the
27    <link linkend="gimp-tool-rotate">Rotate Tool</link>. You can also
28    rotate a layer by using the
29    <link linkend="gimp-layer-transform-menu">Layer Transform</link> menu.
