Layers

Move, resize and rotate

The Move tool

With the Move tool (V), the layer you’ll move is framed, with handles around its pixels.

A selection with the Move tool: a dashed frame with handles on its corners and sides, and its size under it, 49 × 37. A selection with the Move tool: a dashed frame with handles on its corners and sides, and its size under it, 49 × 37.
  • Click a pixel to grab its layer, and drag. Hold Ctrl to move the active layer wherever you click.
  • Arrow keys nudge it by 1 pixel, with Shift by 8.
  • Click an empty spot, or press Escape, to let go of the frame.
  • A layer dragged out of every board stays there, beside them: see Boards.

Resize and rotate

  • Drag a corner or a side of the frame to resize, with sharp pixels. Shift keeps the proportions, Alt resizes from the center.
  • Just outside a corner, the cursor turns: drag to rotate.
  • Several selected layers resize and turn together, as one.

Flip, turn, align

In the Image menu, for the selection or the layer:

  • Flip horizontally (Shift+H) and vertically (Shift+V).
  • Rotate 90° clockwise (Shift+R) or counterclockwise (Alt+Shift+R).
  • Align what’s drawn to the board: left, center, right, top, middle or bottom (Alt+A, H, D, W, V, S).
