  • DVDA – how to rotate an image? – possible?

    Posted by Gilles Gagnon on January 21, 2014 at 1:44 pm

    Hi gang,
    I’m creating a menu for a DVD. I inserted an image but now want to rotate it a bit, that is, put it on an slight angle.

    When I select the image, I see the handles for resizing and the surrounding box for repositioning but alas, I can’t seem to find a way to rotate it.

    Is this possible?

    Right Click on Graphic: “Open In Graphic Editor“. Rotate > Save > Close Graphic Editor.

    Thanks Graham,
    My editor comes up as Paint and I can only rotate by 90 degrees.
    Any ideas?

    Get yourself a Graphics package that will allow you to do a bit more than Paint – yes? I just did this in PSP3 – dead easy.

    Got it!
    I saw the association to any graphic editor in prefs-Video.

    I was really hoping for an in-DVDA solution, like grabbing a corner handle and rotating, like rotating a video in Vegas’ crop tool.

    Using an external graphic editor is OK but for fine tuning the angle, takes a few steps. I know, I know, I’m being particular 😉

    Gilles, I’m pretty sure you have Photoshop.
    Change the default in DVDA to that.
    This is found under Options – Preferences -Video

    Yes I do Mike… doing that right now.
    See my previous post though re: wishing for more direct approach. 🙂

    But… What Graham suggested will have to do.
    Thanks!

    Gilles, DVDA wrongly assumes that everything is ready when you launch it and that no more changes are going to be needed.
    Silly software 🙂

    He has PS!? – Then do what Mike says. I have mine set for PSP3 and now I have COREL X6 Ultimate that’ll be my next weapon of choice, it IS in Vegas Pro12.

    Grazie

    Thanks guys, that’s what I’ve done. Perhaps the next version of DVDA will offer built-in image/text rotation.
    Hmmmmm….
