Hmm... the 45 degree angle part is simple enough, if that is what you really mean. However, when you start talking about a "book" at a 45 degree angle, it sounds maybe like what you want is to make it look as if it is being "viewed" from a 45 degree angle? ... not just rotated? ... with some sort of 3d look to it? If that is the case, you might want filters>map>map object and map the thing to a box, then modify the settings so that you have a tall, thin box, standing on end with the picture on one face of it, sort of like a software box for a software ad.
...is that correct? ...something like this? http://tutorialblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/final1.jpg --- On Thu, 2/3/11, . <pe...@aleksandrsolzhenitsyn.net> wrote: > From: . <pe...@aleksandrsolzhenitsyn.net> > Subject: [Gimp-user] Rotate a picture? > To: gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU > Date: Thursday, February 3, 2011, 9:09 PM > I'd like to orient a picture of a > book so that it's on a 45 degree > angle and then "cut out" the area around the "book" to that > when you > view the picture is looks like a book on a 45 degree > angle with no area > around it.
