Rotating whole image 18 degrees.

I am building some animation frames and have a need to rotate an image for degrees other than 90, 180, 270. All I can find to do is to use the transform tools->rotate. However, this only works on the top layer. I really hate having to apply the same procedure to each layer in turn. Is there a trick that will enable me to do this?

To Mr. Wagner: Rotating and Repositioning multiple layers

Hi there!

Fortunately there is an easy way to accomplish both things you asked help for, and more over: they are the same way.

GIMP has a mechanism of "linking layers". Just open the layers dialog, and click on the empty space to the right of the "eye" visibility icon and to the left of the layers name.

An icon will show up (a pointed cross for gimp 1.2 and a chain for gimp 1.3).

Select as many layers as you desire this way. These layers are linked, and transformations will affect all linked layers at any given moment.

So, if you are going to rotate all layers, just link all layers together, and proceed to transform->rotate.

Regards, JS
