More Information
- If you selected a single image in the Carousel, you can pan and zoom within the extent of the image while in Rotate Image mode.
- Annotations are available in Rotate Image mode. You can add annotations when rotating an image in the same way as you would to an image in the regular viewport. If you take a snapshot of an image that has had annotations added to it, the annotations are preserved. See Taking a Snapshot.
