: GIMP: how to rotate a picture from its end Hello I want to rotate a picture in gimp but I want the axis to be at the end of the picture. Kind of like a picture being a knife in a folding

To rotate an object in Gimp (here 2.8.) using the rotate tool we have to add it as a "Floating Selection", or we make any selection (which can also be the whole image) float with Select > Float (or Shift+Ctrl+L).

We can then move the center of rotation by dragging it with the mouse to the desired postition, or by giving the exact coordinates relative to the canvas in the Rotate dialog (per default or on pressing Reset this will be the center of the object):
