<steps>
 <item><p>Click <gui>Edit</gui>.</p></item>
 <item><p>Select either <gui>Flip Horizontal</gui> or <gui>Flip Vertical</gui>.</p></item>
 <item>
  <p>If you want to keep the picture flipped in this way, click <guiseq><gui>Image</gui><gui>Save</gui></guiseq>.</p>
  <p>Otherwise, don't save the picture and it will be returned to its original orientation the next time you open it.</p>

</steps>
</section>

<section id="rotate">
<title>Rotate a picture</title>
<steps>
 <item><p>Click <gui>Edit</gui>.</p></item>
