  150.           The Transform Direction sets which way or direction a layer is
  151.           rotated. The Traditional mode will rotate the layer as one might
  152.           expect. If a layer is rotated 10 degrees to the right, then the layer
  153.           will be rendered as such. This behaviour is contrary to Corrective
  154.           rotation.
  155.         </p>
  156.               <p>
  157.           Corrective Rotation is primarily used to repair scanned images that
  158.           are not straight. If the image is 13 degrees askew then you need not
  159.           try to rotate by that angle. By using Corrective Rotation you can
  160.           rotate visually and line up the layer with the image. Because the
  161.           transformation is reversed, or performed backwards, the image will be
  162.           rotated with sufficient angle to correct the error.
