  161.           The Transform Direction sets which way or direction a layeris
  162.           rotated. The Traditional mode will rotate the layer as one
  163.           might
  164.           expect. If a layer is rotated 10 degrees to the right, then
  165.           the layer
  166.           will be rendered as such. This behaviour is contrary to
  167.           Corrective
  168.           rotation.
  169.         </p>
  170.               <p>
  171.           Corrective Scaling is primarily used to repair scanned
  172.           images that
  173.           are not straight. If the image is 13 degrees askew then you
  174.           need not
  175.           try to rotate by that angle. By using Corrective Skalierung you
  176.           can
  177.           rotate visually and line up the layer with the image. Because
  178.           the
  179.           transformation is reversed, or performed backwards, the image
  180.           will be
  181.           rotated with sufficient angle to correct the error.
