Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the select tool and ways to zoom, rotate, duplicate, and transform an image and a drawing.

First we will take a look at the select tool. As we have seen in previous tutorials, the select tool allows you to move objects. You can also use the select tool to freely rotate and resize items.

Zoom and Rotate

Zoom

Select an image from your camera roll. Drag the image to the wallpaper.
Select the select tool.
Zoom in by placing two fingers and moving them in a pinching motion. This allows you to zoom in as well as out.

Rotate

Next we will rotate the image.

Using 2 fingers, press and hold the image by the making a rotation motion.
You will see two additional rectangles. This shows you that you can start rotating your object.
You can resize it as well by pushing your fingers inward and outward, up or down.

Duplicate

In order to duplicate an image, press the duplicate icon.
This will create a copy of your image or drawing. The copied image will be automatically selected.

Transform

In this section, we will look at how to flip an image. This gives you the ability to flip an image in horizontally or vertically.

Select an image.
Press flip horizontal icon. This will flips the image horizontally.
Press flip vertical icon. This flips the image vertically.

 In this tutorial, we will explore the select tool and ways to zoom, rotate, duplicate, and transform an image and a drawing.
 First we will take a look at the select tool. As we have seen in previous tutorials, the select tool allows you to move objects. You can also use the select tool to freely rotate and resize items.

-If you want to take a closer look at your drawing, you can zoom in. This is done by placing two fingers and moving them in a pinching motion. This allows you to zoom in as well as out.

-Please note that if you pinch the image, you will resize it instead of the wallpaper.
+#Press flip vertical icon. [[File:Flip-vertical_app.png|50px]] This flips the image vertically.
-Zoom out so you can see the entire wallpaper.
-Now let's rotate the image. Using 2 fingers, press and hold the image by the making a rotation motion.
-You will see two additional rectangles. This shows you that you can start rotating your object.
-You can resize it as well by pushing your fingers inward and outward, up or down.
-Next let's take a look at the some tools under the select options panel.

-Under the select tool there are 5 icons that we will take a look at:
+If you wanted to select the entire object, long press and hold the select icon.
-*Flip horizontal

-First, we will look at how to flip an image.
+<<[[InGridApp/tutorial | Back to Tutorials ]]
+<br/>
-#Make sure your image is still selected.
+<<[[InGridApp | Back to App home ]]
-#Press flip horizontal icon. This will flips the image horizontally.
-#Press flip vertical icon. This flips the image vertically.
-#Next let's duplicate the image.
-#Press the duplicate icon.[[File:Example.jpg]] This will create another copy of your image.
-#The copied image will be automatically selected.
-#Move that image to the bottom right so we can see both images.
-Now we can move the images by organizing their layer positioning.
-With the second image still selected, press the send back button. As you can see, the selected image is now behind the first image. You can reverse this by pressing the bring forward icon which sends the first image to the back.
-Next we will explore how the select tool can be used with a drawing.
-Clear the images by selecting the new drawing icon.
-First draw an object by selecting the drawing options icon. This will automatically select the drawing tool. For this example, I will draw a tree. You can add color and change the stroke if you like. The object should be made with two or more separate objects.
-Select the select tool. Notice when I tap on individual parts of the tree, it selects it. You can move the parts around when they are selected. You can adjust the size as well as rotate.
-I am going to send the leaves forward so that they are in front of the tree trunk by pressing the bring forward icon.
-If you wanted to select the entire object, press and hold the select icon. You can adjust and manipulate all objects when they are selected like this.
-And that is how you use the select tool and other icons and movements to manipulate images and drawing using the Incredible InGrid app.
-Note:Many be video record the motions so the user can see the movements.
