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