Page 5. Adjust location.

Step 10. Adjust location.
 
A. Make sure the "lords 1" layer is not "editable" and the "coloring" layer is "editable".

 

Alt-drag the image to rotate it approximately 90 degrees clockwise until it looks like this:

 
The manual rotation was for practice.
Finalize your rotation by clicking on the location tab and copying and pasting, or typing in, the following Rotation Angle:
-178.4373

 

B. Shift-drag the image upward to magnify it a little, so that it looks like this:

 
The manual magnification was also for practice.
Finalize your magnification by clicking on the location tab and copying and pasting, or typing, in the following Magnification:
1.4815591

 

C. The image also needs to be panned to the left about 25% of the image width, which can be accomplished by Ctl-dragging it.

But instead, highlight and copy (Ctl-C) the block of text located here to the clipboard, then click on the Paste icon in the Location tab. This will paste the entire location I used into your "coloring" layer.

 

The "coloring" layer should now look like this:

 
This is the final "coloring" layer except for one more detail, which comes next.
