    photocarve help

    I just bought photocarve and have cncwrapper....have seen some guy on youtube doing lithophanes on plastic pipe...have had a go using artcam...not bad but thought the proper photo softarware would give better results...anyway...problem is that I want the y axis to be the a axis and the x to travel left and right thus carving the pic into the plastic pipe...only that in artcam you can rotate the pic to suit this but not in photcarve,...does anyone know how I can do this....as the pic would be at 90' and not level

    Get some free photo editing software and rotate the picture first.
