Dova Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Unsure if this is the best place to post this, but I was wondering if someone could, or tell me how I could, find the point on the image, where, if it rotates on that point, it doesn't wobble around, for want of a better word. Like, the best way to find the center of the image as a whole. [spoiler=Image is Here] I thought it would be simple, but apparently it's harder than it looks.

·Toot Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm having a hard time following you honestly. If you're looking for the center of the image, why not try putting a grid over it? NINJA'D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dova Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Okay, not exactly what I meant. What I have an image which, when it rotates, it wobbles because although it rotates around the center of the image as a whole, the center of the image is not the center of the picture in the image. I was wondering how to obtain that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sander Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Oh. Yeah, you just need to get the X/Y coords to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dova Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Trying to get a recording working, but in the mean time let me try again. The face is unevenly placed in the image: Is there a way to make the center of the canvas the center of the face easily? EDIT: Yeah, but I dunno how to resize the canvas in the exact way.

Sander Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Get the move tool (for PS), move the centre dot indicator until the numbers that show up match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dova Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Well, I don't have Photoshop. I have paint.net, cri. [spoiler=Anyhow, this] So, I want to edit it in such a way that when it rotates, it stays stable. I've tried exacting it in every side, but it still does that.

·Toot Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Ooooh.... Okay... Only 2 thing that makes sense to me is to either reduce the canvas size around it and get rid of the white BG altogether or rotate it like that and move it back into place manually.

Dova Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Should probably be in tutorials at this point... How does one do that in Paint.net? Whenever I try using the Selection tool I'm a few pixels off (cri when i actually care about that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dova Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 With Paint.net? How'd you do it? Well, the problem wasn't finding the center of the image, as I thought, but finding the center of the circle in the image. I just used the circle select tool to select the circle without the sticking out parts, and then recenter the image to the center of that, which made it rotate smoothly.
