I was thinking about this just now, and i thought it might be cool and useful, especially for people that like to spend a lot of time creating elaborate scenes like me!
We have a layering and flipping left to right options for items while dressing up a pet. I would love to see a scaling and rotation tool for the items as well! Some items are comically oversized (like this easter's bug friends!) or are a good size as a foreground piece, but could also look likely as background pieces in scenes if they could only be made smaller. The tool would go along with the same buttons to flip or shift the layer an item is displayed on and would function similarly to how the same functions work in things like photoshop or similar, where you can grab each corner in a box around the object to scale it, or rotate it on a central point.

100% support; creating dress-ups is one of my favourite things about CS so anything that makes it easier/allows for more options would be a win in my book.
I don’t know much about coding/website design so I can’t speak to how easy it would be implement something like this, but if it’s not that much more complicated than the flip option I’d like to see it happen.

im by no means a coding expert, but if the items are all transparent pngs (which they seem to be) it wouldnt be terribly labor intensive or weigh heavily on the servers to impliment!

While we can already flip items horizontally, Lacuna has explained
here why rotating/resizing wouldn't be possible:
Lacuna wrote:Hey, just wanted to throw out there that while flipping items vertically as well as horizontally would be awesome and I totally support it, resizing and rotating items would not work. They are not vector (scalable) files, just transparent PNG files that are tied to the pixel grid that governs all computer screens basically. There is no higher res version; what you see is what you get. So, if you tried to resize or rotate them to an angle other than a multiple of 90 degrees (which is flipping vertically/horizontally/both) they would get fuzzy/blurry.
