## Frequently asked questions

### Why fix orientation before deciding on crop bounds?

A wrong rotation or mirror state changes how you judge headroom, reading direction, and where important details sit inside the frame.

### When is padding better than cropping?

Padding is safer when the full subject must remain visible or when the target aspect ratio would otherwise cut through important edges.

### What is the practical difference between affine and perspective correction?

Affine edits handle skew, scale, and parallel-line changes, while perspective correction is better when the plane appears to recede toward vanishing points.

### What should I inspect after scaling transparent artwork?

Check for halos, semi-transparent fringe, softened corners, and background bleed that may only appear after resampling.
