You can set layer mask scaling as a ratio (%) of the original image. Ratios can be set separately for width and height.
(4) Keep aspect ratio
When this is on, the layer mask will be scaled with its original aspect ratio.
(5) Rotation angle
You can set the rotation angle of the layer mask from a horizontal position.
(6) Center of rotation
You can set the center of rotation.
The reference position is the center of rotation of the frame before being scaled or moved.
The coordinates for the center of rotation are measured in pixels from the top left of the canvas. The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal value, while the y-coordinate indicates the vertical value.
