Rotating cards

Is there a way to rotate the view of cards?  We're using Fortune cards, but the text flows along with long side, so its hard to read when it's verticle.

While the card is on the table you can rotate it by clicking on it and grabbing the top little box and moving it in the direction you want it rotated. - Gauss
Nice! Thanks.  So before you draw a card, a player would want to read it, so is there a way to make it bigger and rotate it without revealing it to all the other players?

In a player's hand he can click on it and itll zoom bigger. Only he sees it at that point but itll be the normal orientation. You might want to try rotating the card in an art program and saving it that way before uploading it to Roll20.  - Gauss
A related question, if you don't mind me asking: Is there a way to work rotation into drawing, so that you might draw a card in a reversed position? This would probably mostly be an issue for tarot cards, but it would be a nice feature to have.

There is currently no way to draw it like that. My suggestion, combine drawing it with a d2 for orientation. 1 = normal facing (or top on left side for rotated cards) and 2 = upside down (or top on right side for rotated cards).  - Gauss
