That sounds like a good idea BUT, When you start with a JPEG, do something (even lossless rotation), and recompress as JPEG you exaggerate the JPEG artifacts. This is why it's important for the original scanner to rotate/crop/size the images BEFORE (...) (27 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.db.scans)
