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 saving in a lossy format like JPEG.
Of course I couuld rotate/resize/crop the JPEG's and save them in a
lossless format like PNG...

| See if this makes sense. One of the options in Ember is to set the JPEG compression ratio. If you start with the JPEG image (suppose it's at 70%), then rotate it, then save it with a ratio of 100% (no compression), would that end up with a picture (...)

| (...) There is a program called jpegtran which will rotate JPEGs by any multiple of 90 degrees without decompressing the file, i.e. just by moving bits around in the jpg file. This means that there is _no_ loss in quality. But (there always is a (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.db.scans)
