(Drifting off topic)
You can download Lview for free, which in my experience is a better and
easier image editor than ACDSee. Paint Shop Pro has a 30 day evaluation, and
is even better (more complex but does more). Lview is probably the quickest
to download of those three. I don't know if Lview has rotate all, though,
but if you have to do custom cropping, that function won't save you much
time, either. Maybe someone should suggest that rotate all function to
Kevin, though I thought it was in his upload instructions to properly
orientated the scans before uploading. But beggars can't be choosers, eh.
