GIMP is *MASSIVELY* better in the case where you're straightening things based on a mixture of horizontal and vertical elements in the picture and not just playing with snapshots of the beach </tease> An alternative might be to allow the placement of angled guides and have a "rotate image to make this guide vertical/horizontal" option. For me, one reason I wanted the enhancement (included in gimp 2.8) to the undo history to say, rotate by 4.15 degrees, is that if that's too much I can undo and try again with 4.07 degrees. I do that a lot and used to write down the numbers each time I used "rotate". (A "flatten image after rotate" or, "layer to imagesize afterwards" would save time too) Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
