Good point...

Not to be contrary, but:

What about when you are speaking in terms of computers, and specifically images? Seems like if the subject is "images on the computer", "rotation" falls more closely to "rotating on an axis" and not "changing of images".

For example, I was driving down the road the other day, and I saw temporary road construction sign that said "Road Const ahead". Now, my first thought was "Constant" as in C++. But, wait, this is not programing, this is driving, and they must mean "Construction".

As a graphic designer maybe I have some bias... I when I use Photoshop I do not think of Rotation as moving images from the front of the stack to the back of the stack (if I have a bunch open)... Rotation clearly means (in the PS world) rotating an image on an axis.

Now, in terms of a slide-show, rotation makes some sense, but IMHO I think word is improperly used.
