I prefer the grid that iPhoto superimposes on the image.

I *think* that a lossless rotation of 90 degrees is accomplished by
reordering the matrix containing the blocks of pixel values (from rows
to columns, etc.). If that's true, it's obvious that it won't work for
arbitrary angles.

who says it cant crop? Just select the bit you want, choose copy, then
new from clipboard and the cropped bit you want is there for the saving

Well you do have to choose 'copy' and then new from the clipboard to get
a nice new page with the bits you want that you can then save

"Have to"? Erik would "have to" to get around his problem if he chooses
not to fix it or is unable to do so. The rest of us can simply Save or
Save As, since the question isn't whether that works but why it does not
work specifically for him.
