I need an image program which can rotate images by fractions of a degree.

Hi. I need an image program which can rotate images by fractions of a degree (0.5 or less). It'll have to be freeware or shareware, with no restrictions on image quality settings when saving...any suggestions? It doesn't have to be clever or efficient, so long as the processed image looks good and works.

Thanks
Dan

You could try downloading the trial version of Paint Shop Pro. The full version can rotate from 0.01 degrees upwards, the trial version should have this facillity.

but be ready to use it, usually a time limited demo...heh

I've done it many times, admttedly not to that accuracy, but it's very handy for straightening pictures and scans that are not quite horizontal.

when you scan a photo , you want to make sure it is level...

The best free image editor that I know of is Faststone which is enormously flexible and does practically everything within the realms of basic image editing and conversion. Only rotates a single degree at a time though.

It also has a Straighten tool and Perspective Correction tool which makes things even easier again.
I used to rotate some of my pictures by fractions when I used Paint Shop Pro 7 but now that I've updated to Paint Shop Pro X, I only ever use the Straighten tool.
