Photoedit Software

Tootsall · 08-17-2006, 07:41 PM

Anybody recommend some freeware/shareware that will allow me to "rotate" a photo about (I'm guessing) 4-6 degrees? The rock I set the camera on wasn't perfectly horizontal and I need to fix the pic up. Can afford to crop after the rotate to clean up the edges.

Tks.

If you have a printer, chances are you already have a rudimentary photo editor of some sort, basic, but it should do the trick. Printers usually come with some sort of photo editor. For turning a photo should be no problem. Or, if you have Microsoft Word, chances are there is a basic photo editor bundled with that. You may have to look for it though.

Have done but it only rotates in 90 degree increments. Also, printer software doesn't generally allow you to resave the photo as a .jpg (which is what I really want to do). Thanks for the advice though.. appreciated.

Anyone else?

Isn't there a free rotate in the menu somewhere?

Send me the picture and I'll fix it for you and then send it back.

I don't know of any free software that will do fine rotations. If I see one I'll let you know.

Note: Paint.NET is the best free image editting software I know of - it rivals commercial packages.

Ed, I use a program called Compupic from Photodex. You can try a full eval before you buy and it has a rotate any angle feature.

Thanks, Bill. I'll give that a shot.

The software Bill recommended works well at straightening out a picture (and a lot of other stuff as well). Dave did a really nice job with whatever software he uses as well. So the photo is fixed and reentered into the Photobucket show now too.

Thanks, guys.
