I had scanned a bunch of small odd shapped images and most of them I couldn't get rotated exactly right. I had to use photoshop and they have a feature where I can draw a straight line, and say to rotate the image to that line. It was called Rotate to Arbitrary. I see a similiar feature in Gimp where I can rotate the image, but I can't have it rotate to a line. The reason this is helpful is because I can choose a line of text or a border edge because I wasn't able to straighten out the images just by eyeballing them. I was within one degree, but that wasn't good enough for because over 12 inches, you can see that the text is a little crooked. rotating the image -1 degree the other way over corrects the image in the opposite direction, so it is best if the computer can rotate it. How can I request this feature to be added. It seems very useful for images that aren't straight and allows people to just arbitrarily throw images on the scanner, and then orient them up perfectly..
