Dear Shangara As far as I can remember(back in the days of PS5), you can consider Adobe Illustrator to run a really lossles rotation to image files, and the suggestions was to open files in AI, run the rotations and then move on to PS. Other " pixel crunching" operations like the Transform operations can be equally run in Illustrator without loss of quality. I have to mention that loss of quality in this scenario means a "softening" ,some loss of sharpness of the pixels induced by this sort of processing. I can't tell anything about damage in pixel content and color. > To degrade an image, the change must be noticeable and for the worse. I see > no such thing happening if I rotate a JPEG in Photoshop.

Perhaps the newer versions of PS have already solved this riddle and your testing is showing exactly what is happening. But it may be still worth it to try the thing in AI one more time. PS:Appologies for the mess with my recent posts with a date of year 2005. It is now back to normal. All the best.
