Ellie The degradation (visible, noticeable, measurable or otherwise) is not in the rotation itself. Its in the "save" process that needs to be done after the rotation. As Tiff & PSD are not lossy, when saving, there is no loss or degrading of any sort. Rotate away, happily :-) Its the fact that with a JPG, the process will always remove a little bit of quality, when you save, that is the concern. Shangara is arguing the point that this loss is minute, and therefore unimportant. I would agree. If you want to rotate in JPG format you will never notice the difference (I've not tested it, but I believe his findings). However, if there is another option, where the rotation is totally lossless, my personal view would be, that it makes sense to use that option.
