 Hi all,
 
 Thanks for all your help and replies.
 
 I downloaded TuxPaint and gave it a try. The interface is
 straightforward but the process of getting JPEG's from the digital
 camera we're selling into PNG format and then into the proper folder in
 order to open the files seems like a lot of work. (We're using Windows).

It is too bad folder actions aren't a part of Windows, it would turn
things into a 5 minutes task to get automated conversion / file moving
working from then on.

I wouldn't give up on TuxPain so quickly, they've done the hard part
for you already (making an interface a developmentally delayed
3-year-old can use (speaking from personal experience)).  The
conversion/moving is the easy bit.

 This would be much faster comparing to showing the grid and checking 
 if the grid matches the lines on the image. I am of course wishing for 
 adding another way to do rotation, not to replace any of the method.

I've always just used the measure tool to tell me what the angle is
and rotate by that angle.  I'm sure your suggestion would make it
faster, but not by much.
