b) ROTATE AND SCALE IMAGES/QUALITY ISSUEAt least partly wrong! It's possible to rotate (in 90 dgree steps) JPEG files without doing a decompress/recompress (which loses quality) - it can be effected by rearranging the compressed JPEG data. It's also possible to crop on block boundaries in a similar way. GraphicConverter will do lossless rotation - Photoshop won't. If you have a search on google you might find some C source for doing this, though that probably wouldn't help you in Rev...
Using ImageReady and PhotoShop as background slave processors for scaling down and rotation is pretty powerful. In terms of the quality of the final output, my assumption is that this is probably the best way to go and that to build those operations natively into the interface would be doable--using angle, then export image etc.-- and perhaps save the time required for launching, but then the quality would simply not be there. Right or wrong?
