fixes for contrast, color correction, and more. You can run these one at a time by choosing

Don??™t apply rotation on top of rotation, or the image quality will suffer. Undo the first
rotation to get back where you started, and then apply a different rotation angle to get
where you??™re going all at once. Any rotation effect will degrade the image slightly, but
compounding rotation on top of rotation can wreck the image fairly quickly.
When you??™re done rotating your image, be sure to crop it down a bit because the rotation
probably introduced some unwanted background color in the corners of your picture.
