two problems
thedarkman
I need to find a free program which can rotate jpgs slightly. I tried
Photoeditor but this will only rotate by 90% increments. Can anyone
point me in the direction of one?
Also, I posted this below sometime ago.
I have a serious problem regarding jpgs. I noticed some time ago that
a lot of mine, which are mostly of people and buildings, etc, have
become corrupted. I am using a fairly old computer with Windows
2000;
last year I was using an older one but upgraded of sorts.
A lot of the files don't read at all, but some have become mixed up,
ie a jpg that is meant to be of a tree will be of something entirely
different.
I've had file corruption before, years ago, but that was with
WordStar
files, and the problem was floppy disks. A lot of these files have
been burned to CD; I'm not sure about the others.
I thought one cause could be that I have a lot of files in the
directories, some I have five thousand or more, but this really
shouldn't be a problem,
Can anyone identify the problem, and more to the point tell me how to
stop it in future, and how if possible to recover the lost files?
Thanks

Google for Irfanview...it's free and will rotate your phots as well as 1000
other things.
Don't forget to send him a few $$ if you like it

Try http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm
It's free for home users.

Irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com will rotate jpegs and
other formats in almost any step size you choose, down to 0.01
degree. There are separate menu items for rotating in steps of 90
degrees (often very useful).
Could be a virus or a problem with the hard disk. I suggest you
run a surface scan of your hard disk.
PC Inspector at http://www.pcinspector.de is a good free data
recovery program.

The GIMP, which is popular for linux, also comes in a windows version
which presumably does the same things as the linux gimp. Gimp can rotate
any increment, and will do so dynamically -- you can see/ watch/ the image
rotate.
IrfanView just rotates images in 90 degree increments.
You are accessing a usenet group with GG googlegroups. That isn't a good
way to read and post to usenet. There are plenty of free newsagents and
newsservers. OE and Tbird are popular agents for windows.

360 degrees. I don't remember about the early versions, but it's
had this function for quite some time.

Oops. I overlooked the adjustable fine rotation function in Image
Effects. It will rotate by any amount.

That could be windows choking on too many pics in a folder, messing up
the thumbnails.

Irfanview is a bit clumsy when it comes to straightening images. You
may like Picasa much better. It throws a grid over your image and a
slider control allows you to easily straighten the image by aligning it
with the grid.

Entirely possible. Jpegs use "lossy" compression which means each time you
expand it to view it and then save it, you loose information. The Best
option for compression without loss is to use GIF89a files instead of
jpegs. The difference in storage size is marginal considering the data
loss circumvented.

Unless you have to *original* files that haven't been overwritten, they're
gone forever I'm afraid. The modify date would help you there.

Try the Gimp - they do a version for windows and I believe it is the same
as the linux version.

That's why I use Photoline. It's the only non-destructive jpg editor made.
You can open, resave, open that new one, resave again 100 times and it
still won't change one byte. The only bytes it changes are the ones you
purposely edit, but it'll even resave those edits using the image's
original compression scheme. It doesn't put the whole image through the
compression routine each time you save it, like every other less
intelligent editor on earth must do. Stupid people choose and support
unintelligent image editors and the idiot authors that create them.

Although the GIMP is a good editor it is less than intuitive in its
commands. Those who use Windows as an OS are more likely to find
Photoshop easier to use. However it is not free (moderately expensive.)
But many books on how to use are freely available. There is a rewrite of
GIMP that uses a command set and screen scheme that is much closer to
Photoshop and as such might be more attractive to Windows users. It is
called GIMPshop.

Moderately expensive, at $600 I'd like to know what you would consider
an expensive editor.

Somewhat out of date information! GIMPshop is based on a very, very old
version of Gimp, is buggy and hasn't been supported in 2 or more years.
The menu structure of Gimp has been rewritten since GIMPshop days and
is much more logical. There is much very good online documentation for
Gimp and techniques for Photoshop usually translate easy when you
understand the concepts that you are applying.
Please, before you comment, use the latest version, rather than relying
on hearsay or 3 year old information!

couldn't make anything of it, but I tried it again today and it works
a treat.

dollars. Besided which you can get Photoshop for less than $600.

I use GIMPshop with no problems whatsoever. Older software is not
necessarily bad software. I am not referring to hearsay when I comment
on GIMPshop I am referring to my use of the software. Do not assume that
your are privy to my experience and make specious comments about it.

fine when it does the job you need. Newer versions fix bugs and add
features.
Have a good day
