I have used Picasa 3 for quite a while and like it ok but I don't like the rotating/straightening options.

You can choose the rotate clockwise or counterclockwise options and that rotates 90 degrees either way. Or, you can choose the straighten option but for whatever reasons, it not only straightens but zooms at the same time. Because of the zoom, you can't straighten much before you are zoomed in too much and cutting off some of the chip(s).

So, does anyone have any idea how to do this in Picasa 3....or have better software that I could download? Preferably free...

Thanks in advance
