Default Rotate plugin for Irfanview?

Can anyone suggest a free plugin (Photoshop or otherwise) that will work
with Irfanview to provide a better free-rotate function? Something with
a slider (like in Picasa) or snap-line (Paintshop Pro) or anything
better than just randomly guessing angles?

One way to get the best of both worlds is to use Picasa to organise
and access your images (which it's rather good at) and Irfanview as
the image editor it jumps to when you want do something with the image
that Picasa isn't so good at.

You mean better that the lossless rotate plugin already available for
Irfanview?

Lossless rotate only works for 90° rotations.

Like you, I guess the angle in Irfanview. It's not so random any more,
one does get pretty good at guessing the best angle... but it is still
trial and error. It would be great to have a feature that allows you
to rotate with a handle of some kind, and even neater if it would
automatically crop out the image voids that are thus created. But I
don't know of a plugin that will do that.

If you are looking for a free image editing software with advanced
features, suggest look at GIMP. With Ufraw plugin you can handle the raw
formats as well.

Umm, I'm not. I'm looking for something to improve on my existing
application's built-in function.

If I was looking for a whole different program, I wouldn't have asked
for "a plugin that will work with Irfanview".
