great work Raven! @ Nilla...well, PSP8 has just upgraded to 8.1, said they listened to complaints & fixed them... i have yet to reinstall the new version, just received it yesterday in the mail from Jasc... i found a lot of improvements with 8 & it does have the option to change the workspace back to what you're use to with 7... PSP8 looks much like PS7 now as far as rotation, losing clairty will happen with any program...most digital images will need sharpening with "unsharp mask" before further editing & again after rotating, & again after all editing & resizing is done (you also need to work with raw, tif or bmp images... ecspecially if you are saving in between working on the image, to prevent further image compression & when you are satisfied with the completed image you can then resize & save it as a jpg to upload, but you should keep your original, large tif to print from, but you probably know this already) look foward to seeing your scanned images :]
