Martin,

That is a very good point.

I have to admit that I was using Photoshop for a couple of _years_ and
had done perhaps 20,000 rotations before I learned about that method
(and I found out from a friend, not from the program's help or manual,
though it was probably documented).

In any case, the same concept (preferably with BOTH method possible:
draw a line or click start, click end) in a more discoverable way would
sure be great.
