-      <title>To Rotate Images Without Loss of Quality</title>
-      <para>
-        Usually if you want to rotate an image you have to open the image with
-        an editor, rotate the image, and then save it.  This works well for
-        image formats such as PNG or GIF, but results in a loss of
-        quality for JPEG images. (The rotation functions in
-	<menuchoice><guimenu>Image</guimenu><guimenuitem>Transform</guimenuitem>
-	</menuchoice> operate this way - with loss.)
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        If you want to rotate JPEG images without losing image quality,
-	select the images you want to rotate and choose
-	<menuchoice><guimenu>Tools</guimenu><guimenuitem>Rotate
-	Images</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.  &app; displays the
-	<guilabel>Rotate Images</guilabel> dialog.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        Click on <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> to apply the changes.
-        The files are automatically saved after clicking <guibutton>Apply</guibutton>.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        If you check the <guilabel>Apply to all images</guilabel>
-        option, the rotation is applied to the
-        currently displayed image as well as to all the remaining
-        images you have selected;
-        otherwise, once the rotation has been performed on the current
-        image, the next image in the selection is displayed, and you can
-        choose another type of rotation.
-      <note>
-        <title>NOTE</title>
-        <para>
-          If the selection contains some non-JPEG images, they are
-          rotated as well. (Not all file formats are supported, however.)
-        </para>
-      </note>
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        In general, there are two ways to rotate a JPEG image. The first way
-        is to re-arrange the pixels inside the image file, using a "physical"
-        transform. The second way is to leave the image data alone, and simply
-        change the value of the Exif orientation tag inside the header of the JPEG file.
-        Not all JPEG files have Exif tags however, and not all applications
-        support them. If your image does not have Exif tags, the pixels will
-        be re-arranged inside the image file automatically, since that is the only
-        possible method.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        If your image has an Exif orientation tag, and the <guilabel>Apply physical transform</guilabel>
-        checkbox is enabled, the physical transform will be used to re-arrange the image
-        data, and the Exif orientation tag will be reset to its default value
-        of "top left".
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        If your image has an Exif orientation tag, and the <guilabel>Apply physical transform</guilabel>
-        checkbox is not enabled, then only the orientation tag will be changed. The
-        raw image data itself will not be transformed.
-      <note>
-        <title>NOTE</title>
-        <para>
-        For maximum compatibility with other applications, it is recommended that
-        the <guilabel>Apply physical transform</guilabel> checkbox normally be enabled
-        in both the rotation and import dialogs.
-        </para>
-      </note>
-      </para>
-      <para>The physical transform of pixel data inside the JPEG file will not
-        degrade image quality (that is, it is lossless) under most conditions.
-        However, if the image dimensions (height and width) are not both multiples
-        of 8, some data corruption will occur along one or two of the edges of the
-        image. If there is an Exif orientation tag, you can avoid this problem
-        by disabling the <guilabel>Apply physical transform</guilabel> checkbox.
-        If you must use the physical transform approach with
-        images whose dimensions are not multiples of 8, &app; will allow you to
-        proceed despite possible image distortion, but it will also ask if you
-        would like to trim the image slightly (by up to 7 columns and/or rows
-        of pixels) to remove the problem areas.
