Digital shots are convenient for everyone. They can be conveniently stored, transferred and viewed. However, when browsing through collections of digital photographs, it is not uncommon to find images rotated from their natural position. These images are obtained by rotating the camera appropriately when shooting. When viewing such pictures, you involuntarily have to think about how to rotate the photo. Modern graphic editors make this very easy.
