When I rotate an image in Preview and save it, it reverts back to original

This is a really frustrating problem! When I click on a picture in Finder, it comes up in Preview. If I rotate and save it, the rotation isn't saved and it ends up being the same as the original picture. How am I able to rotate and save the rotation?!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

What application are you using to rotate the picture? Applications such as Preview and GraphicConverter save the rotated picture, but with others such as iPhoto you need to export the rotated image.
