Image Capture rotation 'snaps' to vertical/horizontal too agressively

Is there a way to tell Image Capture not to "snap" my rotation to 0 so agressively? If I slightly mis-align something I am scanning and need to rotate it by less than 1 degree to straighten it, I can't do that by dragging the rotation handle, because it will automatically "snap" to 0. Instead I have to laboriously type different values into the text box to get the right rotation.

Also, it would be really helpful if you could drag the rotation handle out so you can use a larger mouse movement to indicate a finer rotation.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Well, I'm not looking for anything fancy, just to be able to rotate more freely. I was hoping that maybe holding Option- or Shift- while rotating would allow you to rotate without the 'snap' effect, or to rotate more finely. It's kind of crazy, if I make sure to place items really sloppily on my scanner, I can more easily adjust the rotation than if I try to be somewhat accurate.

Clearly, the program has to go to some effort to create this 'snap' effect; it should allow it to be turned off.
