Mac > Preview > Rotate (Less Than 90 Degrees)

So I've been browsing the internet for a solution. Usually I'd use photoshop, but it was torrented... And on my old PC.. So I don't use that anymore... Anyways, I have images on my desktop (Mostly YouTube Thumbnails and Profile Backgrounds) and I need the preview app to rotate images in less than 90 degrees.. Is there some sort of mod to do that? (I'm sort of new to iMacs, so I'm not sure if there's mods... Haha) Could I go into the program files and change that? If there is no way to change that, is there a program that is strongly similar to the Preview app that I could use? (I want to keep my editing simple..)

To rotate less than 90 degrees you might be able to use the straighten tool in iPhoto. If you have iPhoto installed then try it out to see if that does what you need. It is really made for straightening an image (as the name implies) but does do image rotation ± 45º

If that doesn't do it for you (or you don;t have iPhoto installed) then you will need to use an image compositor such as PS. GIMP is a free image editor like PS and with version 2.8 it runs native on OS X no need to install X11 to use it anymore.

See GIMP for the native version andGIMP.org for more info.

I use http://seashore.sourceforge.net/The_Seashore_Project/About.html works really well for simple image manipulation.
