I don't think a mini photo-specific editor is too much as I've said before. 
Most printers/digital cameras in windows come with some simple home-user 
editing app - one of those bundled with Haiku would be fine IMHO.

I'm completely with Micahel about wanting to view 100 times and edit once, and 
that launching a seperate app for the edit from within showimage is the best 
way to handle that sort of usage. On the other hand, rotation is such a common 
thing to do when viewing (you can view an image with contrast slightly off 
fine, but before you can really take in the photo it needs to be the correct 
way around) - so I think the lossless rotation as proposed by stippi is the way 
to go. Although ShowImage handles lots of image formats, the only images you're 
likely to want to rotate (99% of the time) will be JPEG didital photos, so a 
special case for that sounds acceptable.
