Although rotating jpegs (at 90 degree intervals) with DPingScan may be 
a good test of whether anything peculiar has happened in RIO 5.14, it 
is far faster to rotate jpegs (at 90 degree intervals) in !Variations, 
where it also does not re-jpeg the file (and thus does not lose 
quality, which happens when rotating in DPingScan).
