The objection to using Variations and JCut (which is not 32 bit
unfortunately) is that if you want to retain the original camera file,
you end up with a second file on your disc for every one that you
rotate. The beauty of OPro is that you can, I have now found, rotate
the file without making any copies or any alteration to your original
file; I have yet to find any other program that can do that.
