Jay said: I have noticed many images that are not square with the image viewer, by this I mean that horizontal lines of text in them do not align with the ruler. Some are more than 10 degrees away from being horizontal. Because the lines of text do not align with the ruler these images are very difficult to index and review. Having the ability to rotate the images in increments of 1 degree would allow them to be rotated enough to align with the ruler and would thus make it easier to index and review them and thus would reduce errors in reviewing and indexing.
I have attached two screen shots of one of the most egregious specimens that I have encountered.
In the first image it can be seen that the left end of the first line in the image is four lines above the left end of the ruler when the right end of the line is just above the right end of the ruler.
In the second image the ruler has been moved up to be just below the right most pertinent information in the line, even then the left end of the line is still three lines above the left end of the ruler.

The color of the ruler can be changed by clicking the Batch item in the menu and selecting Settings form the drop down menu.

    Has anyone come up with a way to rotate an image just a few degrees so you can use the ruler to line up with the document text. Or can the ruler be rotated a few degrees to match the document
