[Ham-Computers] Rotating An Image

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi All, 	
	
I scanned a photo and then needed to rotate it 90 degrees left, or
counterclockwise. It was a .bmp at 150 pi. I selected .jpg and 100% compression.
I saved it to my zip drive. About 1.2 meg. 	
	
I loaded MS Imaging, loaded the .jpg and then rotated the image 90 degrees left.
Looked fine. Under the 'file' menu, the only option to save was 'save as'. I
wrote: d:my-car.jpg and pressed enter. 	
	
The image was now 170K, not 1.2 meg. I loaded it into MS Imaging, it was fine. 	
	
I tried to print it and got a page full of black ink lines. I sent it to my
daughter to check, she got a red X and could not open it. 	
	
What went wrong here? Something must have happened after the image was rotated
and saved, but what?	
	
Thanks.
