I have the latest update for PM and it still doesn't allow it. Would be useful to have but i still export images to PS so i just crop them there.
If i see anything in the next update i'll let you know

Don't use it but i thought photo mechanic did allow rotating and crops. It just shows a line where the new boundary of the photo will be and the actually crop and rotation is only applied when you export or ftp from pm. Could be totally wrong though!

it allows you to rotate an image 90 deg at a time and to crop an image. What i think Tony means, is once you have the crop boundary in place, to be able to rotate the boundary. Effectively straightening the horizon. At the moment this feature isn't in PM

Ok heard back from the Photo Mechanic people.
Asked them if it will happen.....
"@rogan200: it looks like it will be in the next major PM release. It's not definite, but very likely and currently close to being finished."
and then asked them when the next major release will come....
"@rogan200 in the world of software, one can never give a timeframe.
When you start seeing v4.7 beta releases, you know we are close."
They've just released a beta of version 4.6.7 so version 4.7 is probably a few months away and its looking like that will have the full rotate and crop functionality.

Nice one Rogan!!
Roll on v4.7!
Roll on v4.7!
it will be complete then and no need to fire up PS
I still use PS to give my images a tweek in terms of levels, colour and contrast, so i'll continue to do that! It is something that's missing currently though!
