TIP: Double the size of a scanned image before rotating then resize back down 50%. This helped solve my problem of fuzzy chickens…
<img alt="E065Cs.gif" 
I had sharp images when scanning in at 150 dpi, but the scanned page was crooked. I had to rotate it 1.25 degrees. Rotating caused the images to get fuzzy (top row.) By resizing the original scan 200%, then rotating 1.25%, and then resizing back down 50%, I got the sharper second row.
Do you think this technique would work with other types of pictures or will it only work with pictures of chickens?
I can confirm this method works for cows and pigs also. I would suspect it would work with many kinds of photos and graphics, but mainly where you have to worry about correcting rotation problems.
