GraphicConverter can rotate a JPEG image without loss if the size of the image in pixels is a multiple of 8. I therefore try to create scans whose sizes are multiples of 8. The size of the images I am currently creating have been specified as 1272 x 848 pixels. When I check the final images though, they are in fact a few pixels smaller in width and height than the specified size.
My scan settings are:Scan resolution: 100 dpi

If the output dimension cannot be generate without loosing the proportions (chain between the two entry fields "output dimension" closed) the software will round the output up or down.
I'd prefer to have accurate pixel output, and the difference in proportion would be minute in most cases anyway.
