i'm awfully wary of photoshop adjustments, although i know it's stupid as camera adjusts images automatically anyways. i sometimes use brightness/contrast balance (not automatic) to make tine changes in very dark pictures. i use .jpg, not raw, because i'm lazy and also because i don't want to 'make up' the picture myself, i want it to be as close to reality as possible, and by postprocessing time i could forget how everything looked at the time of shooting. i don't see how rotation can affect picture quality
I understand, and share, your wariness very much. The point to keep in mind is: To reveal the picture. Not to make it lie.
(Rotation is one of the most quality damaging operation you could imagine - except +/- 90° obviously. All the pixels of the picture are impacted and interpolated. You can try to rotate a picture 1° in a direction, then 1° backward, and compare with your original picture, all the fine details are killed =( )
