If you want to quickly level a photo, or arbitrarily rotate a photo - the rotate slider feature is really hard to use with any accuracy - each pixel of movement is just significant jump in rotation degrees. And you also don't have guidelines to compare against to see if the image is straight - However, in its current state, that wouldn't be necessary because it would be impossible to accurately rotate the image to match any grid lines
(I don't think it's applicable but I'm using Desktop / Windows / Firefox)

Describe the solution you'd like

The slider should be one or all of the following:

  • Wider/larger slider, resize it to utilise the space, decreases sensitivity, increases accuracy.
  • Limit the slider to only rotate a small amount - e.g. up to 45 degrees at the extremes of the slider e.g. the slider can then just be used for fine-tuning, while the rotate buttons perform the larger 90 degree jumps - further decreases the sensitivity of the slider.
  • Show a grid overlay while using the slider - provides lines over the image you can align horizontal and vertical elements against.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Move the mouse by 10 only pixels and you get this much rotation - each pixel of adjustment is far too much rotation / you can't use it to get anything straight.
