That's true, but be aware that rotations in Photoshop
(Edit>Transform>Rotate) are destructive data-wise. Most of the scanning
experts suggest paying attention the the "straight and true" rule when
scanning: positioning your image so that rotation will not be needed when
your scan opens in Photoshop. Makes sense that tilting a solid grid of
pixels and then making them straight again is going to require some
heavy-duty math on your image!

Of course, the proof is in the pudding; if you rotate and don't see
problems in your final output (as opposed to on screen) then you know
it's an OK technique for your working style.

Good luck!
