I did something like this - I took an image and rotated it a couple hundred times in Windows Explorer. It gradually degraded into a blurry blob.

  Which is pathetic, since it's possible to do a lossless (I mean not incrementally lossy) rotation of JPG's.

    MS Windows (XP IIRC) used to warn you if you used the built in image rotation function for JPEGs that it was lossy. I've a feeling it was fixed in SP2 but I've not used MS Win for years so am not really sure.

      Win Vista & 7 don't have this problem (just checked).

        I did this in 1997 or 1998.
