The Leaf application doesn't have any rotate...unfortunately, but luckily
the Leaf holder does rotate, and I can get the film as lined up as well my
eye can see for those small adjustments.  I could see where a grid/light
table would be nice to have with a fixed film holder.

I assume for B&W, it scans in RGB and converts internally?
