Rotate images in Preview in very fine steps

Using Preview to look at pictures today, I discovered that not only can you rotate them 90 degrees in either direction, but you can also rotate them by much smaller increments. Hold Option while pressing the rotate buttons to have much more control over the amount the picture is rotated.

[robg adds: If you haven't done so yet, you'll have to Control-click on the toolbar, select Customize Toolbar, and add the Rotate Left and Rotate Right buttons. Once you've started Option-rotating by fine steps, I'm not aware of any quick way to get it back to zero degrees.]
