There is something to be said for conserving file size. Every adjustment af=
ter the snap increases the file size. If the software isn't really top grad=
e you can rotate a scan and end up with a coin that looks like a circular s=
aw blade and with a larger file size. I think it's best to get virtually ev=
erything adjusted before the snap if possible.

Yes,

But you can also acheive this (perhaps better) with software.
