One thing I've wanted for a while is the ability to see a ghosted image, as InDesign, whilst a placed image is moved or rotated.

It's always a bit hit and miss when you've got a rectangular image that you want to line up precisely (without sorting it in Photoshop first). You drag a guide, line up one corner and then use the rotate tool but the image just becomes a placed image rectangle until you let it go.

Sure you can use the numerical dialogue with the live preview on but for quick 'eyeballing' it would be a handy option. Especially now apps like Photoshop are using core image processing from the graphics CPU to spin images.

Of course somebody's going to tell me it's possible now but I've not found it. :-)
