A few people have extended the PImage class to inlcude a rotate method, but they all call rotate(), which rotates the entire world, not just the PImage. Any idea?

Yes, it might not seem intuitive, but that's the way most computer graphics work... Instead of rotating a photo, you take the whole world, rotate it, put down the photo, then rotate back the world!
