You can do that with Open With. For example, I use Inkscape on SVG images and Gimp for all others. It works great to do whatever I want with Images. If you want to block resize you can also use a plugin for that.

ImageMagick is a also good tool to add to OpenWith as a set of command line shell or bat scripts to handle things like resize and rotate by 90 or -90. That works too.

It all depends on how you want to resize and or rotate. What is the calibre image editing user interface like? I have never used it.

Why not use a real image editor with Open With?

Or are you just talking about using a css style to tranform::rotate()?

Or are you talking about using the QTransform class that is part of QPainter? QTransform (Qt) makes it painless to rotate, and resize images.

Are there standard rotations or standard image sizes you repeatedly use?
