First of all, what camera are you using? Because with some non DSLR's you simply cannot get pictures onto this site I would say. This picture looks a little soft and blurry...how big is the original file? Bad quality can often be a result of jpeg compression. Do you use Photoshop software and save it as quality 12 (maximum)? That is very important!
Cheers

No problem,
I use the Kodak DX6490 which has 10x optical zoom and 4Mp. The original size of the image is 2304 x 1728 pixels.
I have basic knowledge of photoshop, I use Adobe PhotoDeuluxe 3.0, which although is not ideal, it does alright for me.However, when I export the image to a jpg file I do not get to control the amount of compression the file receives...
I should post the original file, anyone know where I can post a 516kb JPEG?

Mainly in camera sharpening, as the camera has to be ready to take another shot quickly it applies sharpening without any restrictions. Instead of picking which parts of the image to sharpen.

Thank you again Ian and Diezel,
What I really mean is when I rotate, my images becomes jaggy, kinda like every few pixels have been rotated individually rather than the whole picture. Example.
Also, what needs to be done sharpening wise (if anything) to my pic? I have basic knowledge of USM and no how to use it, but don't know what values I should be using.

Ian,
Was that taken as a screen capture...? You may find that as you rotate the image the viewing magnification changes, you should always edit a photograph using a viewing magnification that isn't an odd division - i.e. use 25% or 50% or 75%. Photoshop does some funny things to an image when you view it at 33.3% for example.
USM - as you know it will vary between cameras, I used 200% at 0.2pix 0 threshold then 90%, 0.3, 3. This was applied to the luminous channel. Not sure if you can do that within your editing package though.
