I have a scan of an old busness card that I would like to re-use after I make a few changes. The cards came in an 11" x 14" sheet at the time and they had guidelines on them to show where to make the cuts. So my scan is of one card but not cut out perfectly - it still has the guidelines - it still needs to be trimmed.

The scan is a 3.88 MB jpg.

How can I rotate the scan to align perfectly with the guidelines? I am brand new to Illustartor.

Can you explain how to do that?

You need to turn on Smart Guides. And you need to edit the Preferences > Smart Guides and then to rotate the cards exactly, you can do it like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0nbhpeauqiboh2f/rotate.mp4?dl=0
