Hi,

then you should code it anyway by yourself in e.g. C and call it from
Mathematica, but to do it purely in Mathematica is even for moderately
sized images no option since it is far too slow.

For the Mathematica-day in Germany I wrote a set of functions for an
rigid image registration which contains a rotation. This whole stuff is
written using CUDA but that's effectively C.
It should at least show you what to do.

Please find it under

If you really don't come forward then just send me a mail and we'll see
what we can do.

Afaik nothing ready to use exists in Mathematica, 
but such functions are not harder to code than a normal rotation.
