Auto-rotate images on import, AP 2.0

Since I upgraded to version 2.0 images are no longer auto-rotated on import and I can find no way of switching this function on. It worked fine with all previous versions. I am importing RAW files directly from my D200. Anyone else having this problem?
Andy.

Same here. My KM 7D files used to rotate on import with v1.5.x, but not with v2. I hope this is just a temporary glitch because I REALLY liked that feature. Picking through 400 thumbnails to rotate the images before importing is a pain.
(Just a tip: Until Apple fixes this issue, it's best to rotate your photos while still in the import screen. Aperture hasn't yet begun to create previews or thumbnails for these images and it will save a little time if your computer can start creating these things with the correct orientation from the beginning.
If you wait until after you've imported the photos, Aperture has already begun processing and you'll have to fight for CPU time while you sort through the images looking for shots to rotate.)

    In Muse: How to auto rotate Images on Full Screen Slideshow if pictures were taken mixed Portrait and Landscape

    There is no way that Muse would automatically rotate the images. What you can instruct Muse to do is whether you want to show all image content and leave blank space in either direction OR scale the image to fill the frame resulting in some cropping, but filling the otherwise blank space.
    The options are Fit Content Proportionally and Fill Frame Proportionally respectively.

  • Rotate images DURING import

    To be able to rotate images DURING import would be a nice feature. I can do this with Apple's Image Capture. They are imported wih the rotation I have requested, and this show in the icons too.
    I like popping a folder open and view my images in icon view. I don't have to open a program at all. It's quick and efficent way to view my images, but also the orientation is correct right from the beginning with the original. Maybe one more step in the import process, for those of us who don't mind it, BUT it's also one more step I DON"T have to do in Lightroom, Photoshop, or any other program. And the rotataion in Lightroom are temporary to the eye anyway.
    This is good feature/option to add to the import. Lightroom ROCKS. It just elimanted a multi-step, multi-software import process. Almost. The "rotate during import" feature would seal the deal. It's a big deal to me. Like the Apple Image Capture, you could place rotation icons on each image in the preview window. If you added that, man, solid gold!
    thanks,

    Sure, I get that, but I can understand how non-destructive editing is useful in image adjustments where later you may regret having added too much saturation in the reds, so you're glad you can go back to the original. But who wants a portrait image rotated in landscape orientation EVER? It's a personal preference, and, no, not a priority in my opinion.
    Ian:
    You may think your post was enlightening, but, perhaps to someone else. Surely not me. I've always known what the 'real cause' is -- some software, i.e. WEB BROWSWERS, ignore the EXIF tag. Hence, my question was more of a philosophical one: why have portrait images rotated sideways, only to have aware applications ON-THE-FLY rotate them according to the EXIF tag? Why not just have the original file re-written in different dimensions?
    For that matter, I specifically spelled out 'why can't... [the file be] rewritten from 800x600 to 600x800'. Hence I find your response 'They will be if the rotation tag is set in the camera' pretty darn irrelevant. No, they WON'T be rewritten rotated. Only by Graphic Converter if you have the option selected, or other applications that don't come to mind right now.

  • Photoshop CS3 will not auto-rotate images...

    After loading CS3 on my new MacBook Pro (3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo), Photoshop does not auto rotate images?
    The finder rotates them...Bridge rotates them...Expression Media2 rotates them.....Photoshop does not
    Obviously the camera, Nikon D2x, is set to tag vertical images for rotation. What gives? I can't find any sort of setting in PS for auto rotate.
    It worked on my old laptop and on an old EMac.

    Thanks! I appreciated the help. But I did that also.
    It is a waste of my time to have to do this after every photo shoot. Photoshop and many other programs do this automatically. There has to be a reason for it not working on my new laptop. I even uninstalled and reinstalled CS3.
    I was hoping for a solution not a work around....I guess I need to contact the Adobe support team. Do they frequent these forums or is it just us?

  • Auto Rotate Nikon .nef files

    Hello everyone,
    I found this topic (archived) ... I would like to re-open the issue.
    "Topic : Auto-rotate images on import, AP 2.0"
    The topic, closed with people saying that it worked if you plugged the camera to the computer.
    It still doesnt seem to solve the issue if we use a normal USB Card Reader for the SD Cards.
    I have a Nikon D80 ... and I put the cards in a Card Reader (its easier to have the card reader, than the usb cable around !).
    Auto Rotate of the .Nef files, does not work. No Exif info either.
    Any ideas ?
    Regards

    Look -- this is simple: Camera RAW 2.3 broke Auto-Rotation and recognition of duplicates if images remain on a card after previously capturing them. This has been confirmed and a bug report filed by a number of people. Shortly we should expect a new camera RAW update. CRAW 2.3 also impacted iPhoto in similar ways.
    I have not found any EXIF data to be missing.
    In the meantime I have found it only a minor inconvenience, and continue to use Aperture 2.1.2 to good advantage.

  • IPhoto slideshows - randomly rotating images.

    Hi People, can you help?
    I've put photos from my Nikon onto the hard drive and imported some into iPhoto v5. I then rotated the ones needing it, but when I run a slideshow the rotated images sometimes appear correct, but then appear rotated again, sometimes squashed and sometimes the correct aspect. What the heck is going on please?

    KB:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does your Nikon have a auto rotate option? What version of iPhoto are you running? With an auto rotate camera a tag is written to the file to tell the application to show it rotated but the file itself is not. iPhoto 5.0.4 corrected the problem of iPhoto not reading and interpreting that tag properly. However even with 5.0.4 sometime if you are to use one of those files in an external application like Word, etc. it will revert back to the unrotated view as Word does not read the tag.
    This may be what you're experiencing, particularly if you're not running 5.0.4. If you are and the files were imported in an earlier version you'd still have the problem. So you may have some of those auto rotated images that were imported before and after you updated to 5.0.4.

  • Scanned images rotate slightly upon import- any idea why and how to fix?

    I have been scanning photo images on my Epson Workforce 845. The images are straight in preview but rotate slightly upon import. Does anyone have an idea of a fix? The files themselves appear rotated as stored on the computer and before transferring to iPhoto.

    You wrote:
    "The windows viewer application ignores all profiles and treats all files as if they were sRGB."
    False. Windows 7 Photo Viewer is fully color managed.
    As for the reason why Photoshop cannot use the embedded profile, read for example

  • Partial rotation of images when importing...

    I'm wondering how to stop Lightroom from "squaring up" my images when I import them.  Attached is a screen shot to illustrate.
    I also can't find any consistentency, if I import the same image three times it will be as above twice but not on the third time!
    I'm wondering if this is a metadata thing?
    BTW camera is a Nikon D600.
    With thanks in advance,
    -Simon

    If this is only happening to a few of the images on import it is most likely something related to your camera. If ALL of the Imported images exhibit the issue then there are two things in LR that could cause this to happen:
    1) You are applying a Develop preset on Import that has  Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool setting other than '0.'
    2) Your LR 'Default Develop Settings' has a Crop Angle tool or Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool setting other than '0.'
    To check this import one of the images from CF card that shows the rotation. Examine the Crop Angle tool and Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool settings to determine which one is being applied. From inside the Develop module with the imported image still rotated hit the master 'Reset' button at the bottom of the right-hand Develop panel. This applies your LR 'Default Develop Settings.'
    a) If the image is still rotated you may have inadvertently updated your LR 'Default Develop Settings' in the past with the image rotated. To correct this simply hit the master 'Reset' button, reset both the Crop Angle tool and Manual Rotate tools to '0,' go to toolbar Develop> Set Default settings, and select 'Update to Current Settings.'
    b) If the image is not rotated you are probably applying a Develop preset that was inadvertently created with the image rotated. You will need to recreate this preset making sure Lens Corrections> 'Transform' is unchecked. This is the only Develop preset setting that will rotate the image as in your example.
    If neither a or b fixes the issue you can try resetting your LR Preferences file:

  • Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not auto rotate SOME images.

    Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not rotate SOME of my vertical images.  Most other photos taken in the same time frame and with the same camera display perfectly.
    Orientation is checked for display under Preferences, Metadata, Camera Data. 
    There also seems to be a discrepancy how Orientation is described under Metadata for those images which DO auto rotate : sometimes it is -90 (which is how I hold the camera for verticals and which displays on most verticals) and sometimes it is "normal" even when it has auto rotated the image.   I do not understand this difference.
    "Normal" is also used to describe the orientation of those images which DO NOT auto rotate for viewing.
    The photos in questions were taken using a Nikon D-300 which is programmed to indicate the orientation of the camera and has always been programmed to do so. 
    I know I can manually change the orientation but we are talking about hundreds of images (I have over 10,000 photos in all; most of which display fine).
    What should I be looking for to explain and correct this issue?
    I appreciate anything you can do to help.  Thank you.

    Thanks for responding to my query.  I'll check out the thumbnail size.
    It is just so curious that 90% of the verticals auto rotate and the rest do not.  The ones that do not rotate are even from different years (other images in those years work fine), although all taken with the same camera.

  • Picture auto-rotation on import into LR3 ?

    Hello !
    When importing directly from a card into LR3, vertical pictures are displayed correctly in the library, but JPEGs are not rotated in the file system.
    That's not too much of an issue if you edit with CS5, or export the pictures. In those cases they are handled appropriately.
    However if you edit with something else (in my case Topaz's filters via Topaz Fusion Express), the pictures aren't rotated appropriately.
    Context: W7x64, LR3, Cameras (EOS5D, G10) set to Auto-rotate "on"
    Any idea about how to fix this?
    Many thanks!
    Jean-Paul

    Ok - bear with me...
    Workflow1: import pictures from camera, with Canon EOS Utility or Canon CameraWindow. Both of them activate ZoomBrowser.
    Result: jpegs and raws stored in the file system.
    View with Windows explorer, all thumbnails have correct orientation.
    Edit with CS5 orientation is correct.
    Workflow2: import pictures from card, with Adobe LR3.
    Result: jpegs and raws stored in file system.
    View with Windows explorer, vertical photos are not displayed correctly (not rotated).
    View in LR3 library, orientation is correct.
    Edit in CS5 (called from LR3) orientation is correct.
    Edit in Topaz Fusion Express (called from LR3) orientation is not correct.
    I moved from 1 to 2 because of Canon's inability to provide a driver for W7x64, and, more importantly, because of the workflow improvement with LR3. The incorrect orientation is of course not a showstopper, but an annoyance...
    Thanks

  • Auto-rotating portrait pictures in iPhoto Library

    I'm using iPhoto 6.0.5 (316) and when I started importing photos from my old Windows PC, all of my portrait shots were auto-rotated in the library which is awesome. But I just noticed that the last several rolls I've imported aren't doing that. All the images are from the same camera so I'm not quite sure what I did (if anything) to cause the difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The orientation tag is part of the image files EXIF data recorded by your camera when the picture is taken. If iPhoto sees the orientation tag it rotates the image for you.
    Unfortunately, there are lots of things you can do to inadvertently strip an image file of the EXIF data. For example, early versions of iPhoto would export photos with most of the EXIF data removed, at least the makernotes portions.
    Did you open or view the photos that didn't rotate in any software that you didn't use with the others? If so, that may be what happened.

  • Canon, auto rotate, RAW with PhotoShop can not handle portrait!!!

    I shot in RAW using Canon EOS Digi SLRs.
    My Canon bodys have auto rotate, so if I shot a portrait image when it loads into iPhoto it turn it the right way up. This is fine. But I use PhotoShop CS3 (it does it with any PhotoShop version) if I drag an image from iPhoto that is in landscape mode and drop it onto the PhotoShop icon in the dock it moves the RAW file to PhotoShop fine and I can edit this in RAW.
    If the image is in portrait, then when I drag it again to PhotoShop it send a JPG version and not the RAW.
    To get round this I need to export any portrait images I want to process in RAW then load them into PhotoShop.
    Not sure if it's a bug or a feature !!!! but it's been in iPhoto for a year or so.
    Now I could try the "edit using...." as the external editor but I also use Aperture and GraphicConvertor so I just drag to the App I want to use.
    Any ideas?

    Ray,
    I believe that what you see is normal. Perhaps I can explain why.
    You turn your camera 90 degrees to take the vertical shot. Although your camera never shows you this, the shot is horizontal, with an added flag to display as rotated. When you import it into your library, iPhoto recognizes the original RAW photo and saves it in the Originals file. But iPhoto also recognizes the rotate flag, and it obeys. Since the core philosophy of iPhoto is to preserve an untouched original file, the rotated version gets created and saved into the Modified folder (as a jpeg, see below). There is no way to turn this off.
    A note about RAW files. iPhoto will store the RAW file and even export it for you, but it can't display or directly edit the RAW data. So, the RAW file is tucked safely away in the Originals folder, and a jpeg version is created and stored in the Modified folder. In your case, this jpeg is also being rotated to portrait orientation. Again, there is no way to turn this off.
    What you can do about the rotation dilemma is turn off the auto-rotate feature in your camera. Upload using Image Capture to a file on your desktop. Open the portrait photos in Photoshop and save (overwriting the original, unrotated image). Once saved, import the folder into your Library. This should give you the correctly oriented RAW in Originals, which will export when you drag it to Photoshop. Note: Preview will not work for rotating the file, because all it does is add the rotate flag, telling Preview to display the file with rotation. It will look okay, but when you export or upload to a website you will still see the original, unrotated file.
    Regards.

  • Image capture import to dated folder

    Is it possible to use the auto-import feature of Image Capture to create a created date folder to import the images into?
    Thanks in advance for responses!
    John

    For other reasons I've turned off the auto rotate in my camera and rotate them before importing into iPhoto. A slick tool for that is PhotoToolCM, a contextual menu plugin that can do lossless rotations and EXIF data edits, capture dates, etc.
    I'm not a professional but I've done a number of edits on a jpg which caused it to be slightly re-compressed each time and I've not seen any problems. Admittedly my largest prints have been 5x7 but it's not something I really worry about. Pros usually shoot RAW so they wouldn't be affected by jpg re-compression.
    I am surprised at the amount of reduction you're getting. I've seen some modest size reductions due to editing but none as large as you've reported. I'm not getting any with my Canon. What camera are you using and what's the sensor size, i.e. MP? Do you find a difference is size between the landscape and portrait files?
    If you're importing directly from the camera try using Image Capture on a bunch of test shots, both landscape and portrait, and upload to a folder on the desktop first. Then import that folder into iPhoto. You can then compare the size in the folder to the resulting sizes in the Original folder, unless you've already done it that way.

  • Auto Rotate problems when shooting tethered overhead

    I am shooting with a Canon 5d mark 2.  When I shoot product into the auto rotate works properly and the image appears rotated properly. Although when I shoot overhead or down on product it seems to get confused. If I rotate the camera twords the horizon and fire it figures out which way it should be the I can reframe my overhead shot.  But if the camera is moved at all it will show up rotated the wrong way and I have to slightly move the camera away from its directly overhead framing again so it can figure out wich way it should be rotating. I have tried all three rotate modes with the camera with similar inconsitant results. What is the best setting on the camera to get consistant results. Or ii I turn auto rotate off is there a way to tell lightrroom to rotate it properly on import like it does for all other settings like white balance.

    This isn't a function of tethering, I wouldn't think. Many cameras have a sensor that determines the orientation of images so auto-rotate works. The problem is that these sensors generally only work along one axis, using the force of gravity to tell them where down is. When you orient the camera such that the lens is pointing down most sensors no longer are able to determine whether you are in portrait or landscape, because there is no down -- it ends up being somewhat random.
    I've seen this on many different cameras, and all without tethering. It has to do when the sensor is read when composing the short.
    Your best bet is to set the camera to ignore the sensor when taking pics like this, and rotate the image by hand that are need to be in portrait. If there is no rotation in the image metadata, Lr will not rotate it. It will have to be done by hand. It won't be that hard to select a number of images and bulk rotate them.

Maybe you are looking for
