Auto rotate photos

Hi,
please can any of you, tell me if the phots stored on my Nokia 625 phone, should they auto-rotate as mine don't seem too.

You need to have auto rotate activated go to settings then screen rotation and turn it on here.
If you are on WP8.1 drag screen down and you will see rotation lock.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

IPhoto 09 loses date on auto-rotated photos

Try that: take an old photo in portrait mode (auto-rotated from a camera, mine is a Canon) from your iPhoto library, drag it to the desktop, and drag it back to iPhoto. The new photo imported has lost its original date, its date is now the importing date.
I don't think that is acceptable.
iPhoto 8 would lose lost of EXIF information when auto-rotating photos, but the date?!

Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried with the File/Export method: the results is strictly identical.
It seems to me that the problems resides in the import of "auto-rotate" photos. As the previous version of iPhoto, iPhoto 09 create a modified version of the photo, which loses all the EXIF information, including the date/time the photo was digitized.
iPhoto still displays the photo with the correct time, probably from the library or the Original file, but when it exports it, the only date remaining is the creation date, which is the import date.

IPhoto 08 not auto-rotating photos in new library

Hello everyone.
I just created a new iPhoto Library on one of my USB hard drives in order to keep the photos for a specific project separate from the mess of my main library. I downloaded around 450 images from my CF card as usual, and much to my dismay I found that the vertical images were not appearing vertical; in other words, iPhoto didn't automatically rotate them.
Unfortunately, I deleted the images from the card so I can't try downloading them again, but I am 101% sure that the orientation sensor and the EXIF data were right because I checked the images on the camera's display several times while shooting, and they looked fine.
I am assuming that I missed something about the new library or maybe I hit some bug. I'm pretty much sure that I have to go through these and rotate them manually as the original EXIF data has been lost (I checked it with Simple EXIF Viewer), but could someone give me a hint about what to double-check in order not to have this happen again?
I am using iPhoto '08 version 7.1.2 (362) on OS X 10.5.1.
Thank you very much!

Hello,
the hard drive has a single HFS+ partition, and I've been using it with iPhoto for a while now. Even though I keep my "current" library on my iMac's internal disk, I move the libraries to the external disk when they start growing too big (ah, if only I had gotten the 500 GB disk at the time; I suppose I break the warranty if I change it myself, right?) and I've successfully accessed libraries from there.
I did eventually rotate them manually by selecting them all at once, but I found that only the vertical ones among the first 300 or so were not rotated; the last ones were rotated successfully. This is really weird.

Why is iphoto having trouble with rotating photos all of a sudden?

i've been using iphoto for a few years. suddenly it un-rotated all of my auto-rotated photos (which screwed up all of my face tags) and now when i upload new photos, if they auto-rotate during the upload they appear in the preview of a whole event, but if i double-click to see a vertical photo, or try to do a slideshow, i get the triangle with an exclamation point in it, indicating that something's wrong with the file. is anyone else having this trouble? or have any idea what to do?
thanks...

I've never used the Flickr feature so don't know if that as any bearing on the problem. if you're satisfied with the newly "fixed" library you can delete the copy of the original library that you made.
However, since you're having problems with rotated photos you might try this and see if the new library has the rotated photos displayed correctly:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
If the rotated photos display correctly in this new library then the problem lies with the orther libraries being damages somehow. You may want to stay with the new library even though the projects, i.e. books, etc. and keywords are lost.
If you have a lot of keywords in your current library and want to move them to the new library you can by doing this:
1 - open the old library and select one photo.
2 - type Command+K to brinb up the keyword pane.
3 - click on all of the keywords that are not blue so that all of the keywords are blue.
4 - export that photo to the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Kind=JPEG and check the two check boxes regarding keywords, locations, etc.
5 - open the new library with iPhoto and import the exported photo from the Desktop. That will bring in all of the keywords so that you don't have to recereate them one by one in the new library.

Mysterious but clever facility on Macbook rotating photos for display.

I have a question that has puzzled me for days and I can't find out how or why the Macbook does this.
I took a photo on my digi camera in "Portrait" orientation or mode in other words I turned the camera sideways on to take a photo of a tall building. When I transferred the jpg from camera card to Macbook desktop the photo thumbnail on the desktop was mysteriously rotated by stealth purely for viewing as a thumbnail on the screen. More confusion followed! When I transfer the same photo to my PC (sorry to use a two letter word!) the photo on the desktop is still in "landscape" mode and opening it in any PC software displays it in landscape sideways on so I have to rotate it and save it in new orientation.
I tried opening the picture on the Macbook using Preview and it appears there, turned into correct orientation (Portrait) but the picture hasn't been rotated by me. Also when I attach the said photo to an email it dumps the picture on its side (un-rotated) so is impossible to view properly by the recipient of the mail unless they rotate the picture in software external to their email client. Or perhaps turn their monitor on its side, or get a crick in their neck
On the Macbook opening the picture using a web-browser it appears the way it is in reality ie on its side and needs turning through 90 deg. But Preview and iPhoto both turn it the right way up for viewing. So the picture is artificially "righted" by desktop thumbnail view; by iPhoto viewing; by Preview viewing, but left in its original orientation for email and webpage viewing.
How does the Macbook know that this is a photo that has arrived on its side and needs rotating to view it, but then leaves the actual physical rotation to us for doing in an external program?
This secret facility did slightly wrong-foot me as I forgot to rotate the picture and added it to an email both by Insert facility and Attach facility and in both instances the photo sat in the email on its side.
My bible "Switching to the mac Leopard Edition" says nothing about this trick of Macs to display unrotated photos in correct view. Can anyone please throw any light on this concept for me?
Thanks in advance

Well the plot thickens a bit here. I managed to get a photo with rotational information built-in, to appear in Thunderbird email the right way up by Rotating Anti Clockwise 3 times. Then when I added the picture to email it ended up the right way up.
So the next day I tried another experiment and I switched off the AUTO-ROTATE setting in the Canon Camera and took a picture in Portrait orientation (turning the camera on its side as usual) I then took an identical photo with Auto-Rotate switched back on. I imported both pictures to the Macbook. I saw that the auto rotate "on" setting picture appeared on my macbook desktop rotated the right way for viewing. The one with auto-rotate switched off appeared on desktop on its side.
Now I went to add both pictures to Thunderbird email by Insert as usual and for some inexplicable reason the odd behaviour decided to cure itself and the auto-rotate photo appeared in the email the right way up instead of on its side, and the auto-rotate switched off photo appeared in the email on its side.
I sent the email to someone who verified that picture one was the right way up, and picture 2 was on its side. So this sounds to me like it's a stupid phenomenon of Thunderbird mail as installed on a mac. There can be no other reason why it behaves one way yesterday and the opposite effect the next day.
So I think my problem is solved now. But I bet the peculiar behaviour returns as this afternoon Thunderbird stopped displaying any cursor when clicking in the text of what I was writing. Something weird going on with that. Exasperating!

Print Module: Auto-Rotate to fit and Photo Info Text

When in the print module with "Auto-Rotate to fit" selected, A landscape images correctly rotates to fit the page, but the text that is selected in the "Photo Info" setting does not rotate. Thus, the text appears along the left side of the image .
Any suggestions to get it to appear correctly on the bottom?
Also, Font size is selectable but not font type.

What OS?

Auto Rotate Disable for Photos ....... Sort-of ..... Trick / Tip

I have many photos and many are in the wrong Rotation in my Ipod and wanted to disable the Auto-Rotate feature but no luck since Apple forgot to Add the feature to turn it off.......(STUPID APPLE) but no worries, Apple will add it to a future update and charge you for it!.
But I have found an easy way to show off my photos in the right orientation and disabling/tricking the feature momentarily and Here is how I do it:
Open the Photo you desire that has the wrong orientation.
Hold the Ipod/Iphone in the orientation where the Photo is in the right Position,( i.e: if your photo is in landscape while holding it in the upright position.).
All you have to do now is, with two fingers touch and hold near the bottom of the screen as close to the edge of the Ipod/Iphone as you can, so you can still see 95% of the Photo and then Rotate to the right orientation and there you go! your photo remains and does not Auto Rotate, keep holding until you have shown the photo to your friends.
All this does is to freeze the photo, simply put, it is thinking you are either enlarging or going to the next photo, it doesn't disable the feature it is simply waiting for you to make a decision.

As of 10.1.2 we no longer talk about "auto-rotate and center". Page scaling for 1-up output is always registered to the center point, and the new dialog only refers to orientation.
Ultimately of you want a page to be printed at 100% physical scale, you need to supply users with a PDF that has the correct paper size and margins wide enough to stay within their printer working zones. In that case, the setting for scale and rotate is meaningless, as "fit", "shrink" and "actual" will all equal 100%. If the paper size matches, rotating a page has no bearing on the X/Y position - it's there to handle cases where the document is portrait but the printer tray is landscape, or vice-versa. If for example you open a US Letter portrait page and "force" it to print in landscape to a printer with a portrait feed tray, it is not rotated and squished into the middle of the page - aside from coming out the machine sideways it'll look no different.

How to make photo auto rotation work?

Ok, I just got an ipod Touch 16GB yesterday and this is my first ever Apple purchase. I saw an iPhone that my friend has and really liked the screen and photo display features. My friend and I are both photographers. So I bought it mostly for its nice display, all other features are secondary to me.
I plugged it in my Dell PC on Windows XP and set it up. Since ipod version 1.1.2 was available and I updated it before I had a chance to use it with 1.1.1. Anyway, after fiddled with it and loaded some images, I was eager to try photo viewing feature. To my disappointment, the photo auto rotation does not seem to work. When I changed the orientation of the ipod, there was no response and no rotation. For some unknown reasons, I could change the orientation for the whole set of images, sometimes 90 degrees or 180 degrees (upside down from original position), but not individual images. I never figured out how I did it. Could someone help me to get this straightened up? Appreciate in advance.

Sounds like you've got some kind of bug in the software or something. The above portion of the quote was really interesting, because i've never heard of it being able to flip the sets of images, only individual ones.

Auto-rotation of photos in iWeb slideshow

HI
How do I make iWeb to auto-rotate the photos in my slideshow. In the template I have both landscape and portrait photos. When I run the slideshow all photos are shown as landscape and thereby crop the photos in a weird way.

Then you'll have to try a different theme or different slideshow application. One that I like that has over 25 animated themes is PhotoPresenter. This demo page has examples of a number of the themes: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes

HT201401 how do i set my phone to auto rotate my photos when i turn my phone around?

how do i set my phone to auto rotate my photos when i turn my phone around?

Try unlocking the auto-rotation. Go to your multitasking bar (double tap Home button), then swipe from left to right. There should be a symbol there that looks like a circular arrow with a lock in there. See if it's 'locked'.

My iphone 4 photo auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. Please advise how to unlock it.

My iphone 4 photo/message auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. This function was working perfectly since day 1.
Please advise how to unlock it.

Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. You will then find the orientation lock in the top row, last icon on the right. White is on, black is off. Tap and turn it off. If you see the lock symbol, then orientation lock is on, and that is what is keeping it in the portrait mode.

How do I "auto shuffle" photos in a table?

Hi!
I have a page of 33 headshot photos. I'd like the photos to "auto rotate" so that the same photo is not always top left, etc.....is there a somewhat simple way to do this? The page I am referring to is:
http://www.arlingtondesigncenter.com/findadesigner.html
Thanks!

You need to type the text in a Textbox, turn off text wrap, rotate that 90° using the Metric Inspector then position it over the cells you want the text vertical.

Rotated photos--fine in preview, wrong in iphoto

Hi,
I've looked through help for this, and can't find anyone with the same problem. Can anyone help?
I imported about 500 photos from my Canon S1 using Image Capture, erased the card, and then found that the camera hadn't auto-rotated the photos (they are all portrait orientation), probably because the camera was pointed straight down.
Anyway, as these are photos of documents that I need to be able to read, I was worried about rotating them because of jpeg loss, so I used a program called PhotoToolCM to do a lossless rotation. The images now have no thumbnail in Preview, but when I open them, they have the correct orientation. However, when I import them into iPhoto, they have the wrong orientation! How do I change this without rotating and saving 500 photos? The problem is not only the waste of time, but also that rotating jpegs in iPhoto causes gradual degrading of the image, which I really want to avoid.
Many thanks to anyone who can help me out!

By reading this Apple kb it would seem that Phototool does lossless rotation by writing to the exif. Any application that is exif aware will read it and rotate the image to be viewed by reading the exif tag. the problems is when an app is not exif aware. It seems iPhoto is not. I just did a test with Photo tool and a jpg and imported it into iPhoto. It imported in unrotated.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302669
The kb is for tiger.
The gist is, if you want all applications to read the photo as rotated you won't be able to do the lossless rotation by writing to the exif tags because not all applications are exif aware.

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.

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?
