How do I  a Rotate Photo in Books?

I am not talking about using the Rotate Left and Right Tool which rotates the photo within the photo box 90 degrees at a time. I want to free rotate my photo and the box at the same time 30 to 45 degrees. I know it can be done because I did it accidently once but can't figure out how to do it again. Can anyone help me out?

The answer is "yes", you can. You should use the Straighten tool, but don't try to use it in the Book Layout Editor. Select the photo you want to rotate, press 'F' to go to fullscreen, then press the button for the Straighten tool in the toolbar (or press 'G'). You can then freely rotate this version of the photograph. Keep in mind that you're rotating the version itself, so all instances of that version you use are rotated! Don't want that? Create another version.
Also, you can't use the Crop tool while in the Book Layout. Again, switch to fullscreen using 'F', then click the Crop tool (or 'C').
BTW, you don't have to go to fullscreen, just make sure you're not in any kind of layout editor, otherwise the tools apparently don't work.

  • How do I automatically rotate photos?

    It seems as though in my old PSE3 that it automatically rotated photos and PSE 6 doesn't seem to. Haven't been able to find an option to have it do it though...and ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks. Amy

    You don't need to export anything from iPhoto to edit a photo in Photoshop.
    The images Displayed in iPhoto are somewhere on you hard drive. If you have Photoshop, the real Photoshop, on your Mac then you also have Bridge, it is part of Photoshop used to view images.
    If you have Photoshop Elements then there is a part of that meant to view images and then edit them in another part of that program.
    Open Bridge, or Photoshop Elements, and point it to the Pictures folder under your username.

  • How do I get my photos and books after installing new Windows?

    I installed a new Windows 7 on an SSD to speed up the desktop computer. The new iTunes, of course, was empty. Now I want to sync my iPad with the new iTunes but I'm afraid that I will loose all my books (freely available ones that I downloaded and imported to the media library as well as work related PDFs).
    All the data should be still on the old drive (that still is in the computer) somewhere (so I'm hoping that my problem can be resolved). I was able to find the music but where is all the other data? Can I use a backup made on the old iTunes? Where would I find that?
    When connecting the iPad iTunes says that the iPad is tied to another iTunes database (well, yes, but not by my choosing, would have loved to continue using my old one, thank you) and I either can erase everything from my iPad and start with this one or never ever sync again. So, do I choose the rock or the hard place?
    This restrictive syncing is a real pain in the neck. Have the same problem when I go out to sea (i.e. without internet connection) and my MacBook Pro. Everything from the iPad is erased and replaced by the MacBook Pro contents. If I forgot to add anything to the MacBook, tough luck.
    Anyone who can tell me where to find the documents from iBooks on my old drive and how to get them included in the new system's iTunes?
    Syncing across different devices? No such thing in reality. iCloud sounds great but seems useless...

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases (which should include PDFs in the iBooks app even though they aren't purchases) off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases.
    On Windows 7 your backup should be stored under :
    \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    But without restoring onto a device you probably won't be able to make much sense of the backup files.
    If you want to copy off photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer

  • I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    You can make the collages easily if you have iWork.  Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary.  Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround. 
    If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

  • How do i remove my photo from my Address Book entry?

    two questions: first, how do i remove my photo from my entry in Address Book? i should be able to click "Edit", select my photo and hit the Delete key and be done, but no - hitting the Delete key does nothing except make the photo blink.
    second, i just posted a comment on a web page that i've never been to before, on a site that i've never been to before, and my photo appeared on the web page next to my comment. very creepy. anybody know why this is and how i make it stop? does it have something to do with my Address Book entry?
    update: i've consulted Address Book's help and it tells me to select the card then go Card -> Clear custom image, but when i do, that menu item is grayed out.
    further update: i've worked around the problem by taking a screen shot of a blank white area of a webpage and making that my photo...but i shouldn't have to do that and would still like to know how one actually deletes one's photo from Address Book. Address Book's help indicates that i'll find such photos in Library/Images/People, but there's no such directory in any of my Library folders. Address Book's help is not being very helpful today.
    tia...

    there is actually no way to completely delete an image for you address book entry. you can only change it to something else as you did.
    as for the image on that website, most likely it pulled your photo from your webpage on some site like My Space, Facebook etc. do you have a page like that? some sites will tap directly into your webpage and pull your pic from it.

    I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)".
    All of the photos I'm using have names.

    That same one others seem to have gotten: "Unable to Assemble Book -- There is a problem with the photo with the filename “(null).” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book"
    I've tried restarting iPhoto with the option and command keys pressed, and asking it to repair permissions, but still have the same message...

  • How to rotate photos in albums?

    how to rotate photos in albums??

    yes, i can downloaded the photo(s) and use preview or iphoto ot some other program to rotate each one, but it seems so awkward, inelegant and SLOW, just to take a quick peek at the five separate photos that someone sends.
    is there really not an app or some similar thing to help?  i recall downloaded an app for explorer on windows, to take care of the same problem...

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You'll need an application that edits the pics to do this: Acorn, Seashore, Photoshop Elements, Graphic Coverter are some, but there are many others - search on MacUpdate
    Of course, iPhoto will do this too.
