How to have rotating desktop images?

In 10.2.8, I could set my preferences to use images from an iPhoto album as desktop backgrounds that changed on each login. Now that I have upgraded (10.4.3), the "Change picture" command is greyed out when I have any iPhoto album selected.
I am still able to set iPhoto images as backgrounds, but it will no longer allow them to rotate; I have to manually change them in preferences.
Is there a way around this? Thanks.

Hi luneluxe,
Things have changed a little in the new version.
Now the only album that will rotate photos is the one you choose WITHIN iPhoto by selecting the Album and then hitting the Desktop icon in the iPhoto toolbar.
When System Preferences open after doing this, you will see you can now check the box to have a random image at intervals.

How do I rotate an image itself?

I understand how to use affine transforms to rotate an image as I'm drawing it but I need to rotate the image object itself. I cant find anything in the API. Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks.

I meant "How do I rotate an image in java?" I know I can load the image into gimp or whatever and create a new image. But that means my applet will have to download 4 times as many images to the client. I need to rotate an image object itself within java.

Drag the clip from your Event to your Project. Then use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool on the Middle Toolbar to rotate it

You can't with FaceTime. For that you want to use iChat and Desktop Sharing.

How do I rotate the image?

I am using Adobe Photoshop CC and I need to know how to rotate an image.

This is probably more than you ever wanted to know about rotating an image. It is an Information Sheet I wrote and distributed to my students and you may find it helpful.
Three popular methods used to straighten a tilted scene, such as the one shown the first photograph above, are Image Rotation, Straighten and the Level feature in the Crop tool. Each requires you to draw a horizon line or similar reference as a first step in the process, and each produces slightly different result.
Image Rotation*:
1. Choose the Ruler tool. (It is nested with the Eyedropper tool.) Click and drag a reference line as shown in the middle image in the top row above. (The area around the image was lightened and red circles were added for clarity.) Depending upon the subject, the line may be horizontal, as seen here, or vertical.
2. Choose Image > Image Rotation > Arbitrary. When the Rotate Canvas menu appears, click OK. The result will be similar to Fig.1 above, showing the entire image.
Straighten*:
Once again, begin by choosing the Ruler tool and drawing the reference line. A feature was added to the Ruler tool in version CS5 and it appears in the Options bar: the Straighten command. Click on it and the image will be rotated and cropped as seen at the top/right. If you prefer to have the image rotated but not cropped you may either:
1. Hold down the Option key as you click on the Straighten command.
or
2. After clicking on the Straighten command, choose Edit > Undo Crop.
In either case the result will be similar to Fig. 1 above.
The Straighten command, which also appears in CS6, produces a similar image rotation and trims a small amount of picture area as seen in Fig. 2.
The Crop Tool’s Level symbol:
This latest innovation, introduced in CS6, uses a command found in the Options bar of the Crop tool. The equivalent of the Ruler tool is built into the carpenter’s level symbol to the left of the word Straighten in the Options bar. Click on the level and draw the reference line. The image will rotate and the largest rectangular dimensions will be framed by the Crop tool plus, in a shaded area, the part of the image that will be eliminated. This allows you to adjust the image area if desired before cropping the image. The result, before clicking on the Commit key on the right side of the Options bar, appears as seen in Fig. 3.
* When Image Rotation or Straighten is used to tilt the image, each of which also shows blank areas created by the rotation, consider using the Content Aware Fill command,
An oldie but goodie: Crop & Straighten
The image below shows the result when File > Automate > Crop & Straighten Photos was applied to a three-image gang scan. Note that:
1. Each print has clearly defined sides.
2. Each print was separated from the others by at least a half-inch.
This command creates a separate file for each cropped image and leaves the original file intact.

How do you rotate an image in a Slideshow?

DVDSP4 automatically rotates an image regardless. The problem is I don't want it rotated. How the heck do you rotate the image? There is no option in any of the menus or inspector windows I've found.

Guess you have to rotate the image in photoshop..save as a jpg and then import as an asset again.

How do I rotate an image when working in pages/flyers?

I'm making a flyer, and am using a template (garage sale). I have put an image into a text box, and would like it angle it, or rotate it just a bit. How can i do this? I am not trying to flip the image. (There is a bike for sale flyer that has the image rotated just how i'd like it. I would have used that template- except for I do not want the rip-off contact info included in the bike for sale template at the bottom of the flyer.) Any help is appreciated!

drag over the tags > Menu > Arrange > Unlock > Delete
Only the dotted lines between were actually locked. Not hard.
Pages has very logical and well laid out Menus and Inspectors.
Spend a little time looking around. And download and read the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu.

Select the photos you want rotated, open the Inspector (command-4). In the Video section of the Inspector, hover your mouse near the Transform and click show if it's not already open. The rotation setting is in there.

How to have profile thumbnails image appear in a SharePoint 2013 list?

Hello,
I am not using MySites, but have a SharePoint 2013 list with profiles in them. They were imported from Active Directory, where I do have thumbnail images for each profile. I am using SharePoint 2013. How would I get these images from AD

How do I rotate an image in Lightroom Mobile for the iPhone?

Hi,
Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to rotate any images in Lightroom Mobile for the iPhone. The documentation is for the iPad and shows a rotate control on the right hand side of the screen, but no such control is showing up on the phone. I tried various numbers of fingers to just spin the image, but no luck. Can someone please let me know how this is supposed to work?
Thanks!

Hey, thanks!
I had tried forever to figure that out. I could rotate up to about 45 degrees or so, but even that was hard to control.
Thanks for the help.

How do i rotate an image sent from a phone?

my grandaughter sends pics via her iphone & they are always sideways. How do I rotate them?

The file type doesn't matter. You claim to be reading it as a stream of bytes (and that's what you should do), but it doesn't sound like you really are. If you post some code I (or someone else) might help further.

How do I rotate an image in Pages?

When selecting an image that I have imported to a pages document, I can resize it and move it but cannot rotate it manually. The format bar is not highlighting either the floating or inline button. Is there some way to rotate images that I am not seeing or am I doing something wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You can either cmnd-click on a corner box (you'll get the little curved arrow) and rotate it with the mouse, or you can select it and use the Metrics Inspector to rotate it.

How can I rotate an image in iAd by clicking on a button?

I wan't to create a iBooks Author Widget with an image (asset, protractor) that will rotate when I click a button (object).
The rotation angle must be adjustable by a TextField.
Please help me with this, my JavaScripts skills let me a bit down on this...
With Regards, Tom
So, the protractor (in dutch Geodriehoek) must rotate as I click on the button.

Hey Tom,
In addition to the spin action, you can use a bit of javascript to apply a transform to any object on a page to set an arbitrary angle and doing it within a transition, you can smoothly animate the rotation.
Given a page with an object subclassed from view - like your ImageView - and a couple of buttons, you can trap the button taps and within the onViewActivate code look at the current transform (rotation) value of the object and increment it by plus or minus 1 to rotate in either direction.
The increment button would have something like:
this.onViewActivate = function (event) {
          // Code here for the "Activated" event.
     // myView is the outlet name of the object on the page I want to rotate
   var myView = this.viewController.outlets.view;
   var newValue = null;
     // see if the object has any transform (rotation) to begin with
    if (myView._transform == "none") {
        newValue = "rotateZ(0deg)";
    else {
          // parse the existing transform to get the current value
        var start = myView._transform.indexOf('(') + 1 ;
        var end = myView._transform.indexOf('deg)');
        var value = myView._transform.substring(start,end);
          // increment the value
        newValue = "rotateZ(" + ++value + "deg)";
   var myAngleTransition = new iAd.Transition({
        target : myView,
        properties : ['transform'],
        from : [myView._transform],
        to : [newValue],
        duration : [1.5]
    myAngleTransition.start();
and the decrement button would have the same code with "++value" changed to "--value". This sample steps by 1 as well but you can add smaller values to value if you want finer control/
There's probably many more elegant ways to do this but this works none the less.
Cheers,
-Mark
