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?

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.

Saving rotated image without background

Ok I need help....I have rotated an image 20 degrees and would like to save it as a rotated image but whenever I do there is a white background around the image. Look at the image below, I rotated it 20 degrees but when I saved it, it saved with the white background. How can I save the rotated image but without the white background????
(I changed the color so you could see the background)

If your working with one layer (locked background layer), double click
on the layer thumbnail in the layers panel to make it a new unlocked layer.
Then when you rotate the photo, the background should be transparent.
Also to maintain transparency, save in another format other than jpeg, such
as psd, tif, png-24.

IPhoto not saving editing changes:

I am attempting to edit changes in my IPHOTO library and notice that it's not saving everything that I want. It is making some changes i.e. brightness/contract, however sharpness and other editing options are NOT being saved. Very odd, I am wondering if IPHOTO 6 has fixed this problem? It appears others are having this problems with issue as well and no there does not appear to be any concrete answers. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hello, Phez,
It may be that iPhoto's preference file has been damaged. Delete it and see if that corrects the problem. iPhoto will create a new one when it determines that the old one is gone.
Go to YourUserName->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iPhoto.plist and delete that plist.
Also, you should always repair permissions before and after any installations/upgrades. Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility. Select your hard drive's icon by its name, then be sure you are in 'First Aid' and choose 'Repair Disk Permissions."

Iphoto not saving slideshow settings

HELP! I am DESPERATE!!!!! I have been working on a 45 minute slideshow for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party ALL WEEK. Iphoto is NOT SAVING my settings for the transisions between photos or the time each slide plays for. It is happening at random. No one at Apple has been able to help me...as a matter of fact I thought I was going to really lose it for about the 10th TIME when the last guy I spoke to tonight told me that I needed to speak with an IAPP advisor as he could not help me only being a senior advisor. My questions is WHY THE HECK HAVE I NOT BEEN transferred to an IAPP advisor all week when I have been calling them repeatedly trying to get issue resolved. This was the only person who said I should speak to someone in IAPP. I now have only FRIDAY to get this resolved as the party is at my house on SATURDAY!!!!
I know other people have had some similiar problems (glitches) from searching the internet and yet the people I have been speaking with say they have never had someone call up with this problem.....????
Anyone else out there have this problem and find a way to fix it?
(BTW--they already had me go the route of trashing the psist file and some cache file among other things......)

Terence
Thank you for replying. My ranting was just out of utter fustration of literally sitting at a computer since Sunday redoing and redoing everything in order to have try and have a nice slideshow for my parents rather than just dumping a bunch of photos & music into a slideshow. It loses its punch when things don't fall into the proper place or transition right.....
2 things Apple had me do initially:
move a cache file and psist file out of library to desktop and then into my trash (I then did a secure empty trash)
senior advisor tried to have me duplicate the problem while he was accessing my computer---COULD NOT. He said unless I can duplicate for him he can't help me. He also said that he has never heard of anyone else complain of this & has never heard of anyone making a slideshow so big??? Really? It is 45 minutes with 375 pictures. While a little lengthy I find it hard to believe they are not used to anyone makng a slideshow this long.
Anyways later I called back when I felt I could duplicate issue. I spoke with another rep. He had me change ALL SLIDES from 5 seconds to 1 second and unclick default transition thinking that this could be causing the system to keep wanting to ovverride my manual individual settings if I had any slide less than 5 seconds or another transition. However he also was miffed by the "size" of my slideshow and said that Iphoto slideshow really wasn't meant for something of this size and suggested I use IMovie. While I had never used it I tried it. After spending all day getting the photos in IMovie and in same order I started editing the transitions and slide times....well this was no good because if I changed one thing it caused a ripple effect and changed stuff. Sooooooo I called Apple back and spoke with Senior advisor that told me that this is what Imovie does and I really should not use it for what I was trying to do ....he still felt iphoto slideshow was the way to go. So we went back to iphoto slideshow hoping that the couple of small changes the other advisor had me do had worked....no luck. I then decided to try and start fresh with NEW slideshow, new settings and break up my one big slideshow into smaller slideshows & then eventually dumpt into Imovie......No luck. With about 30 photos I noticed it wasn't saving my slide times again or now the speed of transitions. So the bottom line is that there is a GLITCH with iphoto and I have seem similiar complaints on these forums.
I greatly appreciate your suggestion of trying other apps and would definately do that if I had the time but alas the party is tomorrow and I have only today to get it resolved and redone.
Thank You for Your Time

Iphoto not saving edits

I am editing a photo in iphoto, but it's not saving the edit like it says iphoto does automatically. The edited version shows up in the album, but when I click on the photo, it opens to the original, and I only see the edited photo when I click "edit." I have tried exporting it, e-mailing it, everything, and it always just shows the original. What do I do? I need to save the edit!

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Slice and 'saving for web and devices' not saving all images in selected area

Ive designed my site in illustrator and now im using slices and save for web and devices.
When I save a slice as a jpeg or gif it saves the text and but not the background image behind it. I haven't locked the background image and all the content is on the same layer in illustrator so why is it doing this and how can I stop it?
Thanks
James

Thanks for your reply. Yes, my Photoshop CS5 is updated to 12.1. I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and have tried viewing in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome with no improved success.
I have been reading these forums for about 3 hours trying to find the answer to this question but am still at a loss. I have found one article here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7974006/overlapping-image-in-photoshop-splice-how-to-fl oat-with-css
which explains using an "absolute" value in CSS to lock images in place. I'm currently working in Dreamweaver to see if it's a common error in Photoshop when resizing browser but is easily fixed on the CSS side.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

IPhoto does not import rotated images from camera

I plugged in my CF card to a reader and first looked at all my photos. Those that needed rotation I fixed with preview. Then when I opened iPhoto, it didn't recognize any of their file formats. Is there a good workaround?

I would not mess with them on the card - use image capture to bring them to the Mac disk and then rotate the ones needing rotation (and rename, etc) and then import to iPhoto

Iphoto not accepting jpeg images saved using Preview "save as"

I have a number of tiff images on my desktop. Am trying to save them as jpeg images directly into iPhoto using the Preview "save as" function. When I do this, I can find no image in iPhoto. When I "save as" jpeg to my desktop, the jpeg image appears there and I can drag to iPhoto, but this is laborious compared with saving directly. Can anyone help me with this?

TD, thanks for commenting on this, and I think I see your point--I used the wrong term when I wrote "import". However, in Preview there is what I see to be a "save as jpeg to iPhoto" option. Why is this available if it does not work? Or to take it from another angle--what can you do with this option? In the end, I guess my basic question is: Is there a more direct way to get tiff images into iPhoto from the desktop than saving them first to the desktop as jpeg? Apologies for piling question on question.

Iphoto not saving updated library

I've been trying to add my latest photos into iphoto and it copies them all across ok, shows them all in the library and I can rotate them or add titles etc but when I quit iphoto and then reopen it, the library goes back to how it was before and all the latest photos I've just added have disappeared. I've tried it several times but the new photos always disappear. When I first tried to add the photos, iphoto did unexpectedly quit so I don't know whether that's what's causing the problem but I've tried restarting, downloading the latest update and also trashing the plist so that it rebuilds the prefs and even rebuilding the OS 9 desktop just in case that would help but it's still happening. Any ideas? Thanks

Sarah,
Just a question.
Are these images imported into iPhoto directly from your digital camera?
Is the date set correctly on the digital camera?
Are these images imported from a folder on a hard drive?
Were these images taken recently or were they taken a long while ago?
Do you have the Library view set to "view by film roll"
Basically why I am asking this is because if you view by date and film roll, if the images were taken a while ago, or if the camera has the wrong date, you are not going to see them at the top of the library.
They will be placed in a roll in the library according to the date they were taken.
You should however be able to view the last roll of import by highlighting "last roll" in the source column.
other than that, do what Sam says

BUG: Face recognition data not saved to images.

i have the option to automatically save XMP data into the images activated.
so all keywords and metadata changes are not only saved to the catalog but also into my DNG and TIFF images.
now this works fine for everything except the new face recognition data.
i mean the areas (rectangles) where the faces are.
i guess the problem is that the images already contain the keywords (names) of the persons in the images.
what i did was using the rectangles to identify the persons in the images. drawing rectangles around their faces and name them.
this info about the rectangle positions is NOT automatically stored in the image files. not after hours of letting LR run idle.
this info is only stored when i manually save (CTRL+S) the images or do something other to the metadata (like adding NEW keywords to it).
so in short: just adding the face region data (the rectangles) will not trigger the automatic XMP save function when the name keyword was already asigned as keyword to the image.
that´s very bad and must considered a bug in my opinion..
i don´t like to rely on the LR catalog only. it´s unsave even with backups.
i want that the metadata info is stored in the images.
also when i give away my images i want that the metadata is in the images.
that´s why "automatically save XMP" is always active and very important for me.

I don't have any info but repost your original info at this site. Supposedly Adobe reads this and it should not get lost in the clutter I have posted a few bugs there and they were acknowledged but not fixed but Adobe seems to be pretty good at fixing potential data loss bugs/problems which I consider this to be if it is working as you describe.

IPhoto not saving simple edits

I have been using this current version of iPhoto for several weeks with no problems. Yesterday, it stopped saving simple edits even after hitting the done button. For example, I would crop a photo, click done, move onto the next photo and the previous edit would just disappear. It won't save simple enhancements or more complex adjustments either.
I am using iPhoto '11, version 9.2.3. There are no further updates available. I have not added any new software to my computer. I am at a loss. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Iphoto not saving changes

My iphoto5 (5.0.4) has suddenly decided not to to save changes - eg: red eye or sharpening. I make the change, click done - but the saved image then resorts to the original (eg red-eye returned!) Anyone else with this problem, or know how to fix? thanks

thanks for responses! I tried phone support, but got nowhere - the guy I spoke to said he had not heard of the problem. I went to Apple shop in regent street - they suggested: first to delete i.photo preferences, then to create a new account (to see if the problem is with the soft ware or on the hard-drive) - and then if problem shows up on soft ware, to re-install i photo from the start up disc 1. I have not done any of this yet - but will give it a go. maybe of use to you too.

Machine name not saved after image

Can't seem to see the workstations I imaged in zenworks. I have reimaged
and renamed some machines and can only see the old name in zenworks and
not the new name.
Example
If the workstation name was NOVELL-1
and I reimaged it and renamed it NOVELL-ONE
I can only see the NOVELL-1 in zenworks and can't do a thing to it
because it does not exist. I can't see the NOVELL-ONE workstation in
zenworks at all. And if I try to reimage it it never saves the name and
ask's me to name it again. I'm lost, I thought it saved the name in the
same place it saves the things like "last image path".....
