Photos auto rotate?

I've noticed that large photos (k-size wise) seem to rotate to their original ratio when I click to enlarge. Here is what happens;
-the photos natural position is sideways (because that's the way the camera was when the photo was taken)
-I rotate the view from in the library view, and it looks good
-I double click on that same photo to enlarge and it returns to the sideways view (and stays there when I return to the library view).
It's worth noting that this only happens on the photos my father-in-law took with his super-nice camera. Is it the size of the photos that make them return to their original view ratio?
Thanks!

Here's the rebuild info incase you want to try it...
Try this:
Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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'.

  • Auto rotate photos

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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
