Rotated photos still in landscape.

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem when I've used the edit option. Photos which I've rotated, cropped or edited in any way appear only as a landscape thumbnail - all squashed up! I haven't tried to print them but when I put them on my homepage they are still squished. Very odd.
Has anybody any ideas how to resolve this?
iphoto 5.0.4
Many thanks,
Tim

Right I'm going to reply to myself because I think I've found a way around it. If I rotate the pictures in the library window and then save them before going into the edit window then they appear as I intended. I can now use the myriad of adjustments. Does nobody else have an issue like this?
Strange.
Tim

  • 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!

  • All my photos sync in landscape mode (even portrait ones) from my Mac IOS 7 on my new iPad Aid. How can I fix this?

    WHen i sync my new iPad Air IOS 7 , all my photos sync in landscape mode.  How can I keep the original orientation of photos? If I edit and rotate, it is saved in camera roll, not in the album.

    Just to conclude, and give hope for any still suffering, I succesfully upgraded my iPAD to ios5 yesterday evening.
    I did have a conversation with Apple support a couple of days agao, in line with many others I was given various reasons why things oustide the Apple environment might be the root cause such as
    - ports blocked on the network I was using (although when I asked which ones they weren't certain - "80 and 442 we think" was the response
    - a fault on the iPAD
    - slow network connection
    The more interesting part of teh conversation was Apple was that the firmware update part of the install actually involves quite a lot of interaction with apple servers. My conclusion would be that the well documented performance problems in the early days after ios5 release were the root cause of my problem - reference to network ports. iPAD faults were just a smokescreen.
    My key learning - don't upgrade soon after a major release, I already knew this but when offered an update I didn't go back and check precisley when it had been released so I should have paid more attention :-)

  • 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.

  • Rotating photos in Photo

    I frequently take screen shots while in Google Maps for use in navigation.
    The problem is the screenshots invariably mount the wrong way in Photo, I.e. In portrait mode instead of landscape. That's one bug.
    Second, Some photos (those imported from my camera for example) can be rotated, but this feature is undocumented in the iPad guide. Just tap the photo to bring up the menu bar and sometime a left pointing arrow, similar to the export icon, will appear. Tap that to rotate ninety degrees.
    Third, I can manually rotate photos in Photo using two fingers. But they invariably snap back to their original orientation. Bizarre behaviour.
    Anyone observed this? Any help rotating photos in Photo?

    I have this same issue with Photos. All of my photos that I have synced through iTunes were correct on the computer. After syncing them to the iPad all of the pictures that were portrait are not any more, hence many of them have to be rotated but there is no place to do that. And, yes I know there is an app for that. The problem with the apps is that when you download them and change a photo it saves a copy so you would have to go through each one and save a copy of it anyway, why can't iTunes just sync them correctly like they were on the computer? I have iOS 4.2.1, you said its possible to rotate them in Photos with this version, How? Thanks for the input.

  • 5230 rotated photos don't save

    I have rotated photos on my 5230 so they fill the screen properly, (landscape to profile etc) but there is no way of saving them after wards,- no save button.
    When you close down and reopen them they have reverted back again to the way they were originally taken.
    Anyone know how to save the change?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I found the answer myself, you have to go to edit image / add effect / rotate and then you can save it.
    Using the rotate function when displaying the image does not allow you to save.

  • How do i rotate photos in mail 2.1.3

    how do i rotate photos in mail 2.1.3   OSX 10.4.11

    I don't think you can. You need to open them in Preview or some other photo editing application.

  • Photos sync OK, but when edited in iPhoto,the original photos still appear.

    Photos sync fine to iPhone. However, if I edit (crop) one of these photos in iPhoto, the unedited version still appears on the phone after resyncing. I have tried unchecking the box next to the photo album, then syncing and pulling it completely off the phone. Then I recheck the box and sync the photos back to the phone. The old, unedited versions of the photos still appear on the phone. What to do?? Thanks for your help!!

    I am exporting as a JPG. I think I figured out the problem. In the old iPhoto I could export from the Edit menu. On this new version, I have click on the Photos button and go back to the screen that shows the whole event and export from there.
    It's a pain and much less efficient but it seems to be working.

    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...

  • How to rotate photos in photostream so they don't show sideways on apple tv

    how to rotate photos in photostream so they don't show sideways on apple tv? i am viewing my photos on my tv and many of them are sideways. how do i fix this?

    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.

  • 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.

  • FaceBook Upload Feature uploads video as a photo still

    Hi all.
    Maybe this has already been widely discussed, but I've only recently upgraded to the latest iPhoto with the direct FaceBook upload button/feature.
    When I try to *upload a video clip shot* with my iPhone from my album/events, it *ended up as a photo still* on my FB page. Is this a bug or a restriction?
    Thanks and cheers

    Dragging the video directly to the Desktop has the same effect.
    Correct. That's why I said
    Select the video in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export *Kind: Original* and export to the desktop.
    When you import a video iPhoto grabs the first frame as a preview and this goes into the Modified folder inside the Library. So, if you drag it to the desktop that's what you get - this preview. You need to export it.
