Rotating an image issue

I am not a programmer, but am searching for a solution to suggest to my programmer. We have a Flex application that shows thumbnails of .jpg files located in a folder on our hard drive. Some of the photos are not in the proper orientation and need to be rotated by the Flex application. He is not having any trouble rotating the thumbnail in the application, but actually getting the original .jpg file on the hard drive to rotate. Is there any elegant way using Flex to rotate a .jpg file on your hard drive? If not, is there an elegant way to tie another application to Flex that could handle this rotation issue?
Thanks for suggestions!

Hi
SOSv2 ,
This should be fixed in Windows 7 RTM.
Also, you can install Windows Live Photo Gallery to view and rotate pictures as well. To download it, please click
HERE . For more information about Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can
a question on
Windows Live Answers
In addition, please understand that Nikon RAW images (and most Canon) do not support rotate functionality in Windows Photo Viewer, and thus rotate is
disabled. To rotate those types of images, the user will need to use an image editing program that fully supports their RAW codec.
Regards,
Linda
I am using Win 7 x64 Ultimate RTM and still have this problem (with JPG's dumped from my Nikon to the hard drive). Doesn't do it on every one that I rotate, but still very annoying. Is there a fix?

Partial rotation of images when importing...

I'm wondering how to stop Lightroom from "squaring up" my images when I import them. Attached is a screen shot to illustrate.
I also can't find any consistentency, if I import the same image three times it will be as above twice but not on the third time!
I'm wondering if this is a metadata thing?
BTW camera is a Nikon D600.
With thanks in advance,

If this is only happening to a few of the images on import it is most likely something related to your camera. If ALL of the Imported images exhibit the issue then there are two things in LR that could cause this to happen:
1) You are applying a Develop preset on Import that has Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool setting other than '0.'
2) Your LR 'Default Develop Settings' has a Crop Angle tool or Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool setting other than '0.'
To check this import one of the images from CF card that shows the rotation. Examine the Crop Angle tool and Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool settings to determine which one is being applied. From inside the Develop module with the imported image still rotated hit the master 'Reset' button at the bottom of the right-hand Develop panel. This applies your LR 'Default Develop Settings.'
a) If the image is still rotated you may have inadvertently updated your LR 'Default Develop Settings' in the past with the image rotated. To correct this simply hit the master 'Reset' button, reset both the Crop Angle tool and Manual Rotate tools to '0,' go to toolbar Develop> Set Default settings, and select 'Update to Current Settings.'
b) If the image is not rotated you are probably applying a Develop preset that was inadvertently created with the image rotated. You will need to recreate this preset making sure Lens Corrections> 'Transform' is unchecked. This is the only Develop preset setting that will rotate the image as in your example.
If neither a or b fixes the issue you can try resetting your LR Preferences file:

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.

Rotated transparent images Muse CC 2014 not compatible with IE8.... they all appear with a black box behind them.

IE 8 is supposed to be supported by muse CC 2014 but its not in the case of rotated transparent images.. Did not have this problem in the previous version of Muse. The code did not have progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix... now it does...
Had to add ie8 specific css and code to the page and use a composite image instead of the individual images to get a page with no black boxes...

I see this is still an issue even after the latest update.... Will this problem be addressed? Right now I have to manually update the html code for each page after export. This is a site that I update regularly so every time a change is made I have to fix each page so it can be viewed without the black boxes in ie8.

Rotated Text/Images look fuzzy when Published

I've a menu on my site which uses angled text. As soon as I publish this however, the text gets fuzzy edges. I thought I could get over this issue by creating the links in my meny as graphics in PS and importing them as buttons but as soon as I roate them in Muse they get fuzzy edges again.
I havn't made the site live yet as it's in very early design stages.
Does anyone have an answer to fix this issue? Thanks

Thanks for coming back to me! I tried that actually as well. I rotated the images which are the links in PS and then imported them and it works fine from a quality point of view but it introduced another issue. My menu is basically composed of links at an angle as I was saying but I save this as a rectangle from PS and import. Only the centre part of this rectangle has text, the rest is transparent. When I align them all up in Muse, some of the links overlap which causes issues with my buttons. If I roll over one, it activates the one beside it. I couldn't see any other way around this other than to create them flat and then rotate them in muse. Do you see how I can fix this?

Rotating an image and getting back the image...

Hi,
I have a small problem using images...
1. I have an existing image...
2. I need to rotate the image by a certain angle(say 60 degree)....
3. Return the rotated image back to the calling routine...
My problem is that I can rotate the image using the AffineTransform, and draw the image immediately... but I cannot return the rotated image... can anyone help me out on this??????

No sorry that didn't fix it. I forgot to mention that I already have a method in ImagePanel called clearImage()
     * Clear the image on this panel.
    public void clearImage()
        if(panelImage != null) {
            Graphics imageGraphics = panelImage.getGraphics();
            imageGraphics.setColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
            imageGraphics.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
            repaint();
    }But if I clear the panel and then try to apply the function nothing happens. The LIGHT_GRAY background remains.
This is how I apply a function in the class[b] ImageViewer
     * Apply a given function to the current image
    private void applyFunction(Function function)
         if(currentImage != null) {
              if(function.getName().equals("Zoom In")) {
                   Zoom.ZOOMIN_RATE = 1.5;
                   function.apply(currentImage);
              else if(function.getName().equals("Zoom Out")) {
                   Zoom.ZOOMIN_RATE = 0.5;
                   function.apply(currentImage);
              else {
                   imagePanel.clearImage();
                   function.apply(currentImage);    //A function is applied
              frame.repaint();
              showStatus("Applied: " + function.getName());
         else {

Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?

Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?
Bridge 5.0.2.4.

There is an ignore EXIF setting Preferences. I can't remember if that is Bridge or Photoshop, but IIRC it is for DNG files.
Right. Check Photosho > Preferences > File handling and make sure 'Ignore EXIF tag, is not checked. I think that might do it, so long as it refers to sidecare files, because only RAW files would have one.

Rotating Multiple Images in Fireworks

I have my home page designed in Fireworks MX 2004. I'd like
to set a rotation of images (all same size) into my page. Can I do
this in Fireworks?
Previously I used a Java script from another source but after
adding swap image behavior to my menu text my rotation script no
longer works. I don't know Java well so I'm assuming the two
scripts are stepping on each other toes somehow.
Thank you for any input you may have,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Unless you create a GIF animation with the images (not
recommended for
photos) you can't do this in Fireworks.

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.

Does rotating an image several times affect the quality?

I'm using a template for a cd sleeve. One half of it is upside down so to work on the other half I have to rotate the image. I will have to rotate the image a hundred times before the project is finished.
Does this affect the quality? If so, any workarounds for me?
Thank you.

As the previous poster said - use non-destructive transform methods wherever you can. Apart from that, note, that rotating in multiples of 90 degrees does not change the pixels' color and transparency information, as this always coincides with the imaginary rectangular/ square pixel grid and pixels only get re-arranged. Only rotations at different angles will enforce resampling, meaning that in particular edges will be recalculated to keep them visually smooth. Doing this multiple times will result in softening, as the way Photoshop works, it has no knowledge of previous transforms and will apply the full sampling again in a "dumb" manner. Smart objects avoid that limitation, as they concatenate operations, i.e. a rotation of +60 degrees followed by one -20 degrees will be treated as a single 40 degree rotation. Likewise, CS4's canvas rotation, is merely a secondary rotation applied to the screen buffer, not affecting the image itself.
