Screensaver Portrait Orientation

Since updating to Leopard my Portrait (vertical) photos are displayed horizontally. I've searched this forum, googled it, and checked my "Missing Manual" and can't find an help. Can anyone tell me how to correct this so it displays correctly?
Thanks in advance,
John

For ScreenSavers you need to save as JPEGs but your Monitor is almost certainly in landscape format. (A few monitors do allow you to re-orient them and mount them in Portrait format.)
If you want to use Portrait-format images as ScreenSavers you may find that you need to save each image as a landscape shape (1024 x 768 pixels RGB JPEGs) with your photograph centered on a colored or textured background.
(I have not tried using portrait-oriented images as screen-savers so this is just a guess and you will have to experiment to see what works.)
The JPEGs that I have used as screen-savers have always been created in Photoshop and never in either Preview or iPhoto.

  • Screensaver photo orientation

    I love using the random photo screensaver in OS X.  I have noticed that some portrait oriented shots appear sideways in the screensaver.  When I go to them in the finder, they are correctly oriented, as the EXIF data should encourage.  Does the screensaver miss this Nikon D 80 EXIF data?
    Thanks, so much!
    Sincerely,
    ~George

    Which OS are you using?
    I believe that old versions of Windows (XP and earlier) did not understand the orientation flag that is stored in the EXIF data. Most modern cameras have orientation sensors, and the save the orientation when the photo was taken in the EXIF data for the photo (the EXIF data is metadata that is stored along with the photo data in a jpg file).
    Any decent photo browser will understand the EXIF data and will display the photo properly without having to manually rotate the photo. However, if you manually rotate the photo in Windows, the photo data will be rotated, but the orientation flag will not be changed. When the photo is loaded into the iPad, it interprets the marker in the EXIF metadata and rotates the photo a second time.
    I'm not sure that this is your problem, but if it is your problem, then the photo is being displayed incorrectly on the PC, and the iPad is displaying it "correctly".
    If you think this might be the problem, try installing a program called irfanview on your PC. You can download it at: http://www.irfanview.com
    It is a great public domain image viewer program. If you install it, try looking at your photos in irfanview and see if it also rotates your photos like the iPad does.

    p.s. I can understand how what is happening must be annoying. The photo will be displayed incorrectly, and as you instinctively rotate the iPad to fix it, it auto-rotates again leaving the photo always in the wrong orientation.
    My OS is windows 7. So to fix it, I should rotate my pictures in my pc folder in landscape mode so that in the ipad it will be in portrait? As of right now in my pc folder my landscape pictures is in landscape in ipad but my portrait pictures is also in landscape in ipad. And no matter what I do, the portrait ones are always landscape. I've deleted the ipod photo cache and resynced. And no changed.

  • Secondary monitor on 20"iMac, How to set portrait orientation when running

    How do you set the display rotation in Windows XP?
    I have a secondary monitor (wall-mounted at 90 degrees to normal) that OS X handles just fine (the display preference window provides a rotate function). However, when running Windows XP, the secondary monitor is still available, but I can not find a setting that will rotate the display. I downloaded the Apple Boot Camp ATI driver from AMD's site and the driver version went from 8.39 to 8.43. Still no visible way to rotate the secondary display. I then upgraded Boot Camp to 2.1 after which the ATI driver version went to 8.45. Still no rotate functionality.
    I have tried using the ALT-OPTION-ARROW key with no success (recommended on some obscure Windows XP forum). I also downloaded the Apple Boot Camp Crystal Control Center from the AMD site, but it would not execute after installation (this upon yet another obscure recommendation).
    I also have Windows XP on my MacBook. It uses an NVIDIA driver and it will allow display rotation.
    Any help or advice is appreciated.

    Updating my original post:
    I have resolved the issue. The ATI Catalyst Control Center app (I meant Catalyst, not Crystal in my original post) needs Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0, which was not included in my original Windows XP installation.
    After downloading and installing the .NET Framework 2.0 package and reinstalling the Catalyst Control Center app, I am now able to rotate the secondary monitor display to the portrait orientation.
    I use the secondary monitor primarily viewing on-line documentation while working with an application on the primary screen. The portrait orientation provides a much better environment for reading documentation as I can view 2+ pages at the same time.

  • Am creating document with Pages. pages are in "portrait" orientation, but two charts at end need to be "landscape". changing the orientation for one section changes it for entire doc. can i have different orientations in Pages for different sections?

    am creating a document with Pages.  all pages using "portrait" orientation, except 2 appendices need to be in "landscape".  in Word for Windows it is possible to have different page orientations for different sections of a document.  is that possible with Pages.  Even when i put the appendices in a different section, changing the page orientation changes it for the entire doc.

    Make a separate document the size and orientation you want.
    Turn that into a pdf and add it back into the original Pages document or into the pdf from from that document.

  • I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
    I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
    I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
    In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
    But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
    Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
    I don't want to disable portrait mode.
    Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

  • Size of portrait-orientation images in Flash gallery

    I've created a website using Lightroom. It uses the Flash engine with the "Paginate" option. I specified "large" for both thumbnails and images. With the monitor resolution set at 1280 by 1024, there are 200 pictures in the gallery, and these are displayed on the left-hand part of the screen as ten pages of 20 pictures each (4 columns, 5 rows).
    When in gallery view (which is the default) any portrait-orientation images on the right-hand half of the screen are a bit smaller than I'd like; they're the same height as landscape-orientation images. If, however, I switch to the slideshow view, portrait-orientation images are displayed larger, using the available space more effectively. What's weird is that if I switch back to the gallery view, the portrait-orientation images are still displayed as they were under the slideshow. (The same thing happens under IE and Firefox.)
    So, if I run the website without using the slideshow button, portrait-orientation images are one size (too small in my opinion). But if I click the slideshow button and immediately click the same button to go back to the gallery view, the portrait-orientation images are displayed at a larger, more appropriate, size. This change seems to be sticky; even portrait-orientation images that I haven't previously viewed are displayed at the larger size once I've switched to the slideshow and back again. (But refreshing the web page resets everything back to its original state.)
    It's not a great problem, but it's a bit weird.

    (Thanks for the reply and sorry for not responding more quickly.)
    I don't think it's cache-related; I can clear the cache and it makes no difference to the behaviour.
    It seems as if the flash module calculates the best-fit size and gets a different result depending on whether or not I've visited the slideshow view, even though I'm in the gallery view and the amount of available screen space in the gallery view hasn't changed just because I've visited the slideshow view and come back again.
    As I say, it's not a big problem; it's just a bit weird.

  • Help maintaining portrait orientation in PDF

    Does anyone know how I can save my iBook as a PDF and have it open in the portrait orientation? I have tried multiple different templates, but all of them reformat my work and display it as lanscape. Is it possible to open it in portrait? If so can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you this allows my document to be seen in portrait however the document itself is still formatted to landscape.. here is a screen shot below of one of my sample pages in the document.

  • Printing 6 slides per page in Portrait orientation?!

    Hello,
    I have iWork '08. In the past I always printed 6 keynote slides per page, with the page oriented in portrait orientation. However, now it refuses to do that. Even when I have changed the orientation to portrait in the page setup (under 'File'), it refuses to use that orientation when I print. In the print settings I use individual slides, and then in layout I tell it to print 6 slides on a page. At 1, 4, 9 and 16 slides per page, it does use portrait orientation. At 2 and 6 slides per page it suddenly uses landscape orientation. I have checked and checked again, but the page orientation cannot be changed within the print menu. Only in the page setup under file, which doesn't help at all.
    Why does it do this and how do I get rid of it?! I want to print 6 slides on a portrait oriented page!
    Thank you.

    Hi Azoolkool, I figured it out, so here goes: Under Keynote open your file, make sure your View is set up as Navigator view; this way you can see the mini-sidebar on your left side. On the individual slides highlight the slides you want printed by holding down the shift button and click on for example 7-12.
    Now click on File>Print, go to pages and enter in section From: 7 to: 12, Right under this area u should see Keynote drop down bar and on the bottom left area it states: PRINT with some options there, just check off "Individual Slides". To the right of the print section it should state OPTIONS; to keep your slides in color remove the check on "Don't print slide background or object fill". Do check "Add borders around slide" and "Use page Margin".
    Under the FROM and TO page area where you put 7 and 12 in - there is a drop down bar that defaults to Keynote, click on this and go to PAGE ATTRIBUTES to change your page orientation to portrait or landscape. Once done proceed to next step and click on PDF on the lower left hand side and enter into "OPEN PDF IN PREVIEW". It should default to the 7th page as full screen along with the sidebar appearing.
    Now click on File in the preview menu bar and then PRINT - Now uncheck the AUTO RATE and now check the "SCALE TO FIT" - "FILL ENTIRE PAPER". Then below that where it says images per page , change it from 1 to 6 and notice the print preview with six slides on one page. Now hit PRINT on the lower right hand side...
    Hope this helps, I had to learn the hard way today "Trial and Error" as the manual does not state this clearly. Also I'm sure there is a better way but no one has responded yet. Let me know if it works.

  • Portrait Orientation - Pagination / Layout Inspector "Header Height"?

    OK, I started playing with iBooks Author and I've managed to create my first book, with various images and framed text boxes in the page layout. Although this was easily achieved in just a few hours, I note I spent most of the time struggling to get an acceptable Portrait page layout. In the end I gave up and just ticked the "Disable portrait orientation" checkbox, unfortunatly making the book Landscape only.
    The issue is that I was wanting to define the specifc page layout and pagination in Portrait orientation, in the same way that I have done in Lanscape. Not unlike defining your Landscape / Portrait screen layout in developing an App.  The iBook I have ony requires a single page / screen per section.  But it appears that you cannot control the full page layout / pagination in Portrait mode, like you can in Landscape.
    I found the difference in the "Layout Inspector" when switching between Landscape & Portrait to be confusing.  In Portrait a new section comes up with "Header Height", which corresponds to the blue line that appears in the Portrait Book Outline.  I couldn't find any help on this or any clue how I could perhaps use this Portrait Header in trying to create an equivalent single screen page layout in Portrait mode. eg. It doesn't appear possible to either remove the Header altogether, or to use the header area as a full screen sized Portrait page (with effectively no body).  The main Landscape body "shared with protrait layout" text box seems to only want to position below the Header Height line.
    Has anyone had a similar experience with trying to control Portrait page layout, and has found a solution?  For now it looks like I'll need to stick with Landscape only.

    Thanks KT, but no, I'm not forcing a wide single page layout in Landscape.
    After again reviewing the sample "Life on Earth" book, I see that in Portrait orientation the whole book is effectively a continuous vertical scrolling (only) text, with pagination only occuring (being forced) between Chapters (not even between Sections).  Unlike in Landscape orientation, where pagination is forced for each individually defined screen / page, and scolling is horizontal only.
    Based on this, I believe my issue is that the metaphor Apple have used for Portrait Orientation is (in my view) not intuitive, nor consistent with other iPad / iBooks behaviour in Portrait orientation.
    For example, if I open a regular eBook in Portrait mode, I still navigate via horizontal page-by-page scrolling.  If I rotate to Landscape mode, I navigate via horizontal page-by-page scrolling.  Likewise, if I open a magazine App I get horizontal page-by-page scrolling in either orientation, just the layout is rearranged.  Even newspaper Apps I regularly use, which do have continuous vertical scrolling within a single article, still utilise horizontal page-by-page scrolling when moving between news articles (which I would equate to Sections).
    So I think the answer is that Portrait mode is poorly implemented / effectively broken, so "Disable portrait orientation" is the unfortunate correct answer for now.

  • Image size when sharing portrait orientation in CC

    Is there any way to over ride the behavior of CC when sharing images with a portrait orientation? By default it fits the image to the height of the browser window, even when it's expanded to full page. The result is a REDUCTION in image size if you want to share an image that is taller than it is wide.

    Usually Images display "fit to screen" by default in my browser. If I click on an over-sized image, it goes to actual size.
    There I can scroll around. So I'm guessing you want a 100% or "fit width" default?
    Anyway it is the Image > Image Size command that resizes or changes pixel dimensions in Photoshop.
    If you send your images to other users, they can zoom in and out to view no matter the size.

  • Portrait oriented thumbnail becomes Black Exclamation error when clicked on

    After loading in pix from my new Canon G9 (12 megapixel), I can click on landscape oriented photos (from their thumbnails) and they come to full screen display as expected, however all the portrait oriented thumbnails flash up to full screen and then immediately are replaced by a weird big black exclamation mark in a white circle (this is all very blurry and the size of the full screen picture that should have been shown)... it is clearly some sort of error message indicator. I had no such problem with my Canon a710 (8 mpix).
    Note, if I go to full screen viewing mode (by clicking the expander button at the bottom left of the screen) these pictures are displayed properly when I tab through my shots.
    I searched iphoto help for "exclamation" and there is a discussion of a little exclamation error format (tiny compared to what I get displayed) and it signals problems locating the photo, but that is not the problem I have (it is findable, even displays briefly before being replaced by the BIG BLURRY EXCLAMATION IN A TELESCOPE TYPE VIEWFINDER image.
    Any idea if this is a known bug and how do you report such a bug to Apple online?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The size of the exclamation mark doesn't matter, it means the same thing.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
    Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails try Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • Images with "Portrait" orientation are stretched out

    I've taken photos with "portrait" (vs landscape) orientation with my camera then imported them in iPhoto. Then, I've rotated them in iPhoto so that they display with the correct orientation (i.e vertically), and everything so far looks OK.
    However, when I try to build up a slideshow with iDVD, those portrait oriented photos are stretched out sideways in order to fill out the displaying frame (I would have expected them to show as in iPhoto with a black band on each side) .
    I've read in the iDVD Help that this may happen whenever landscape AND portrait pictures are mixed together in the same slideshow. So, I carefully isolated each set of photos but with no success.
    From what I've read in the iDVD forum, it seems that this is a recurrent problem no matter which iDVD or iPhoto version is used (I use iDVD 3 and iPhoto 2).
    Thank for any help.
    1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Well, I tried to use iDVD without reading the tutorial and I confused the drop zone and the slideshow.
    Actually, when you drop more than one photo into the drop zone, the width over the height ratio is determined by the first picture. Whenever the first photo is landscape oriented, any subsequent portrait photo appears stretched out. Conversely, if the first photo is portrait oriented, then the following landscape photos will be squeezed.
    In any case, the slideshow itself is always displayed correctly.

  • Portrait orientation not recognised in Older iDVD project

    I have posted some of these symptoms in various places, but I have had so many issues with this upgrade that I haven't had the time to thoroughly address each on in detail.
    I upgraded ti iLife06 over the weekend and now an iDVD project that I started in iDVD 5 is significantly "messed up".
    Firstly, it cannot find the images in the new iPhoto Library's new paradigm for folder management. So I have to locate these manually. I have tried to point iDVD to both the "Modified" iPhoto Library folder and the "Originals". Not sure which is correct. (I know that some have advised duplicating your old iPhoto library and pointing iDVD 6 to the "old" version)
    Second, after manually locating all of the photos included in the iDVD project, iDVD does not seem to recognise that some of the photos are Portrait orientation. These were automatically rotated by my camera and imported into iPhoto accordingly.
    Does anyone have an idea why iDVD 6 cannot do this AND how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    J.E. Flynn

  • My iPod is locked in the portrait mode, I have the portrait orientation unlocked, I restore it twice but no help.

    My iPod is locked in the portrait mode, I have the portrait orientation unlocked, I restore it twice but no help.

    I'm surprised that the restore does not fix it, which leads me to think that one of two things is going on:
    One, your acceleromter has malfunctioned. The only fix for this that I know of is to take it to a Genius Bar at an Apple Store.
    Two, you might not be holding the iPod Touch properly to make orientation work. You have to hold it vertically when you turn it if you want the orientation to change. The iPod should not be parallel to the ground, but perpendicular.
    Three, you may misunderstand how to manage the orientation function. When you bring up the running apps tray at the bottom, do you see the lock in the middle of the circular arrow? If you do, the orientation is still locked. tap it to make the lock disappear, and then open an app and see if it changes orientation
    See the two images below for locked and unlocked statuses.
