Squat photos in portrait in Literoom 4

DECEMBER 2014
PROBLEM WITH PORTRAIT IMAGES IN L.ROOM 4
PORTRAIT JPEG IMAGES ORIGINALLY IMPORTED IN CORRECT POSITION I.E "UPRIGHT".
Out of an import of 416 images altogether, Most Portrait images (but strangely not all) have simply change into the Landscape position which results in all affected Images printing up as distorted squat images (as you would experience in a Fairground Hall of Mirrors.)
In a series of approx 5 Portrait Images, each and every images changed positions one by one before my very eyes. With the net result as detailed above.
There has to be a logical reason for this out of the blue phenomena, I fear that unless I can get to the bottom of this (hopefully temporary) blip, this problem could continue in the future imports of other Images.
P.S We have closed down the Program/Computer and effectively rebooted with no affect to date.

There is. Orientation metadata in source file is not compatible with Lightroom.
PS - the orientation changes for the same reason other things change after importing - Lr first shows camera-created jpeg, then re-rendering based on metadata interpretation and default settings...
So, to solve the problem, consider:
* checking camera vendor for upgraded firmware.
* if you used pre-import software, report problem to software vendor.
* if you did not use pre-import software, then report problem to camera manufacturer.
* if camera manufacturer insists the problem is Lightroom, then report problem to Adobe here:

In the mean time, the solution probably involves exiftool, probably a command like:
"/path/to/exiftool" -orientation="TBD" "/path/to/my/file"
where TBD stands for to-be-determined
exiftool is readily findable for download from Phil Harvey using internet search.
When you determine the proper command, please post it here. If you can't determine the command, post a link to a sample file, and maybe somebody will help..
PS - consider checking whether Lr5 has the problem too. Also, in cases such as this, it's good to specify make & model of camera, and operating system etc.

How do I turn a photo to Portrait?

Hello,
I've been using iWeb to create my new site. Everything has been going well, except when I create a photo page, my photos are inserted in "Landscape" even though in iPhoto I had already turned the photo to "Portrait".
Can anyone assist in how I can turn the photos on to their side in iWeb? (or doing something in iPhoto first to ensure that settings are carried to iWeb with the photo)
Thanks
Sascha

Workaround: drag the photo out of iPhoto onto the desktop first, then drag into iWeb.

All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

Thanking you in anticipation!

I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module. Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.

I am using elements & premiere 12 on my PC using windows 7. My problem is that photos in portrait view in slideshow are OK but when I move the slideshow to premiere to edit included video the portrait photos turn side-on and stretch when still in portrait view. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Any comments would be appreciated.

What is the Output option that you are selecting for the transfer of the Elements Organizer 12/12.1 slideshow to Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Editor?
If you are using Edit with Premiere Elements output option, are you using the Premiere Elements command to break apart the Elements Organizer slideshow and then applying rotation to the portrait files? Or, it is this more than just a photo rotation matter?
More on this in the morning.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Photo orientation (portrait/landscape) differs between PC and Apple TV

Hi,
I have several pictures that have the correct portrait orientation when I watch them on the PC (with applications: PhotoShop, PaintShop, IrfanView, ...), however they are displayed in landscape on Apple.TV, resulting in a 90 degrees rotated picture on the TV screen.
Can anybody help?

I don't know if this same solution can work in Windows, but on my iPhoto app, I noticed that the offending photo was not displaying exactly right on my computer. Either the aspect was distorted or the thumbnail orientation was one way and the actual picture (when clicked on) was the other way. So, I re-rotated the photo until it showed up the way I wanted and then resync'd with the Apple TV. That worked for me.

Smart albums based on photo orientation (portrait or landscape)

Is it possible to use orientation of the photo (portrait or landscape) as a criteria for a smart album? I couldn't find a way to do this. I'd like to create a smart album of all landscape photos and use that album as a source for desktop background and screensaver.
Thanks,
Zoran

Actually this IS possible in iPhoto '11, just not immediately obvious as to how. Assuming all your photos are digital and contain metadata relating to the orientation:
Create a new Smart Album with the following setting:
Field: Select the "Any Text" option (second in list)
Matching: Select "Contains" option
Value: Type "Portrait" into the keyword box
Click OK and your done.
Substitute Portrait for Landscape if you want a landscape Smart Album.

PSE9 - how to create photo calendar portrait A4

How do I create a photo calendar orientated in portrait A4 rather than the available landscape orientation? I have Photoshop Elemenst 9. Thanks!

When you choose Print locally by default the size is of A4 paper size so you do not have to worry about the same. Also the calendar is created in the Portrait except for 1st page which is landscape as it is the start page kind of.
Here are the links for more understandign on how you can create a photo calendar using PSE:

How to print photos in portrait and landscape from mobile phone

Hi there,
Have just set up my new HP Envy 5532 printer and am having a few issues with printing photo's from my mobile phone.
Could someone please let me know how to choose between portrait and landscape. Also, when I print photo's from my laptop, the settings let me choose which paper size to choose - does anyone know what a 6' x 4' print setting is?
Thanks so much and I hope I have made some sense with my questions!

Hi @Monkey-Nicks,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you would like to learn how to print pictures on your mobile device to your Envy 5532 printer.
You didn’t mention whether you are using an Android mobile phone or an iPhone so I’ve included the document for each operating system. If you would like more print options than what you currently have available, I would suggest downloading and installing the HP ePrint app. It gives you the type of options that you are looking for.

Review Widget Error with Portrait Photos

When previewing my review widgets on the iPad, all of the questions with photos in portrait orientation are messed up even though they look fine when viewed in ibooks author. Even when I delete the photo completely and just have the words, it is still goofy. However, the landscape oriented photos and questions are all normal. In fact, so far all of the other multiple choice formats seem to work fine. Is there anyway to fix this without having to use all landscape photos?

The error still shows up even when exporting it as an ibooks file and syncing with iTunes. In fact, the book behaved as if it was no different from the preview book keeping all of my notes and even opening to the same page I had bookmarked in the preview version.

Photo Landscape versus Portrait Orientation Anomaly

I took 2 photos in portrait orientation (long side vertical, i.e., "oriented vertically"). I viewed these in Adobe Bridge CS3 and of course initially found them to be lying on their side, oriented horizontally. I used the button visible on upper right in Adobe Bridge that shows a partial circle and arrowhead to change the orientation of the photos to be oriented vertically. I opened these in Photoshop CS3 and they displayed correctly oriented vertically. I tweaked them and saved them, thinking that they must now be correctly oriented vertically, as they displayed correctly both in Bridge and in Photoshop. However, when these are viewed in a web browser (Mozilla or Internet Explorer) they display incorrectly, horizontally oriented. I know this must have a ridiculously simple explanation and solution, but it is not apparent to me how to tell Bridge or Photoshop to orient the photo in default orientation as it will be viewed in other non-Adobe programs. Where is this information stored and how can I correct it? This seems to be an undesirable behavior, as a user can be unaware that the image is not correctly rotated.
Thank you.

Thank you Curt for your helpful answer.
This topic remains confusing but here is what I have found:
I am examining 2 copies of an image:
a. an original image which appears unrotated in Bridge and Photoshop and a browser (i.e., appears wider across than in height) which I'll call "Original".
b. a modified image which appears oriented in portrait orientation in Bridge and Photoshop (rotated from the original) but oriented in landscape orientation (unrotated) in a browser, which I'll call "Anomalous"
(1) In Bridge, I was previously not displaying the "Orientation" flag. I have turned this on as you have suggested. This flag reads:
Original: Normal
Anomalous: Rotate -90 degrees
[This is certainly a helpful indication that the image is being displayed as rotated, though you have to hunt for it.]
(2) In Photoshop CS3, I read the following relevant "File Info" metadata, none of which I can modify:
Original image:
   Camera Data 2 > Pixel Dimension X: 2592 [largest dimension]
   Camera Data 2: Orientation: "Normal"
   Advanced > TIFF Properties: Orientation: 1
   Advanced > EXIF Properties: PixelXDimension: 2592
   File > Page Setup > Orientation: Portrait
Anomalous image:
   Camera Data 2 > Pixel Dimension X: 2592 [largest dimension]
   Camera Data 2: Orientation: "Normal"
   Advanced > TIFF Properties: Orientation: 1
   Advanced > EXIF Properties: PixelXDimension: 2592
   File > Page Setup > Orientation: Portrait
In other words, I can find no imbedded metadata item in the image as Photoshop reads out the metadata that indicates the state of the rotation flag that Bridge has modified.
Given the available and somewhat discordant findings so far, it appears that I'll have to adjust the rotation of the rotated image in Bridge back to "Normal" first before opening and rotating the image in Photoshop. This seems to be the only way I can find to set the orientation flag to "Normal" in Photoshop, so that the image will open both in Photoshop and in a browser to the proper orientation.
Are you aware of how Photoshop might explicitly display the value of the Bridge-altered orientation flag?
Thank you again.

Iphoto download problems for 'portrait' view photos

Hi all, I have a Nikon D300 dslr camera and am having trouble downloading photos to iphoto which were shot in portrait. All photos shot in landscape view work fine. The photos in portrait view show as 'unrecognised file' any ideas out there? Many thanks, Beniphoto download problems

What version of iPhoto?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Printer properties continue to show HP photo paper, despite Preferences being set for Automatic.

Yesterday, while attempting to print a Word Perfect 5 document (my word processing app), the printer( HP Office Jet 6500 E709) operated, passed the paper through and made the printing sounds, but no ink was applied to the paper. I thought perhaps the cartridge had run dry, although I usually get a warning and then can visually see from the finished print job when the ink cartridge is empty. My PC is running Win XP Professional, and the printer has never been a problem. I installed a new Black cartridge and successfully printed off a test page. Still could not print the WP document, or any other document from "my documents" file. Tried the "copy" function and the printer worked fine. Still no document printing. Printed a Yahoo e-mail using the "print" option at the top of the message, and the printer worked fine. When printing from that icon, I got a pop-up display with a menu option labeled "preferences." This is the standard routine when printing an e-mail. I clicked on preferences saw that they were set at automatic, portrait, and color. I changed color to Gray Scale, black ink only, and the page printed properly. This has always been the routine, whether printing an e-mail of printing a document. Then I went to my WP document and hit the printer icon on my task bar and got a different pop- up display. In this display there was no "preferences" option, only a "properties" option. When I pressed that button I saw a setting that said HP Photo paper, portrait, grayscale high quality. I changed the paper type[ to "automatic" but cold not change the color option to black ink only. I closed the menu and attempted to print. No ink. I repeated the steps and discovered that the properties had reverted back to HP Photo Paper. I attempted to print from the File menu and by using Cntrl P. Neither option worked and the "Pproperties" continued to show HP photo paper, even though I changed it after each failed attempt and the hopper was full of white ink jet paper. I deinstalled the HP printer and reinstalled it using the original discs. Since the reinstall, the preferences are set as desired, and remain that way every time I chack them. I can print a test page, copy and print email. However, when printing from the print option in File, the task bar printer icon or Cntrl P, the pages continue to be processed but no ink is applied. The pop-up menu that appears when using any of these commands always contains the term "properties" and those properties always show HP photo paper as the stock being used. Regaerdless of how many times I correct the paper type, the entry reverts to HP photo paper after each attempt at printing.

I have the B8550 too, and I just assumed that since it's a fairly high-end printer, it would support the highest-end HP photo paper (i.e., Premium Plus). However, the manual states:
HP Premium and HP Premium Plus photo papers are not supported with this product.
Now, I don't know if that means you shouldn't use it, or that the advanced features won't work, or ??? Or if you should use it, what settings to use (since that type of paper is not listed in the options on the drop-down menu.) I have used the Premium Plus Soft Gloss without any problems. But HP seems to think that the highest quality paper you can use with this printer is "Advanced," which is their third-grade paper. Not exactly what I'd expect from this type of printer.

Recognising portrait orientation in JPG files

Some programs, e.g. Adobe Bridge CS3, seem to be able to recognise whether a JPG file is of a photo in portrait or landscape mode and display them as appropriate. Other programs, in particular the Screen Saver, don't seem to have this ability. I therefore use ImageJ to rotate files with portrait format and then save them again, so that the Screen Saver also displays them with the correct orientation.
I thought I should be able to automate this process for selected folders using Applescript. However, looking at the info displayed by the Finder for JPG files, I don't see any difference in the properties between rotated and non-rotated portrait layout photos.
Does anyone know how this property is stored? Is there more EXIF data hidden away somewhere?

Comparing photos store by my Canon iXus 60 with those from a friend's Casio camera, I see in the Inspector More Info data that the Canon seems to store more information about the photo, in particular it has (for a portrait photo) a field... [snip]
That's because the iXus has an orientations sensor within it that detects the orientation of the camera and can record that alongside the image. The Casio (like most cameras) doesn't have an orientation sensor, so it is unable to determine which way up the image was taken.
returns Orientation 1 (Normal) for both a normal landscape photo and one taken upside down.
The sensor is likely detecting offset from horizontal. Since right-side-up and upside-down are both, essentially, horizontal, they're both recorded the same way (few people take pictures upside down )
Holding he camera at about 45° brought Orientation 1, in one case, and Orientation 6 in another.
That's probably because you weren't quite at 45 degrees on the first shot.
As for the script, since that data is stored in the EXIF data, it should be possible to extract it via Image Events, so a slightly puffed-up version of my script should be able to orient it correctly.

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.

Making a photographic book in landscape and portrait mode in iBooks author

Hello, I am making a photographic book with the iBooks author and I have a problem that I cannot resolve. The book is only with photos, without text and I am putting every photo on a whole page. I made around 15 pages in landscape orientation and now I want to make the same thing with the same photos in portrait, but I don't know how to arrange the photos to match when the ipad is flipped. The whole idea is that I want people to see different crops of the photos when they flip the iPad. I hope that you understood me and will eventually come up with solution... Really thanks!

Hi user_1,
If you are looking to reshape the graph based on whether the user has selected portrait or landscape mode, you could use a property node for your graph that executes in the same case as the print orientation, in which you reshape the graph using plotareasize or another property. I've attached an example of this.
Hope this helps!
