Thumbnails Need Rotating

After my import to the photos library, a large number of my thumbnails need to be rotated into the proper orientation. Does anyone have a quick solution for this, or do I have to edit every thumbnail with this issue.
Thanks.

You can select several thumbnails at once in the "All Photos" album and rotate them at once by pressing ⌘R or ⌥⌘R.
The commands are in the Image menu, when photos are selected.

How come my iPhoto faces thumbnails are rotated 90º?

Hey guys,
I just recently rebuilt my iPhoto library. Now, my photos that were scanned in by hand have a problem with the rotation.
First off, I can understand that they're not rotated at the right angle.
However, I can't understand what's going on with the next problem.
Faces are being detected in the wrong spot! For example:
Clearly, the two people identified are not in the right spots. (Names blurred for privacy; two people being recognized are the mother and the older son.)
I have to go in, manually rotate the photo to the correct orientation, hit the left or right arrow key (to save it), and then come back to the photo before I am able to see that the faces are identified in the correct position.
However, yet another problem crops up. After doing all the aforementioned things, to get Faces to recognize the faces properly, when I exit the editing or info view, the faces which had the rotation issues are now rotated.
I don't know how to fix this one, though. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

i have a folder called ictures" in it i have 4 folders: "pictures in the US" , "pictures around the world", "pictures with friends" and "pictures with family".
if you go to "pictures around the world", you will be exposed to a bunch of folders: "europe", "africa", south america"... and more. click on "south america" and you will get "peru", "bolivia"...
...click on "peru" and it will give you more subfolders: "lima", "cusco"...
click on one of them-u will get a bunch of photos in that specific destination.
why do i need this order? cause i dont want my photos from africa, to get mixed up with photos from the middle ease, or europe..
Wow, that is a LOT of work to get them organized into individual folders like that.
When you organize them in folders, what if a photo fits in more than 1 category such as Bolivia and 2009 and family?
You have to duplicate it and put it into three different folders.
And you can't really see the photos except as a thumbnail in the Finder.
This is what the metadata is good for. Using keywords, events, albums and smart albums and such to very easily organize everything.
iPhoto and iTunes are both managers of the data so you don't have a zillion different folders and wonder where you put that photo of your dog.
Using iPhoto, to see all photos from Aftrica, just type Africa.
Want only Lima, just type Lima.
How about family pix in Luxembourg in 2008? Just type the keywords.
Looking through folders, you'd be digging for a while and everything would be in different folders and then what?
But if that works for you, okay.
I'd rather enjoy looking at and doing something (printing/emailing) with the photos than spend time organizing/figuring out where everything is.
Good luck!

[Developer Insight needed] Rotation Settings File ...

Here we go, I have a N8 and an E7 and when disabling the rotation sensor, on my N8 the whole UI gets locked to portrait orientation. This is extremely annoying for sleeping screen and caller screen in my car, when the N8 is oriented the way the E7 is when landscape with the keyboard slided out.
I need to know, wether it is because of some hardware setting in the sensor that I cannot have the N8 in landscape locked or if it is some file that is different on E7 than on N8 and where it is located so I can mod it.
This makes no sense to the enduser and needs to be fixed. Give us the possibility to have lockscreen, sleeping screen and caller screen in landscape as well. The UX is already working for it, I have seen it on a C6-01 sporting S^3 where it stayed in landscape due to a bug.
So what's this all about?

Ok. So here is my current .bat code:
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32frun60
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32gui60
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32oin60
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32nmp23
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32netclt80
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32tcp80
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32Tracesvr80
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32ssf60
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32rsf80
orainst /silent /prd nt.prd /rspsrc response.rsp /install w32tutil60
The installer starts up, says "analyzing dependencies" and "preparing to install" then just stops. I'm scratching my head here. This batch script seems to begin the installation (or at least it gets further along in the installation process than my previous attempts), then just craps out. It even creates the C:\orawin6i home directory that I want, and adds some files to it before quitting.
Is there an order in which the components must be installed to work? Are there files upon which the proper installation is dependant? Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks again for your help.

Thumbnail image rotation

I have been allowing PSE8 to rotate my .jpg and .tif images based on the orientation metadata. When viewing the images in other apps (Windows Media Center for one) the images are, of course, not rotated.
Next, I turned off the feature to rotate them in PSE Edit/Preferences/Files and plan to rotate them in PSE so they show up right in all applications. However, after turning this feature off, the images still appear rotated in the PSE organizer. I tried refreshing the thumbnails, but that didn't correct it. I can rotate left, then right, and it seems to fix the problem in other programs, but this makes it difficult to verify which ones have actually been rotated because they all look the same in organizer.
Isn't there a way to refresh the thumbnails to see which have been actually rotated and which appear rotated based on the old setting?
Thanks,
...Rich

Barb,
Thanks. It is helpful to be able to search on the orientation data to select all portrait photos, but I haven't found a way to isolate those that haven't been (or have been) rotated. The pixels vary quite a bit, so searching on the number of pixels doesn't work. If one could search using a comparision, say width is less than height, that could work, but I don't see how to do that.
The BEST way to do this would be to find a way to update thumbnails to show orientation based on current setting to not rotate based on the metadata.
A related question. When one rotates a .jpg, does it lose quality? If I have to rotate left, then right to get them actually rotated, will the double rotation even further degenerate the quality?
Thanks,
...Rich

Thumbnails need a new home and name!

Hello world. I am trying to figure out two issues im having.
1. i need to have the thumbnails save to a diffrent directory. they now save in the same directorey as the large image in a folder called thumbnails. I need them to save one directory back and in a folder called thumbnais.
2. i need the thumbnails to save without the size being apended. so image_50_50.jpg should be image.jpg.
Please help a brother out. I have looked throught all the dependent files and scripts i can think of but cant figure out how to make this work or where the code is for me to mod.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ryan,
while the first "saving to a different directory" issue may be tricky to solve, the other one should be much easier:
1. open the file "includes/tng/triggers/tNG_DynamicThumbnail.class.php" and scroll down to the very last function named Execute()
2. in here you´ll see two instances of the variable $thumbnailName with slightly different values, but which all have the image width and height embedded in the to-be-generated thumbnail name.
Please try with modifying the two variable instances as mentioned next, and please backup the original file first
instance 1
before:
$thumbnailName = $path_info['filename'].'_'.$width.'x'.$height.(isset($path_info['extension'])?'.'.$path_i nfo['extension']:'');
after:
$thumbnailName = $path_info['filename'].(isset($path_info['extension'])?'.'.$path_info['extension']:'');
instance 2
before:
$thumbnailName = $path_info['filename'].'_'.$width.'x'.$height.'_w_'.$hash.(isset($path_info['extension']) ?'.'.$path_info['extension']:'');
after:
$thumbnailName = $path_info['filename'].$hash.(isset($path_info['extension'])?'.'.$path_info['extension']: '');
Cheers,
Günter

Need "Rotate" Function in Photo Gallery

All of my screen grabs end up 90 degrees rotated in PhotoGallery. There is no rotate function in Photo Gallery so to deal with these images I first open them in Adobe Editor on iPad and rotate them then save them to PhotoGallery.
Is there a better way to do this?

To the example that you have linked to above, make the following additions
<div id="arch-container" style="position:relative;">
<div id="arch-img" style="position:absolute; top: 170px;"><img src="images/arch-img.png" alt="arch_img" width="959" height="195" /></div>
</div>
I have used inline styles to make it easy on myself, but in reality you would put the style rules in the corresponding element selector in the CSS. Also, you would readjust the values to suit.
Also, it is worth mentioning that placing a width and height on your image as you have done, should really be done using CSS.
Added:
As a side note, I have gotten into the habit of using classes for all of my style rules. I came to the conclusion that this is the way to go when trying to analyse a problem within my web page. ID's are unique per document and as such are used when manipulating the DOM using JavaScript. Now when I see an ID in one of my documents, I know that it is not a styling matter as in CSS, but a problem within my script.
Take the above note as a thought, because there is a ongoing debate about this.

IPhoto rotates images in slideshow even though the thumbnail for that images has the correct orientation.

This problem seems bizarre to me considering iPhoto 11 has worked with out a hitch since I upgraded from 09 ages ago. The photos in my album suddenly changed orientation from landscape to portrait and vice versa and sometimes upside down. I first notice this problem after I tried to click and drag a large number of photos directly from iPhoto to Finder. I did a Command-A to highlight all the photos from my album and tried to drag them to a folder in Finder. There are 34,000 photo in this album but only half were copied, (I guess 34,000 items is too much for Lion to copy all at once). I tried fixing this orientation problem by highlighting all affected photos and selecting "Revert to Original" which fixed the orientation of the thumbnails. But when you double click on a thumbnail to view the pictures or view the album in a slideshow, some of the pictures still have the incorrect orientation but most were corrected. Also if I double click on an affected photos to edit it with iPhoto image editor the image suddenly orientates itself correctly. Then as soon as I close the image editor and view the photo or start a slide show it's displayed with the incorrect orientation again. How is that possible that all my thumbnails are orientated properly but when I view the photo it's rotated sideways or sometimes rotated upside down? Any help or insight to my problem would be much appreciated.

Revereting to original will not fix the problem. When you invoke that menu option iPhoto will read the file again, see the tag that tells it to rotate the file and will rerotate it.
The most reliable way to fix this is to rotate those file before they are imported into iPhoto. Upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop, rotate those that need rotating, rename if desired and import. I use Xee for that because it can rotate the file losslessly.

Iphoto thumbnails rotation

Ever since I have updated iphoto a number of my thumbnails are rotated in the incorrect orientation.
I do find iphoto very slow and processor intensive. What the **** is it doing in the background.
How do I turn off faces??

You can't turn off Faces.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Rotate Photos Before Or After Importing To PC? Videos Won't Play On PC!!!

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5, before that a 3GS, and I've had NOTHING BUT FRUSTRATION with my photos & videos.
Well I'll get to my other complaints below, but for now; is it best to rotate the photos before I import to pc? If not do I correct the rotation in the import software (scanner & camera wizard etc), or shall I wait to rotate my 10,000 photos once I get them in my pc's final folder? Note not all 10,000 photos need rotating.
MY OTHER FRUSTRATIONS....I still have ALL my photos & videos 10,000 of them still on my camera roll, because I'm afraid the import may not be good, WHY???????.........WELL....Some of them would not import properly.........AND...THE DAMNED VIDEOS I just can't seem to get them to play on my p.c.
MY PC is old, but has 1 GB Ram and a 1.04 AMD Processor, with an older graphics card, but cost me $500 10 years ago, the motherboard is a nice one but is 8 years old, my p.c. is non-propietary.
WHY WON'T MY VIDEOS PLAY ON MY P.C......
AND AT WHAT POINT DO I SPEND THE HOURS & HOURS ROTATING MY 10,000 PHOTOS BEFORE IMPORT, WITHIN THE IMPORT PROGRAM OR AFTER I IMPORT THEM INTO MY PERSONAL FOLDER?
All I get from Apple is that it's something to do with me removing all the photos from the camera roll then putting them back on the phone in the photo library?
WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED?
DO I NEED A NEW COMPUTER?
WHAT ARE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS?.........I THINK I MEET THEM
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without knowing exactly what happens when you try to play a video, close all apps and reset your iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
IF that fails to help, and it very well could, you should describe what is happening so that more specific suggestions can be offered.

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!

Grey or pale thumbnails

This is strange. I have just scanned some old black and white pictures. The thumbnails, or at least most of them, have become greyed out/pale...as though there is a semi-transparent mask over them. In fact they look solarised.
If I size the thumnalis so I can see 1 only, it is normal for a second then masked; if i size them so I can see 9, one remains normal, the other 8 are masked...the normal one becomes masked if I scroll and another one becomes normal. With 36 thumbnails visible they all look normal.
This has never happened before. All my other rolls view as usual, including B/W photos. Revert to original does not help.
If I open the original from the finder with preview it is normal.
Am I missing something?
Mike

Hi don,
It seems you deleted files that contain a certain size/sizes of thumbnails needed by iPhoto.
i suggest you rebuild you iPhoto Library folder choosing the option to rebuild the thumbnails.
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.
iPhoto 4 or later: Rebuilding the iPhoto Library
Also it is a good idea to be very very careful when using another application to browse the iPhoto Library folder.
I suggest you set up PS to be an external editor within iPhoto, so all editing done with PS within iPhoto will reflect within the iPhoto Library if done correctly.
This next info is for iPhoto 6;
From the iPhoto Help menu;
"Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in iPhoto's edit view, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application.
To choose a preference:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
Click General at the top of the Preferences window.
Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
"In main window" opens the photo in the main viewing area.
"In separate window" opens the photo in a separate window.
"Using full screen" opens the photo in full-screen view.
"In application" opens the photo in another application you choose.
To open a photo in its own window when "Main window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
To open a photo in edit view when "Separate window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
Note: Any video clip you imported into iPhoto will always open in QuickTime Player when you double-click it."
And...
"Editing photos in another application
You can do many editing tasks in iPhoto, such as rotating and cropping a photo, changing a color photo to black and white, adjusting exposure and contrast, and reducing red-eye. If you want to make other changes to a photo, you can open it in another image-editing application, such as Adobe Photoshop.
To edit photos in another application:
Set your preferences to open photos in another application when you double-click them or click the Edit button. (See Related Topics below.)
Double-click the photo to open it in the application.
Edit the photo and save it using the same name and file format.
The changes you made to the photo will be visible when you return to iPhoto.
IMPORTANT: When you double-click a RAW-format photo, iPhoto creates a copy of the photo in JPEG format, which opens in the other application. To edit the photo in its original RAW format, drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the Finder, and then use the other application to open it. (If you previously used iPhoto to edit the RAW photo, select the photo and choose Photos > Revert to Original before dragging it to the Finder. This way, you can edit the photo using its RAW data in the other application.) If you want to import the photo back into iPhoto, you must first save it as a JPEG or TIFF file."

Rotation Lost by iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD

I have never had any problems with iPhoto until I recently upgraded to iLife suite and iPhoto 5.
My specific problem is photographs need to be rotated depending on how the picture was taken (landscape or portrait). I'll go through a roll in the thumbnail mode, rotating to the proper postitions. Then when I try to edit a rotated picture, the edit mode does not recognize the rotation that has already taken place, and shows the picture in its original position.
What is WORSE, in doing a silde show in iMovie or iDVD, the thumbnails are correct, but when importing the pic into iMovie, the picture is in it original orientation (not rotated!!!)
Lastly, this only takes place with pictures I have imported with iPhoto 5. Any photos I imported in the old version of iPhoto all work properly with iMovie & iDVD and the thumnails match the orientation in the work.

Hi Fooch,
have you upgraded to the latest version of iPhoto through software update.
If you have the latest version, have you rebuilt the iPhoto Library after you did that?
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.

Script for making random thumbnails from single image

Hi all,
I need something like a hundred different thumbnails from each image in a series of images, that is, hundred random sections of the same image, saved in a folder as jpg, and i was hoping that i could find a script for this.
What the script has to do is:
select the size of the crop (this would also be the dimensions of the thumbnail saved)
rotate crop selection in a random orientation and place the crop randomly on the canvas
save the image as a jpg in a folder
return to original image,
repeat process x times before quitting script.
I dont think this should be to difficult to make a script for, but unfortunately i don´t know how to code.
Is there anybody that could help me with this?
This would save me a lot of time!

HT201302 Pictures taken with iPhone 5 cannot rotate once saved in Windows Live Photo Gallery please help

Having a problem after taking a picture. When I email it and cc myself the picture needs rotated. I use Windows Live Picture Gallery and it will not let me rotate them either.Can anyone help.

As long as you've backed up your photos, what you use is really a matter of personal preference. To avoid duplicates, pick one program. Getting rid of duplicates that you already have is probably going to mean going through the photos one by one.
For problems with Windows Software, you're probably better off posting on a Windows forum.
Best of luck.
