Canon Users...? for Ya... I shoot with a Canon EOS 20D and I am wondering if any of you fellow Canon users out there can answer a question for me. I am wondering if there is any way to change settings on the camera, or any software that will automatically upright photos that are taken vertically? I spend a fair amount of time rotating photos after a shoot so that they are all upright, but there must be an easier way. Thanks for any help you can give.

Oh you poor darls! Yes there is! But I don't have my camera on me, so I can't tell you exactly where it is on the camera. I have the 350D and the camera will automatically rotate my photos, I don't know how it knows which way to rotate them, because I hold my camera both ways (ie turn left to get vertical, and then turn right to get vertical as well) and they all end up the right way up! It is in your settings somewhere and it will ask you if you want to automatically rotate photos. I'll have my camera with me tomorrow at work, I'll check it out and send you the info, but by the time I do it, someone may have already answered this. I will keep an eye out.

Kimberly, I'm guessing you do like I do, and use a card reader to transfer your images to the computer? I used to use the Canon software that came with my Digital Rebel, I think it was called ZoomBrowser. It was slower, since the camera cable was a USB 1.1 connection, and my card reader is a USB 2.0 connection. But one advantage was that it automatically rotated vertical pictures. The good news is that the 20D has a USB 2.0 cable connection, so transferring pictures that way should be fast. Chris

Yep, Chris, I use ZoomBrowser with the cable that came with my camera. But I know there is a setting in the camera itself that rotates the photos.

Natalie, There is a setting on one of the menus for AutoRotating the image, but that might just be for the display on the LCD. I know that I have that setting enabled, so that if I review my pictures on the LCD, they will rotate correctly. But if I transfer them to the computer using my card reader, they will not be automatically rotated. Only using ZoomBrowser will do that.

Okay, I have the auto rotate on and have had it on since I bought the camera. So here's my dilema, they show as rotated on the camera playback, but when I download the pictures, there turn right back to unrotated. So, I was hoping that it would be something simple, even if it met I just needed to read my manual...but it turns out I did read my manual, and it still doesn't work. Any more thoughts???

Chris, you may have just answered my question, I think I have zoom browser. I will check it out. Thank you both so much. I really hope to fix this, I spend WAY to much time rotating. Thanks again!

Hey Kimberly, I own the Dig Rebel and have my autorotate on. I use a cardreader to download all my pictures and use Picasa 2 (a free program from Google) to download all my pics. When I open my pics in PS, they are already rotated. When I go to close the image, even though I have not done any editing, PS asks if I want to save changes (because it has been automatically rotated for me). I just hit yes, and go on from there. Hope this helps! Mel

Greetings, I have the Canon 20D. I shoot in RAW + JPG(sm). The small jpgs aren't rotated (GRRRR) but when I opne the RAW files in PS, they are. Autorotate is turned on. Robert

From what Mel & Robert are saying, it seems that PhotoShop can read the rotation info from the images' metadata, like ZoomBrowser does. But I think you have to save the image for the rotation to become permanent.

I've got the 20D along with SanDisk Ultra II 1 Gig cards and a SanDisk USB card reader. I download the pictures to my computer and view the thumbnails with Adobe Photoshop CS's Filebrowser. I believe that all of my photos are rotated.

In Photoshop, you can open your browsers click on all the images that are not rotated and do a quick batch process of it as well. That is how I use to do it. I don't have PS at work, so I can't tell you the exact steps, but it is available when you use the PS file browser.
