Photography Question

Rotating images after drag/drop


When I uploaded my images my instructions (pg. 2) says I would have the option to rotate my images. I must be blind--I couldn't find it. How do I rotate the images, if necessary?

  Hi, Sandra,

This is working its way down the page without any answers. I think it may be because the question is a little confusing.

With what are you uploading images and where to? Also, which instructions are you referring to?

(I thought you might be referring to BP Gallery uploads but this should be a non-issue. If you do any post-production of your images they should end up with the correct orientation out of your image editing app.)

  Hi Sandra,
Try rotating the images before posting them on the page.
I rotate my images right away after downloading my CF card. I use Adobe Bridge/CS3 and with a MAC using Bridge the keyboard shortcut to rotate left (counter-clock) is Command [ and for rotating to the right (clockwise) is Command ]
Its probably "Control [" on a PC.
I can select all the images that I want to rotate and then use the Control [ - this will rotate an entire folder at once.
Hope this helps,
Carlton

  Hey, Carlton,

Quick question (that might also help Sandra troubleshoot her problem):

Do you have auto-rotate 'off' in your Canon(s)? The reason I ask is that I have mine set to auto-rotate 'on' and I never have to rotate images when I import them into LR or CS4.

Don't know what type of camera Sandra has, but I would think this may be a common setting in DSLRs.

Cheers,

RK

  Thanks RK,
Great point.
I do have auto-rotate ON in my 40D but my raw files from my 1Ds are not. I dont even see the rotate option in the menu so I will need to look in the manual to see if I can set this option.
Carlton
