Viewing Photos okay who has a PC and a Canon camera? I have both and this problem is driving me nuts: windows picture/fax viewer (henceforth WPFV) has started not rotating my vertical images at all. I have googled this and read forums and found that it's a common problem; it doesn't read the rotation information on the picture. (it used to occasionally though!)That's fine, I've started learning to like my zoombrowser viewing program that came with my canon. That rotates the images fine. So I will view them in the Zb and organize them in files in WPFV However, when I go to upload pics to the internet, the vertical photos are not rotated there either. So then I have to go to the WPFV to manually rotate them. Which is not just time consuming, I have read that it ruins the picture pixels by compressing them to be vertical. anyone have this problem and know how to fix it? I've already tried changing the viewing settings in my camera.

Have you explored the camera setting on the Rebel, for "Auto Rotate of Vertical Images"?

The manual indicates it should also work with your Canon software... so I think you'd be better off dropping Windows Pic/Fax viewer from your workflow.

I pretty much have for my viewing/editing/organzing, but the problem still persists that I have is that when I upload to the internet the verticals are horizontal.

Hi Meghan, I dont know if this works on PC but try holding the control key while pressing the right bracket ] or left bracket key [ This would rotate my images quickly when I used my old Canon 1DS with Photoshop/Bridge. My 5D mk II images automatically load correctly :)

Another question...are these straight from the camera, as-is? Or are you doing editing first? If they are as-is files, I believe when you view and even Rotate in WPFV, that rotation isn't saved within the file. But if you were to open the file in an editor, rotate, and do any other edits, then save it---then the file would always reflect that rotation.

Sorry I lost the post to this thread. Anyway... Carlton, the keyboard tip didn't work :/ thanks though Christopher, both. some are straight from the camera others are edited. If I edit in LR and save it will still be wrongly rotated in WPFV. If I edit in PhotoImpact Pro, I have to rotate it in that program, then when I save it, it will be correct rotate in WPFV. So as you said it will reflect that rotation after saving in editing program. However, I don't edit all my photos and rotating saving in editing would be time consuming.... Any more suggestions?? (*hopefully?*)
