    How do I turn off auto-rotate?

    Webshark2000 Community Member

      I've got a bunch of photos that were shot landscape, but when photoshop (CS4) opens them it automatically rotates them to portrait.  How can I turn this feature off?

          I could be wrong, but I don't think Photoshop is doing any auto-rotation there. It's simply loading up the image the way it comes off the camera, and the camera save/stores the image in the same orientation whether or not it was rotated when the shot was framed.

            There is no auto-rotate function in PS4, how are you opening them up with Photoshop(eg: from Bridge)?

              Just opening them up directly from Photoshop.  When I look at the photos in Windows using the Photo Viewer they are landscape.  Maybe that program is automatically rotating them to a landscape format rather than portrait?

               

              I'll just batch them through a script to rotate them.

               

              I do have another question, though.  If I want to run some actions on a single photo that allows me to take three different sections of it and save each out as a separate file, how can I make it automatically create a new file name.

               

              For example, if I have an image named DSC1001.jpg and I open it, run an action to cut a section of it out and save it as DSC1001-a.jpg, do the same thing with a second section of the image and have it save as DSC1001-b.jpg and then a third as DSC1001-c.jpg, how can I then open the next image (DSC1002.jpg) and have each section save automatically as DSC1002-a.jpg, DSC1002-b.jpg and DSC1002-c.jpg?

               

              Is there a way to do this?  It wouldn't even need to have the original file name in it, I just can't get it to do this without saving over the same three files over and over again at the moment.

               

              Any help would be greatly appreciated.

               

              Thanks.

                Photoshop CS4 Extended rotates all my Canon XSi / 450D images if they were shot in portrait orientation.  I tried it just now with an image still on the SD card and untouched by any program other than Windows Explorer which shows a landscape thumbnail.

                  that's your camera's picture resolution and size. It's like opening a picture from a file using default picture viewer. It doesnt really automatically put it to landscape. It's already in landscape to begin with?
