    Ignore rotation metadata ...

    AttilaHan Community Member

      Hey Adobe ... "Ignore rotation metadata" preference is not working with Canon. PS does not ignore it.

          Martin Evening says that it is relevant with the rotation applied within the camera raw ... I don't think so and it should be relevant with the camera menu selection about the auto rotation of vertical images. Anyway, it does not important so much ... for this preference does not work with the rotation applied in camera raw as well.

            Which Canon and which PS. I have no problem with my 20d, 1d2 and 1d4 photoshop rotate RAW and Jpeg portrait images automaticly. CS2 CS3 CS5 and CS6 all work.

             

            My Photoshop file handling preferences look like this....

              I choose the "rotate on the computer" at the camera menu for vertical images. So, they rotate to the vertical position when I open them in camera raw ... but as I open them in PS, they should be horizontal with settings you copied. But, as far as I see PS does not ignore image rotation metadata and open them in vertical position ... am I wrong?

                All my portrait image are always loaded verticaly. Not only in Photoshop in windows explorer and other applications.  It make no difference how I set that Photoshop preference.  My canon images even my point and shoot sd700 IS images rotate in camera. So I do not know it such metada exists for these cameras.  The rotation may be done in camera and no rotate image metadata is recorded. If I use windows explorer to rotate an image it het loaded rotated the wrong orentation.  How old is you canon? If its new are you sure there is rotate metadata?

                  EOS 60D ... if I choose the "rotate on the computer" option on the camera, then portrait images are positioned vertically in PS ... it is ok.

                   

                  I think that if we choose "ignore rotation metadata" option, then PS should not rotate the image and leave it in horizontal position.

                   

                  I hope I think it correctly.

                    I don't set any Canon option about rotation in my cameras I just leve any such setting at its default.  I would need to read what camera setting does. I feel canon dedault setting rotate images in camera and write no rotation metadata.

                      Thanks Mack ... indeed I will not use it, I just try to understand how the "ignore rotation metadata" option works.

                        Is there a known bug about this option? Any idea?
