    How to rotate an entire folder of pics with PSE12 only?

    DavidW7 Community Member

      I am talking about simple rotation of 90 degrees.

       

      I did find an awkword way to do it with Lightroom + PSe by first with Lr rotate + export an entire folder, which saves the pics UNrotated but with instructions to rotate. Then, using PSe's File->Process Multiple Files of those saved by Lr. This sounds quite an arbitrary artificial split and pretty crazy to me.

       

      Is there any way to do it with PSe12 only?

       

       

      Thanks,

          Why not use the Organizer ?

          Select your files and click the rotate button.

            The reason is simple - somebody tried to "sell" me the greatness of Lr and in addition to the fact I haven't been using Organizer for a while, I simply forgot about it.

             

            So thanks for straightening my head back in place...

             

            Still either one of them is fairly limited on functionality. and even very limited quantatively. If I want to import to PSe12, with either one of them, a large number of photos in order to operate on imported files (rather than on Folder), the number of files is very limited. And it looks to me that the limit is not a hard number of files but rather some RAM and/or disk space (although my hardware is practically unlimited, 32 GB RAM (64 bit OS) & several TB free disk space), because that number depend on the photo files size.

             

            Is there any way to perform  cropping in bulk, either 1. Automatically, because there is a clear distinction between what belong to the photo's object and some undesireable areas in the photo (I verified it to work ok on several individual photos); or 2. By specifying hard values of coordinates;  on many (like a 1000) photos?
