I have a recurring problem when I import photos into PS’s web gallery. It will take vertically oriented photos and make them horizontal. As I remember, this didn’t happen in the last version. Is this a bug? Any workarounds other then having to manually rotate each image of the web pages?

Can anyone confirm if this is a bug?

I have never had that happen. It might be the style you selected. Try changing the style to simple and see if it does the same thing.

This is happening to me when I open an image from iPhoto in PS8. Most frustrating!

bobby – Photoshop only rotates images if the image is already marked to be rotated.

Hi Chris – I upload images from my Canon 10D into iPhoto. I edit the photos in Photoshop. If I’ve rotated an image in iPhoto and then open it in Photoshop, it turns another 45 degrees. What do you mean when you say a photo is "marked" to be rotated? I didn’t have this problem until I upgraded to CS – there were no problems in 7.0

I seriously doubt that. 🙂

Yeah, 45 degrees would be quite a feat. <g>

Bobby – most likely iPhoto is rotating the image but not changing the EXIF data that says the image needs to be rotated. That would be a bug in iPhoto.

As far as I can tell, this is a Photoshop problem. Other applications in Panther do recognize the rotated image: Preview, any browser, Photoshop 7. I imported a vertical photo into Illustrator 10 and it retained the proper orientation. For some reason, CS does not like verticals! I would hope Adobe releases an update to fix bugs like these. Until then I will use iPhoto’s web export feature–not as nice but it works the way it should.

Tom – again, Photoshop only rotates the image if the image is marked to be rotated.

This is not a problem, not a bug, and thus not going to be "fixed".

What might be a problem is if some other software does the rotation and fails to change the EXIF data saying the image need to be rotated.

Ok, I will go bug Apple about this.

OK guys – so I’m mathematically challenged. I should have said 90 degrees. I still have the rotation problem…just worked with recent uploads to iPhoto (v.2) and opened them in PSCS – and they’re rotated from vert. to horiz. I’m going to try rotating them in the camera before uploading and see what happens then.
