Rotating digital photos.....HELP

punch*drunk — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 00:25:22 GMT

OMG this is the most frustrating thing ever!! I have a heap of photos from Thailand which I took on my phone and I can rotate the sideways ones on the computer and put them on a usb, but when I try and play them on the tv they flip sideways again.

I have googled and googled and dowloaded a couple of programs but I'm just getting myself more confused. Apparently its something to do with the EXIF (dont ask me what that is) and rotating them losslessly (nope, dont know what that means either).

So if anyone knows how to flip them right way up and make them stay....and can explain it in simple english....I'd be very grateful.

Thanks 🙂

Punch I would load them to pb, rotate them there, and then save to computer. Lot of mucking about but that is the way I do things. lol

I use Photo Editor (part of MS Office, doesn't get installed as default but you can find it in there)

Simply rotate the pic, and when I go to close it, I get asked if I want to save changes, and it does.

Thanks guys, I finally figured out how to do it with one of the programs I downloaded. "rotate losslessly" lol, its sounds stupid!

Next dilemma is how do I put 250 photos in chronological order when they came from 3 different cameras and about 50 of them dont have the data needed for the computer to organise them by date (they were resized and emailed to me).

lol, fun and games 🙂

Yeah, thats what I thought. Half way through doing it now. I've separated each camera into its own folder and have all three open and I'm moving renamed ones into a different folder again.

I'm sick of looking at the **bleep** photos!!!
