Does anyone know a program which will rotate lots of images 90 degrees? I know that in fireworks and photoshop they have batch processes, but these don’t have a rotate feature. Thanks 😛

batch processes can do anything that you can in filter; all you have to do is record an action (in your case, open a canvas, start recording, use the ‘rotate canvas 90 CW/CCW’ action" stop recording…

Now batch a directory of images using that action…

(i usually add a ‘save as’ step in my action because somehow it’s pretty jitty to work with save option of the batch…)

sounds cool mlk, but how would you start/end recording etc? You’re referring to Fireworks not photoshop right? :puzzled:

He is referring to photoshop. Open up your actions pallete. Window/ Actions (or Alt+F9) at the bottom of this window you will see the stop, record and play buttons there.

I highly reccomend this program. It’s shareware so you get a small nag, but you don’t HAVE to buy it if you don’t have the cash.

You can highlight all the pictures you want to effect and right click for a nice little shell menu. You can also do converting and resizing all in the windows shell!

After reading APDesign’s link, i figured you don’t need any program to rotate the images. Windows XP already has this built in 😛
