Ive got around 24 images i want to rotate.
Is there a program that can do them all in one action.
Like a batch command ?

ACDsee

NA NA NA NA NA NANA!!!

irfanview can also do this.

ACDsee

lol what a joke.

Irfanview ftw.

i use "rota"

does the lossless jpeg rotate which is handy

Photoshop. Corel Script. Whatever. Most decent apps will have a 'batch' function of some kind.

ImageMagick ftw

Once upon a time I would write a decent batch file with a loop - but now I use the lazy method (assume Windows):

1. Do a 'dir' into a file:
c:\directory\>dir *.jpg > file.txt
2. Edit the file with a text-editor with column-editing ability (e.g., Ultra-edit)
3. Enable column editing and delete all the crap from file.txt so you just have the filenames
4. Select before every row and type the command to rotate before all the filenames:
convert -rotate 180
5. Rename file file.bat and run it

Anyone that does it any other way is doing it wrong. Amen.

ImageMagick +1 , its entire purpose is tasks like that.

c:\directory\>dir *.jpg > file.txt
2. Edit the file with a text-editor with column-editing ability (e.g., Ultra-edit)
3. Enable column editing and delete all the crap from file.txt so you just have the filenames

Or use "dir /b *.jpg > file.txt" and save 2 steps!@

you can sort of do it in one line like:

for %a in (*.jpg) do convert.exe -rotate 180 %a %a-2.jpg

The problem with that is you'll end up with filenames like "image0001.jpg-2.jpg" which sucks. A quick Google indicates you might be able to do it properly though if you RTFM.

I have a tool on my site to do this. It uses ImageMagick and PHP GD to do it's thing though so you may as well just go straight for ImageMagick.

for %a in (*.jpg) do convert.exe -rotate 180 %a %a-2.jpg

I used to Google and work out how to write loops like this. Then I realised that it's much much quicker to use a column editor and do it the simple way without any research. The reason is because you do it so little you just forget batch/shell syntax and always have to look it up.

Yeh, I'd use Irfanview for things like this without a second thought

I reckon in the time you spent typing this thread and waiting for replies, you could have easily rotated them all manually.

Been playing around with photosynth.
trying to create a 3d rotational image from a 2d image.

photosynth should pick up the rotation.

# mogrify -rotate 90 *.jpg

^ imagemagick on linux / bsd etc

Exactly what my response was going to be. 24 isn't that many.

I actually used the 24 part images unrotated and used 4 full image pics 3 rotated.

I cant get the image to sit like as a floor and rotate it.
it only shows as like a Wall.

Any Photosynth users here ?
are there additional viewing controls other than the 6 shown in the top right hand corner ?

Its a real pain that you have to upload the pics before you can see it.
Takes so long with our crap upload speeds.
