Leopard: Incorrect Pic Orientation in Screen Saver

Why hello there!



So I love Leopard.



However, when my screen saver randomises through my library of photographs, it doesn't seem to display profile shots in the correct orientation. They are swivelled into a landscape orientation.



Is this a bug? Or am I simply missing a configuration somewhere?



Regards,

Nius

    I can't reproduce this but seems like a bug. How your photos are rotated? If you rotate them in the camera the pixels are intact but the header marks the image as rotated. A couple of years ago I was using this but had software problems with different apps: some were ignoring the rotation field, Photoshop was respecting it but was not changing it if the image is rotated in Photoshop. The effect was that the image was rotated 90 degrees more when opened the next time. I gave up on in-camera rotation and rotate the actual pixels after downloading them to the computer. My workflow is: import in Aperture, rotate and correct there, import to iPhoto from Aperture library (for slideshows, front row etc.) but do not touch there. Works for screensaver as well.

    Hey Shadow,

    Thanks for that.

    I'll give it a shot.

    I'm actually taking these pictures with the iPhone, so perhaps that is a conflict there.
