I wonder if anyone can help. I'm importing my images direct onto my mac from a Sony a200.

I notice though, that if I'm taken a Portrait orientated pic, it stays on its side in iPhoto. If I open the image, it opens upright, but when I close it, it's back on its side. Consequently, as an example, if this image is selected by the mac for a screensaver say, it appears on its side...

Anyone help?
 
My camera has a setting for auto rotating images. But if yours doesn't, just rotate in iphoto by using the menu at the top of the screen (think it's photos).

That's the thing though... in the camera a Portrait is just that, upright...

When opened in any software, it's upright...

But, as a thumbnail it's a portrait laying on its side, and if used on like the screensaver, it's also showing as a portrait laying on its side?!
 
That's it, I can't rotate it in iPhoto - cause it opens it in an upright position. I feel like I'm being really thick!

Click to expand...

Not at all. It's just we are not looking at the same screen. I think you might be doubling clicking the images and then trying to rotate. I was meaning view the shots as previews and highlight one and then rotate from the menu above. Basically you don't want to open it for editing.

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.
