Photoshop CS3 Question - Apply Rotation Gone?
 

In my older version of PS in the Browser window I could rotate the images, then would have to click on Apply Rotation. In the new Bridge CS3, you rotate them, but there is no Apply Rotation, so browsers aren't picking up the rotation, only image programs do. Any one know how to apply the Rotations without manually opening each file and rotating the canvas?

Bump for answers...

I use bridge, after an image processing run, kinda just does it for me.

Hit me up ICQ if you like.. I am a little confused by what you are asking. There are plenty of options on rotation. If you want to rotate the images in Bridge but then view them as "rotated" in other programs, I am not sure it does that without saving the image (and why do that to a JPEG, it degrades the file).

The rotation is part of the meta-data created inside Adobe. It won't be recognized by other editors or browsers.

Ya I kind if thought it was a meta type thing, Preview picks it up too. In the older version of Photoshop, when it had the Browser Window, after you did a Rotate, there was a little circle arrow on the thumbs you rotated, then you could select all the ones you rotated and choose Apply Rotation and it would rotate and re-save the files in the background, so that they were actually rotated, and not just told to be in the meta info.

I can't find this in the Bridge, just rotate, no apply rotation, so when I zip of the images and process the galleries, the images aren't rotated, and it's fucking annoying me cuz I didn't realize it until I spent an hour rotating and uploading galleries.

Bump for you. Hope you get that figured out. I'm pulling my hair out because I can't create a displacement map. So aggravating :waaaaahh

I believe in Bridge any rotations are done just to view the photos in a "preview" program like bridge, ACDSee, etc. it doesn't actually change the image file, just adds a tag. To actually change the image file, you can run a batch in Bridge. Look into the Automation section of things. I believe that's where it is.

its just a simple ctrl + t to rotate the image

I went through the exact same crap with adobe, very underwhelming to be real honest about it. I just do it in windows now, using 'explorer' pain in the ass. have to use bridge to rename and then windows to rotate. typical adobe horse shit. maybe I'll try arlis out? -bmb

PS usually auto rotates from the exif data with ours.
