Hi !

I often work with The GIMP to process my own photos, but I also sometimes use Paint Shop Pro X. It provides an interesting feature : when photos were vertically shot, it rotates them automatically when opened by the program. Is this feature available anywhere in the general options or where can I put it in a wishlist ?

Thanks !

Take a look at "Image -> Transform" and see if one of those work for you.

Also, in the Tools menu, there is the "Rotate the layer or Selection". Just click it, and then click inside your picture. I use it to straighten a picture's horizon. I first use the "Measure distances and angles" to find how far it is off, and then use the value in the status bar in the rotate dialog.

As far as I know, none of these are automatic though. You could checkout the GIMP registry plug-in at, http://registry.gimp.org/, to see if there is anything.
