Rotate and Save

In Bridge [15.0.0.397] I have batch rotated a number of images [HEIC] but can't figure out how to save the images in the rotated orientation. Insights?

You're welcome.

 

AFAIK, Photoshop, ACR and Bridge can't save as HEIC.

 

Apple Preview doesn't appear to understand the Bridge rotation metadata.

 

Apple Preview does honour it's own rotation metadata and can save as HEIC (at least in Ventura 13.7).

 

So it would appear that you will need to use an Apple-based workflow rather than Adobe.

I intended to mark Stephen_A_Marsh’s answer as correct but inadvertently marked my thank you reply as correct. My attempts to correct this has resulted in three correct answers; thereby screwing things up. My apologies to all and sundry!

The rotation is just a metadata entry, until the files are opened and resaved the rotation isn't "baked in" and would only be recognised by software honouring the rotation metadata.
