image rotation in contact sheet

Report · Nov 01, 2008

Hi
I've just come accross a problem when creating a contact sheet with images that were organised and rotated using Bridge.

When creating contact sheets I like to have the thumbnails rotated the correct way up. So I deselect 'rotate for best fit' but after the process is finished I realise that the sheet has been created with the thumbnails in landscape view regardless of the images that are portrait.

I've also tried selecting the 'rotate for best fit' but the same thing happens.

Can anyone help me?

Based on your post, you're using the InDesign contact sheet.

Bridge does not rotate the image. It sets a metadata flag. Photoshop recognizes this flag, InDesign CS3 does not (I haven't tried it in CS4 yet).

I will be writing a new version of the contact sheet script over the next few weeks.

The features I will be adding:

Ability to save multiple dialog settings
Improved dialogs
Heed rotation metadata
Bring back the ability to include subfolders
