Hello!

I have a question:
can a script rotate all open images counterclockwise?

It has become a daily routine for me, and takes a long time...

I would be very grateful for your answers,

Correct answer Kukurykus

Modify 'apply to all open documents' script I shared with you in other thread, by using:

activeDocument.rotateCanvas(-90)

It would surely be easier to do it in Bridge.

I agree... As long as all the software in the viewing and editing chain respects the orientation metadata.

Edit: forgot to mention that if rotated in Bridge and then re-saved in say Photoshop, the new rotation will be "baked in" and no longer reliant on metadata for rotation.

I think what the op wanted would be mote like this:

if (documents.length){for (var i=0;i<documents.length;i++){documents[i].rotateCanvas(-90);}}

Stephen_A_Marsh 'tried' to explain it but you don't understand. Read text of my first answer.

Without the link it hard to to tell what else the share script would do. Its a one liner in the first place

if (documents.length)for(var i=0;i<documents.length;i++)documents[i].rotateCanvas(-90)

Does it have to be a Script. A simple one step action is all that is needed. Menu Image>Image Rotation>90 Counter Clockwise.

It would be easy to script that batch process. But it will take you a long time to write that script for you asked that question so you do not know how to Script Photoshop. Scripting is no an easy task like recording an action.
