auto rotation when opening files

Suddenly photoshop cs started automatically rotating portrait oriented photos 90 degrees to the left upon opening the file. The photoshop file browser also does this. The photos are oriented 90 degrees off to the right as they come off the camera, so I use another program to batch rotate them before working on them in PS. Now PS is doing it by itself, which is putting them back out of correct orientation. I thought selecting ignore exif profile tag might solve this but it has made no difference.

If anyone has an answer for this I’d appreciate the help. Thank you.

Sounds like your batch rotater isn’t correctly updating the EXIF flag saying that the images need to be rotated.

The easy fix for this is to stop using your batch rotater and let Photoshop do the rotation when opening the file.

That’s probably what I’ll have to do. However I probably have thousands of photos that I already rotated but have not photoshopped yet.

Photoshop is doing something now that it has not done in the 6 years that I’ve been using it or the months that I started using CS.

It appears that Photoshop is ignoring the setting to ignore EXIF information. That is probably the key.
