I have a folder of pictures that cycle through the screensaver
slideshow thing.
Why do some of them still show up sideways (which is indeed the way
they were shot)? Yes, I've gone through and rotated those of them
rightside-up, and indeed those DO show up correctly-oriented when
viewed in the FINDER, or GRAPHIC CONVERTOR and PREVIEW... but not in
the screensaver slideshow.

Are they all jpegs or are some of them PDF's?

I ran into this kind of thing a while back, and as I recall it was something to do with the PDF format...try saving one of the rotated images as a new file and see if it still displays un-rotated.

Could also be that GraphicConverter isn't saving the EXIF data
properly. I've run into this issue before, especially if my digicam
is set to autorotate.

Either that, or just resaving in Preview. Frequently, all I have to
do is resave the image file, and it gets oriented correctly.

Go into the screen saver system preferences, select a different
folder then re-select your folder as the slideshow. I've noticed
that once it generates the cached image, it prefers it and seems to
not re-check the original.

Revisiting this, just went back through the folder, took all of the
vertical-shot pics and pulled them into PREVIEW, rotated them this
way and that and re-saved them upright. Went to the SYS PREFS SCREEN
SAVER app and assigned a wholly different folder and closed it. Re-
opened it and assigned it back to the folder I want.

Vertical pics still all show up sideways when the screensaver runs
the slideshow. Any other ideas?
