how to rotate images slightly
Hey all, I was wondering if there was a way to rotate images slightly with DPP or any other free software. I have a few shots that would be really nice but are ruined (imo) by a slightly off-kilter horizon. I'm only talking about rotating the image a few degrees here. if anybody had any info that would be great..

Thanks!..

IrfanView has this function (Ctrl-U or Image~Custom/fine rotation...), although it's interface requires you to enter angle in degrees, instead of more common way of "drawing" horizon...

I do this often with Picasa by Google. It's free and works well...

Comment #2

It's rotate function is very intuitive. It's better than photoshop's even...

Sorry, I should have mentioned this: I'm working on a mac. I dont understand why A: they have picasa uploader for macs but not the actual software, and B: why they're developing it for linux but not mac..

Irfanview is also only on windows. ive tried to download gimp for mac, but apparently I need some additional software that I do not have to make it run..

So any other suggestions?.

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it..

Unfortunately it's the same issue that I had with gimp. they want me to install the X11 software, which I dont have. apparently it's located on the OS X installer cd, but I dont have access to that right now. I guess ill just have to try again when I can get my hands on that cd..

Thanks for all the help.

You could try the command-line tool ImageMagick to do a rotation without having a gui editor for OSX. (or for Windows or Linux, BSD etc for that matter).

Http://www.imagemagick.org.

Should be as simple as something like this in Terminal if you wanted to rotate your image 8 degrees:.

Convert -rotate 8 original.jpg new.jpg.

To quickly see it:.

Display new.jpg.

Of course ImageMagick does *much* more .....

Don't you get iPohoto with the Mac, that should allow you to rotate images. Lightroom will do it, but it is not free..
