Using Picasa Rotation
Posted: Wed Dec 25, 2013 7:13 pm
Sorry if this is a common question, but the search page won't let me search on Picasa and Rotation (or EXIF).
I've got over 10,000 pictures in Picasa, using albums, name tagging, etc., so I don't want to switch cataloging programs. However, the Picasa screen saver seems to have a major bug in that it won't go through all of the 10,000 photos. It seems to pick about 800 and they just repeat. So I'm looking for another program to use for my screen saver.
I downloaded the free version of gPhotoShow and it seems to work great for me, except for one thing. Any photos that need rotation are not rotated. Picasa does this automatically, or it can be done manually. I know that the free version of gPhotoShow doesn't support EXIF data and the pro version does. But will the pro version see the rotation that comes from Picasa? I don't think Picasa stores the EXIF data with the file (unless you explicitly save the photograph), but I'm not sure.
I don't want to have to go through my whole library saving every rotated photo, for two reasons. First, of course, it's a lot of work. Second, I don't want to change the dates on the files because that will mess up the filing.
Any suggestions?
