Computer Image Help Request
Self | 06/26/06 | 50sdad

Hey, I need to batch convert quite a lot of .tif graphics for work. I need to rotate them 90 degrees and save them out, either overwriting the old files or putting the new files, same names, in a new directory. The problem is, I know that some graphics programs I have used will balloon the file size by tenfold when this is done for some reason. (WideImage will, Kodak Imaging won't.)

Can anyone recommend a graphics program which will allow me to do this?

Pretty much any paint program can do what you want.

Just be sure to save the image into .jpg or .gif (compressed) format.

If you are running Windows XP, you can do it directly from the explorer window. RIght-click the file's icon, and "rotate photo" should appear as an option in the pop-up menu.

Photodex Corp's Compupic Pro will do batch files, and is quite reasonably priced. Just don't forget to do the batch massaging to a set of copies of the photos...

Irfanview will do batch rotate, resize, rename, conversion, etc, and it's freeware.

better yet, with Google Picasa 2(its free) just highlight all the pictures you want to rotate and at the bottom just press the rotate button the choose "export" really simple... if you want to change the color of the pictures or rename them at the top choose picture/batch/"then whatever you want to do"...
