Jpeg orientation on import
Just updated to v1.1 and starting to seriously play before importing everything.
I am puzzled by Jpegs which always show in landscape orientation, even if taken in portrait and showing in, eg., C1 or ViewNX2 or CapNX2 as portrait orientation. I can rotate them after import, but why is there a need to do this when the information to have them show in portrait is clearly there - and especially as C1 correctly shows in portrait orientation?
I have tried all thumbnail import settings to no avail: variable or fixed, they are all in landscape format. It doesn't matter whether the rendering is set to C1 emgine or WIC, either. How can I get them all to show the right way up without manually rotating them?
Thanks in advance.

This occurs on my Mac version when the images are imported as they are initially read very quickly, however it only occurs with certain JPEG files.
Once the Catalog is loaded however the images show the proper orientation. As such it is just a temporary issue while importing.0 -
Drew, not so, I'm afraid.
Mine is on W7 and I've rebooted and reloaded the catalogue. All jpegs, without exception, are in landscape orientation.
I'm guessing by the lack of comments that either
- No-one else is experiencing this, or
- It's expected to have to rotate jpegs which are taken in portrait format, despite the fact that they are displayed correctly in other programmes.
From what you're saying it seems the second of those can be ruled out. So what am I doing wrong? Why do jpegs which display in portrait orientation in C1, CNX, etc., all appear 90 degree rotated to landscape in MP?0 -

See my post in another thread on the Windows version where I said
"Likewise, most of the portrait shots need to be re-rotated."
Thus, I have seen the same thing as you. I don't take a lot of shots in portrait mode, so it is hard to track them all down.
I have not tried it on a new shot yet with this version.
I think that most of the problems that I have encountered are related to moving photos from Expression Media where they were rebuilt or rotated. I do know that the portraits that I had in MP 1.01 for the first time are correctly viewed now (but I don't really recall if I had to rotate them when MP first saw them.
If I get a chance later, I'll try a new portrait shot and push it through via CO.0 -

Summary - the portrait shots appear in MP just fine.
Using a Canon 60D, I just took a series of new shots - a couple of landscapes, and a couple of portrait modes, one with the camera rotated clockwise, one counterclockwise, as well as a couple rotated 45 dg .
I copied them into 2 separate folders.
I took the 1st set into Capture One 6.3, & did a simple jpeg process into a new subfolder.
Both the original raw and the processed photos in portrait mode appeared in CO as portraits (as expected)
I then "added" these folders via CO to Media Pro.
In Media Pro, the portraits appear as portrait, not landscape - both raw and jpeg.
When I next imported the 2nd folder into MP, the portrait photos were imported just fine and were seen as portraits.
I processed them as jpegs into a new sub folder, then updated the main folder via MP.
The jpegs appear fine.
I suspect your issues are related to older files from EM.0 -
Jim,
Thanks very much for that. Just to clarify, I've never used EM and these are all jpegs which are freshly imported from folders. But I think I have something to go on now:
All of the jpegs I've imported so far have been those taken in-camera - usually alongside the raw. I haven't yet imported any that I've created through raw processing. So, for example, I'll have a portrait-format raw next to it's portrait-format jpeg, both from camera and both displaying the right way up in C1, CNX2, CR, Lightroom etc. Once imported to MP, the raw is in the correct format but the jpeg is no longer the right way up.
I'm willing to bet that any jpeg I've created through processing a raw file will display properly in MP (I'll try this soon). What I do need to figure out, though, is why a jpeg created in-camera and imported for the first time into MP does not show the right way up, whereas it does in other image programmes.0 -
Last night I expanded my catalogue to include all the images taken with my Leica D-Lux 4. I have taken quite a number of portrait-format jpegs with this and not one of the thumbnails displayed the right way up once imported. I find it very tedious to have to go through all imported images just to rotate portrait-format thumbnails so that they display properly.
Capture One (as well as every other imaging programme I use) displays all portrait-oriented thumbnails properly, so why doesn't MP? I imported using both C1 engine and WIC; in either case portraits display as landscapes.
Once again to clarify: these are jpegs out of camera, not jpegs created from raw files. MP is clearly ignoring a "please rotate when displaying" instruction that other imaging programmes honour.0 -
same problem on jpeg orientation for me.
i installed my new PC on win 7 64 bits, so i upgraded to Media Pro, with orientation problems.
DXO, DPP are fine, only Media Pro fail.
i reinstalled my old EM2SP2... all is fine....0 -
Hmm. I'd like to say this is a bug, but it's really more of an oversight - and one that should be corrected.
The basic picture viewers in XP and upwards also ignore the rotate instruction for portrait jpegs out-of-camera. Quite irritating, but all of my "proper" image apps display them properly - once again, including C1. I'd like to think of MP as a proper image app too. It's irritating enough having to manually switch back and forth between rendering engines in order to get thumbs for all of my image types, let alone having to trawl through jpegs and rotate them manually.0
