Vex Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 I have a directory of scanned cards: I have a layout in APub that's just an image frame on a page with the margins I need, the end goal being to embed an image on each page. The cards were scanned sideways, and rotated in Windows Explorer, which I belief changes the image's metadata rather than actually opening, rotating, and saving the bitmap itself. It appears APub is ignoring this: Is there a way to set the image rotation, so when I run the data merge on all 64 images, it will be properly rotated? Or do I need to use some other means to rotate the images (something I can do if necessary) first? Also creating this as a bug because I believe APub should respect the rotation data. APhoto opens the images with the proper rotation without issue. Quote Windows 10 · MacOS 10.14 · Arch Linux
StuartRc Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 Have you tried simply rotating the image frame and running the dataset? I just tried it with my thumbnail generator..by rotating the imagebox all the imported files/images were also rotated Also worked with an image inside the Data Layout Tool Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.5.7.2948 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.6.0.3125 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.5371+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1
Vex Posted August 6, 2021 Author Posted August 6, 2021 I haven't run it yet, but when I preview it, it's not rotated properly. Since posting this I've been working on a version with the page itself rotated, and a couple cards which were scanned differently from most are rendering improperly, due to the rotation issue: I did finally run this to see what it gave me, and the images are still wrong. In the below I've rotated the page view 90deg to make it easier to work with the result. Quote Windows 10 · MacOS 10.14 · Arch Linux
StuartRc Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 interesting....Was it the image you rotated OR the image frame Container?..I just rotated the container and didn't change the image itself...The data import is applied to the container..I think but will check Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.5.7.2948 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.6.0.3125 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.5371+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1
StuartRc Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 I made a little video to show the rotation working test rotate file.mp4 Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.5.7.2948 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.6.0.3125 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.5371+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1
Vex Posted August 6, 2021 Author Posted August 6, 2021 I originally rotated the images from Windows Explorer: After generating the finished document, I had to rotate the image inside the frame for several images (the example I already screenshotted, and others that were upside down entirely). I'll try again from your example, though. StuartRc 1 Quote Windows 10 · MacOS 10.14 · Arch Linux
Vex Posted August 6, 2021 Author Posted August 6, 2021 Okay, so I was trying to rotate the image in the frame, rather than rotating the image itself, so that was definitely wrong. So that mostly fixes my problem, but I still have to spot-check and fix specific pages, so I think there's still a bug to be filed. Thanks for the help!

Staff Gabe Posted August 10, 2021 Staff Posted August 10, 2021 Hi all, I can't replicate this here. I've rotated the images via the right click menu and they all work fine. Am I missing a step? Screen Recording 2021-08-10 at 11.16.24.mov Quote
