Photoshop can do it as a batch process if you separate the horizontals and 
verticals into different folders. ACDSee can do it if your images are JPEGs.

Possible Qimage at http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage

It is a printing program and will batch-rotate for printing, but I don't know whether 
you can batch-rotate and then save as rotated.  Mike Chaney is the developer and is as 
responsive as Ed Hamrick is - go the site and send him an e-mail asking him, or join 
the Qimage newsgroup http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/qimage and ask there.

Check out CompuPic Pro (www.photodex.com), it has batch
processing/conversion capabilities, in addition to viewing, thumbnailing,
and indexing functions. It's also extremely fast at decoding and displaying
images.

Mark,

What scanning software are you using?

I use VueScan and  have Irfanview
 installed as a quick file
viewer. I have VueScan rotate all images such that the horizontal ones
are properly rotated. Each scan I do comes up in Irfanview as it is
written to disk. The Ifranview image can easily be rotated and saved
with a keystroke or two each. This is quicker than doing the rotation in
Photoshop. However, Ifranview strips any profile from the image (I
attach Adobe 1998 profiles to all my RGB images), so when the image is
opened in Photoshop, a profile must be attached again. Irfanview is free
and is a good overall image viewer. It also has a good slide-show
feature.

Do all your images need to be rotated, and in the same direction? I
suppose you could open them all in Irfanview, close the ones that are
correctly oriented and rotate the ones that need rotating.

To the list --

CompuPic gets my endorsement. I've looked at lots of 
viewers/thumb-nailers/contact-sheet-makers/batch-processors/slide-show-presenters. 
It does it all and is extremely fast. It views BMP, EPS,  GIF, ICO, JPEG, 
PCX, PNG, TARGA, TIFF, WMF, and flattened PSDs as well as a variety of 
sound and movie formats. You can easily set it up so a control-click 
(command-click on Mac) opens a thumbnail in Photoshop (or any other editor 
you like). You can set up its full-screen display to automatically resize 
an image in even increments to be as large as possible on-screen. Its 
contact-sheet maker is so fast and well designed as to make Photoshop's 
similar capability seem laughable. It's extremely customizable, and many 
functions are available via keyboard shortcuts.

Try it, and don't look back!

But does it rotate uncompressed files? That was the original poster's question.

Do any of the "viewing" type programs allow lossless rotation of 
uncompressed? Do they actually offer lossless JPEG rotation?

I just tested CompuPic with a folder of uncompressed TIFFs. Yes it rotates 
them.

CompuPic's ROTATE function is in the "Tools" menu as a "Lossless Image 
Modification." Rotating a folder full of 600K JPEGs took only seconds. Not 
even time for a cup of instant coffeee...

You can download a fully-functional, time-limited trial version from 
http://www.photodex.com. If you try it, please post your comments to the 
list. Thanks.

Agfa Photowise will do that. It was done bt Sierra Imaging & I beleive they
have a generic version under a different name as well.

Vuescan.

Unfortunately, I can't do that. My laptop only has 128Mb, and memory
gets tight if I attempt to rotate the images at scan-time (not to
mention the fact that it's extremely slow).

>> Do all your images need to be rotated, and in the same

No. Some need to be flipped, some rotated one way and some others - all
depending on which way I put the negative strip into the scanner and who
took the picture (my wife always takes portrait pics with the camera the
other way up to me, since she's right-handed and I'm left-handed!).

Thanks

Mark

Move all the images which need rotation into a separate folder and set up 
a Photoshop batch job. A few other image editing s/w will do it, but lose 
ICC tags and/or IPTC file info in the process. PS will reprofile and add 
file info as part of the same batch job if you wish, set levels, anything! 
More time to read mailing lists and drink coffee, whilst it munges through 
a pile of 60 16bit 110Mb scans :)

Re: filmscanners: Batch image processing software (Windows)? - Vueprint

[P Elkin]

I use Vueprint - open the first image in the folder, press end to rotate 90
degrees etc press v to save, press space bar to open next image. I did 72
batch scans in no time at all.
