the lower corner of any cell. Or, choose choose Photo > Rotate Left or Photo > Rotate Right. All selected photos
are rotated.
• In Loupe or Survey view, click a rotate icon in the toolbar to rotate the active photo.
note: If the toolbar doesn’t show the Rotate icons, choose Rotate from the toolbar pop-up menu.
• In Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, choose Photo > Rotate Left or Rotate Right to rotate the active photo.
