Digital Photo - Change Orientation?

It must be possible to change the orientation on a digital photo from horizontal to vertical. Does anyone know how to do this?

I'd like to print a 3.5h x 5w inch orientation photo as a 3.5w x 5h. I'm willing to chop a bit to make it fit properly

It all depends on what program you're using to print it out. Check under your printer>properties, and change landscape to portrait. Other programs like the default picture viewer in XP have the option to rotate the picture. (In XP, it looks like a little triangle with an arrow)

Hi and thanks for the reply. I think I should clarify what I am trying to do. I could simply rotate the photo 90 degree to the right or left but that doesn't get done exactly what I'm trying to achieve.

The picture was taken, for example, of my girl friend with a horizontal orientation. If I flip the photo to the right by 90 degrees then she looks like she's looking skyward.

What I would like to do is take that horizontally oriented photo and print it as if it were taken with a vertical orientation. She would still be looking at me normally and not looking skyward. The photo would fit 5"h x 3.5"w frame as if it were taken with the camera on it's side.

Does that make any sense?

I think I understand what your saying, although I could be wrong. If so, then you've got three options:

crop the photo to suit your needs

print it out normaly, and cut the paper large, leaving hefty white borders on the top and bottom

expand the size of the canvas, and fill in the borders at the top or bottom with whatever you want.

You could stretch the image, but that would look horrible. if you're really desperate, and know exactly where you took the original photo, you could take a few more in that some place, then insert the required areas into the original photo.

If you do it in most photo software programs, including photoshop, you resave as jpg and degrade image quality with generational and lossy issues.

The best way I find of doing it is use "thumbs plus" from cerious software cerious.com .

In thumbnail view you can select the ones you want to rotate, right click, choose "quick process" and then choose 90* Clockwise or counterclockwise. It rotates them without the lossy degradation of all other programs.

Actually, you could take the image to any digital photo developing station (Wal-mart, Sam's, etc..) and try to print from there. They have the software built right in to rotate and crop the image. You want to rotate the image to the right orientation you are looking for. Then, crop it so that you get the part of the image that will show up in the final picture. This will be much less considering the long sides of your rectangle will now be what were originally the short sides of your rectangle in the original picture, if that makes sense.

Also, if it were me.. I'd just do it in Photoshop by cropping the original image to the closest I could get to the right shape, and then print it out as a 3.5x5.
