yeah! that makes sense! I was kind of thinking something similar that the jpeg orientation was being ignored. and I may have found a solution!! there's a command called jhead which can bake the orientation flag into the actual jpeg (for any vertical jpegs, it does a lossless rotation of the j

You are right about the value to remeber the orientation. QC is totally aware of it. However the render environment is actually the jpeg-orientation (landscape), so this makes me think Automator created the environmet this way > Am 21.10.2015 um 10:32 schrieb Josh Reiss : > > hmmmnm... I don't

hmmmnm... I don't think it's actually a bug. interestingly, I believe the way a camera saves a jpeg is that the pixels are in the same order (horizontal) whether vertical or horizontal, and there's just a value that gets set if the image should be vertical. It looks like quartz doesn't recog

Great advice! I was looking for how to do this for different camera orientations! Can any of these nodes tell what the original camera orientation of the image is supposed to be? the images seem to be oriented correctly in the finder, (both before and after the script runs) but interestingly i

Do have some sample images? Is your logo rotated also with the image? Usually QC respects the “orientation” parameter for a jpeg. It might be, that the Automator script for some reason put the orientation parameter back on the resulting image (but shouldn’t, because QC is delivering the image in

That totally worked!!! Thank You!! omg. I'm so close. Now i just need to work on aligning the image to an edge (or figure out when the image is horizontal or vertical) One issue I'm seeing is that quartz doesn't seem to honor camera orientation in images like the finder, lightroom, and photos

Try dragging your watermark pic onto the composition instead of using the image importerthis creates an Image patch, and will embed your watermark in the composition instead of referencing it from an external path. Also - you can find a valid file path for the Image Importer by dragging the
