Windows 10: Automatic rotation of Raw files

automatic screen rotation

Hi Michael,

Are you using a 2-in-1 device like the Surface Pro, accessories, such as a detachable keyboard or dock? If so, this can cause screen rotation problems.

To check if an accessory is causing rotation problems, do the following:

• Disconnect the keyboard, dock, or external display.
• Change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.

Also, if you're running a Surface device, I suggest that you run the
Sensors Troubleshooter to scan for problems and fix them automatically. In the
File Download dialog box, select Open, and follow the prompts.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Photos App auto rotating portrait RAW files to landscape

Photos App auto rotating portrait RAW files

Lately whenever I open a raw file (CR2) in Photos it flips it from portrait to landscape and I can't flip it back. It I try to use the rotate feature, it says this can't be applied to RAW files. I've reset the app, uninstalled it etc and nothing works.

Has anyone seen this?

The Frustrating part is it initially recognises the photo as Portrait but then applies a preset and rotates the file. (Landscape images do not rotate)

Current OS Windows 11 Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.434)

Photos Version 2021.21120.8011.0

Previously this was a problem here:

Windows 10 (1809, build 17763.404)

Photos version 2019.19021.18010.0

 

Microsoft Photo App auto rotating raw image files from portrait to landscape

Since the latest update of the Photo App (2019.19021.18010.0) raw image files which are originally in portrait format are automatically rotated to landscape view and the manual rotation is disabled. This only applies to raw images and not to formats such
as .jpg or .png.

The issue is only present in the view mode of the app while the image appears correctly in the editing mode.

Is there a way of disabling set auto rotation or a work around of stopping the app from doing that?
