Rotate photos

When photos are imported into a project, some may be displayed in an incorrect orientation, requiring you to rotate them. The tool strip provides a Rotate tool for rotating selected photos counterclockwise. You can rotate photos individually or select a group and rotate them all at once. You can also select photos and quickly rotate them using keyboard shortcuts.

Do one of the following:

Select the photo you want to rotate, then choose Photos > Rotate Counterclockwise (or press [), or choose Photos > Rotate Clockwise (or press ]).
Select a photo and click the Rotate tool in the tool strip to rotate the photo counterclockwise, or Option-click the Rotate tool to rotate the photo clockwise.
Make sure no photos are selected, then select the Rotate tool in the tool strip, and click a photo to rotate it counterclockwise, or Option-click a photo to rotate it clockwise.

Rotate a group of selected photos

Do one of the following:

Select a group of photos, then choose Photos > Rotate Counterclockwise (or press [), or choose Photos > Rotate Clockwise (or press ]).
Select a group of photos, then click the Rotate tool in the tool strip to rotate the photos counterclockwise, or Option-click the Rotate tool to rotate the photos clockwise.
