iLife Tutorial: Rotate multiple images in iPhoto

iPhoto’s ‘Import to Library’ routine is fairly intelligent for the most part but sometimes, when importing a bunch of images, you can end up with several that are offset by 90-degrees. There may be a number of possible causes for this, but it’s usually to do with the way that the camera was held when the shots were taken. iPhoto features a handy Rotate button that can be used to correct the problem, but if you have a large number of photos that need to be corrected, it can be a chore to have to rotate them one at a time. Luckily, the simple technique shown here can be employed to correct the orientation of multiple photos at once. When you select a range of shots to adjust, however, be careful that only the images you want to rotate are visible in iPhoto’s main window, as the Cmd+A keyboard shortcut can select all the images in your entire library if you don’t select the right folder first!
