How image rotation works

Arles Image Web Page Creator does not modify your image files like most other image editing applications do. Those other applications rotate the image and then resave it, which often results in image quality degradation.

Arles leaves the image unchanged and instead remembers how much each image must be rotated, thus making sure the image quality is 100% maintained.

Another advantage of this method is that rotating images in Arles is lightning fast. You can rotate multiple images at the same time by selecting them and clicking the Rotate button.

Arles' rotation method makes viewing and processing images a little bit slower, because the images have to be rotated on the fly. If you don't want to take advantage of the Arles rotation feature, just rotate the original image in your favorite image editing application instead.

Tip

Use Reset from the Rotate menu to show the image again in it's original position.

EXIF rotation

Many digital cameras add the orientation at which is picture is taken to EXIF information that is embedded in the photo. Arles automatically rotates images to the upright position on basis of this information.

Sometimes the EXIF position field is not set correctly. This may happen with images from older digital cameras that do not have a position sensor. And sometimes other applications rotate images without updating the info in the EXIF position field.

Arles can automatically fix the EXIF position field in these images. When you rotate images that contains a EXIF position field, Arles will ask you if you want the EXIF information to be updated. If you select Yes, one byte in the EXIF segment of the photo file will be changed. The image quality is fully maintained.

You can set the EXIF options in the Image Explorer Options window.
