Rotation problem

[tharmon]

Hi... I start with a single photo, which is correctly oriented, and add it as directed in step one. However, it is turned sideways after adding. I've tried many ways to rotate the photo so I can add a caption. But I can't get it right. I've tried adding a caption sideways but in the saved photo, the caption is sideways/wrong. I've spent a lot of time trying to get this right, but I can't. Can you help me??? Tom

Hi,

You need to add the Auto Rotate filter before any other filter so your images will be correctly rotated if they were taken with a digital camera.

You can see the image orientation in the preview windows only. The thumbnails are not relevant.

Hi... thanks for your reply.
I started over again and selected the Auto Rotate filter before any other filter. This corrected the orientation of my photo. But then, when I added the next filter to add a caption, the photo came up sideways. And I was left with trying to compose a line of caption that was in the wrong orientation. I'll try to attach a screen shot to illustrate my problem:

Hi,

Thank you for the screenshot.

The Watermark-Text filter's preview does not apply the Auto Rotate filter, so it will show you the image in its original orientation. However in Step 2 you will see all the filters combined and if the Auto Rotate filter is before the Watermark-Text filer the image will have the correct orientation.
