How to batch rotate image to make them all landscape?

Question

I have a thousand of pictures of the same fixed scene, but for an unknown reason some of them are vertical, not horizontal.

So I would like to batch process all the images and rotate them 90° if the width is smaller than the height of the image.

I tried to play with the "Action" and the "Batch process" feature, but I did not find where I can add conditional to my scripts.

Answer 1

You can put a Conditional step in an action: use the Insert Conditional... command in the Actions flyout menu:

So first create an action to rotate and save a document. Then create an action with a condition. There's a rule If Current Document Is Landscape

so Then Play Action will remain None and Else Play Action will be your rotate & save action.

Answer 2

Easier solution:

• Use Bridge, which has a filter for orientation.
• Drop the images into a folder, click the 'portrait' filter, which selects every portrait image in your folder, then the rotate tool at the top.
• Done.
