Rotating image items PaperPort rotate Rotating image items

Rotating an item is useful when you inadvertently scan the item upside down or sideways and want it in the upright position.

You might also want to quickly rotate several pages in a single batch operation, or change the original direction of an image to create a different impact.

Using the Rotate feature, you can repeatedly rotate items 90 degrees or flip them 180 degrees.

You can also auto-orient pages when scanning with a scan profile, so text appears right-side up.

  1. Select one or several items you want to rotate.

  2. On the Item ribbon, click the arrow next to PaperPort rotate90 Rotating image items Rotate and then choose PaperPort rotate left Rotating image items Left, PaperPort rotate right Rotating image items Right or PaperPort rotate halfturn Rotating image items Half Turn.

To auto-orient all images scanned by a scan profile

  1. On the Scan or Get Photo pane, select a scan profile that should contain auto-rotating.

Auto-orient works best on images containing text. If this is detected sideways or upside down, the image is rotated to correct it.
