Photo Rotate 1.6 approved

Photo Rotate 1.6 has been approved by Apple and is now in the App Store.

Version 1.6 contains the following changes from 1.5:
* Fixed a positioning offset bug in the Crop function.
* The crop area is now always clearly highlighted in a transparent blue for proper framing.

This application lets you rotate photos. Sometimes, when holding your iPhone at a strange angle and taking a photo, the orientation of the photo is incorrect. This app lets you correct the rotation of the photo, so you can view it correctly, or upload it to a site such as facebook the correct way up.

The powerful Crop function allows arbitrary rotation, scaling and positioning with single and multi-touch gestures.

1. Select the photo from your camera roll or photo library

2. Rotate, mirror or crop the photo until it looks the way you want it to.

3. Save the rotated photo. This will save to the “Camera Roll” (for iPhone) or “Saved Photos” (for iPod Touch) as a new photo.

Photo Rotate supports the following operations:
*Rotate 90 degrees Clockwise
*Rotate 90 degrees Anticlockwise
*Rotate 180 degrees
*Mirror horizontally
*Mirror vertically
*Crop by manually positioning and rotating with finger gestures

    Is there any way to save the photo to the original destination? I need to rotate a few photos and having them saved to the camera roll is no good because it messes up my albums :(

      Hi Rob,

      Unfortunately Apple do not allow photos to be replaced by 3rd party software, all they allow for 3rd party devs is to save a copy in the Camera Roll. :(

    Every time I select a photo to rotate the app crashes. Is this a known issue?

      The app should only crash after selecting a photo if the photo is too big for the device’s memory to have two copies in memory at once (required for rotating). Was the photo taken with the device’s camera? How big is it? Also try rebooting the device.
