Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One

10. Stand the thumbnails upright. In the upper-right corner of the
    Bridge is a group of five shortcut buttons. Click the button, as
    I’m doing in Figure 1-11. This rotates the selected thumbnails
    90 degrees clockwise, so two of them are now upright.


11. Rotate the first image 180 degrees. Click the thumbnail in
    the top-left corner so that only it is selected. Press the Ctrl key
    (or � on the Mac) with the right bracket key, , to rotate the
    thumbnail 90 degrees clockwise, and then do it again to turn
    the thumbnail upright.

Press Ctrl+ or �- to rotate the thumbnail counterclockwise.

It might sound odd, but the Bridge does not rotate the actual im-

ages when you click or use the keyboard shortcut to turn them.

Rather, it rotates the thumbnails and appends a bit of extra

information to the files that lets Photoshop know to rotate the

images when you open them. A program that does not recog-

nize this rotation instruction—such as your operating system,

a Web browser, or even an older version of Photoshop (CS or

earlier)—will open the image as it really is, on its side.
