How to rotate a batch of images/photos

I just scanned a multiple page document and I just saw that all my pages are upside down. For one image is easy to rotate … just open it and use the rotation arrows to do it. But when you deal with 60 of them, you might want to do it all at once.

And that’s pretty easy to be done.

  1. Select all files …. CTRL+A … click and drag for selection … CTRL+click … SHIFT and arrow keys.
  2. Right Click and select Rotate clockwise or Anticlockwise

Have fun!

If you format your drive in FAT32, you will face all limitations of this old protocol (e.g. max file-size of 4GB) … if NTFS you will get all the Windows options available but will be read-only for Mac… if you format it in Mac OS Extended you will not be able to use it in Windows. The solution is a to make a compromise and use exFAT. Read More

How to add your mouse device to PC and Mac (e.g. Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Mouse)

I recently bought a new Bluetooth mouse for my laptop… a Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Mouse. It’s a very beautiful mouse with a very good quality. It has a magnetic battery cover for it’s two AAA batteries that are easily mounted on the same side.

This mouse is very easy to connect to your Windows or macOS device. Read More
