How to write the picture orientation into capture and keyword fields?

[photostrupp]

Hi,
german stock agencies like to see "Querformat" aka "landscape" or "Hochformat" aka "portrait" in the caption and keyword fields.
I inserted {rot}, but this works only with some photos.

Is there a way to insert the orientation into the the fields?

Regards, Christian

I would have recommended using Code Replacement along with the {rot} variable, but since images can be hard-rotated to an orientation, their {rot} would always be zero and wouldn't be an indication of their orientation.

So I don't have a solution for you at this time that would be automatic.

Maybe doing what kirk says (adding {rot} and code replacement automatically) can be followed by a sort by orinentatio then it is faster to manually check if it is correctly set or not. You can set up custom sorts to arrange the same rotation images together and have PM display the current rotation under the thumbnails making it easyer to easily spot which ones aren't correctly done in the first automated step.

Hi,

I found a workaround: Sort by width - then I can select the portrait formats with few clicks, load a IPTC stationary template and add "Querformat" to all selected. Less work than by code replacement.
Have a beautyfull sunday!
