Save photo after rotating?

Hey everyone, can someone tell me how to save the photo after I rotated it? It seems like it only rotates the photo in iPhoto, but when you open the original files it doesn't save the rotation. I'm would to rotate photos and save them. Any help? Thanks!

How are you opening the Original files? Are you accessing the files in the Originals folder in the Finder?

It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss

You know that iPhoto performs all operations on a copy of the file and that your Original is left untouched?

You'll need to export them from iPhoto to a folder and then import that into FCE. This is because FCE, like it's big brother FCP and even Aperture, want to manage the files themselves and so won't integrate with a consumer level app like iPhoto. This is the only safe way to do this. It's certainly the fastest - and a whole lot faster than trying to locate a single pics in iPhoto Library Folder / Originals/ Rollwhatever - or Modified / Roll Whatever. Remember, that's a very good way to damage your library.
