Rotate image on slideshow (iMovie) ???

I want to make a slideshow for a wedding I attended. I took pictures and uploaded them onto my iMac. When I dragged the photos onto iMovie to make a slideshow my vertical images are now horizontal.... How do I rotate my images because I am getting very frustrated with this. If it matters, on my iMac when I look at my photos I uploaded from my camera, the image thumbnail makes the photos all look like they are horizontal, but when I click a picture that is suppose to be vertical it shows up vertical... just for some reason the thumbnail is horizontal. I hope I am making sense... can anyone please help me???

Basically I just want to rotate my pictures so they appear vertical like they are suppose to appear.

Oh I also have iDVD so if anyone knows how to do it on that also, that would help, because I tried making the same slideshow on both programs, but this rotating images is really getting to me now.

Thank you

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

It seems as iMovie doesn't properly recognize the "rotation" flag embedded in the picture. I can't help you with that.

I always create my slide shows with "Photo To Movie", which gives you better control and better quality.

while that was helpful, I really do not feel like purchasing something right now. I was making a slideshow and I love the program, but the watermark appears on it unless I purchase the full version... is there anything else I could do??

Resaving the images you want to use in iMovie, perhaps? Open in the "Preview" application and do a "Save As" under a NEW name. Use that image and see if it helps.

I tried that... that is the reason why I am so frustrated. I just want to make a wedding montage and I really love that program you mentioned but I can't afford to buy it right now tight budget. I save the image as Vertical... but the thumbnail still shows up as horiztontal, but when I blow the image it shows up vertical.. but when I drag it into iMovie it goes back to horizontal. GRRRRRRR this is really frustrating.

Then try (re)saving it in another application. Try gimp. http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
