Photos default rotation is counterclockwise and option click gets you a clockwise rotation but almost all of my rotations are clockwise based on how I hold an SLR in portrait orientation. So there must be, or should I say, please may there be, a defaults write terminal command to make clockwise the default rotation. I can't be the only one who needs this, right?
TIA

Image menu you can rotate ACW or CW.
Or CMD-R / Opt-CMD-R
You can also select multiple thumbnails and rotate them all in one step. But doesn't your camera set the rotation flag automatically so the import to photos correctly rotated?
Thanks Tony,
The keyboard command actually uses both hands! ;-) Many of my old pictures either never had or were stripped of their extended metadata along the way so no rotation flags. This is obviously not a big issue but if there was a defaults write command to flip the button I would certainly do it.
Cheers.
I very much doubt that there is.
I do too, they would have to intentionally expose it and I can't see it being on anyone's list. It was just a passing thought.
