This helped me immensely! I had a whole folder (500+) of images that needed rotated (albeit not all of them in the same direction, ha). It was nice to be able to do it in a few seconds with a bit of code. Here's the problem I had, though: The resulting images are between 42-46% larger! Individually it doesn't seem like a huge deal, but it makes the resulting folder huge! Any idea why? I screen-capped the "Get info" box of a before (right) and after (left) pair, see below.

EDIT: By larger I mean file size; The image resolution and dimensions appear unchanged.

Use Automator! Create a New Service. then you can right click in the Finder.

Probably worth noting that a: this answer is already in the thread and b: the option you specifically indicate requires the installation of Graphic Converter.

You are correct, there was a link much earlier, but there was clearly much discussion after which did not address this very simple step. So I spelled it out sp it might be more obvious.

However, I do not believe is requires Graphic Converter. The previous link makes no reference to that. If you have some information about this, please fill me in!

The particular action you have highlighted is installed by Graphic Converter. The icon tells you that.

Ah, yes! I have GraphicConverter installed, but it's been so long since I have used it directly.

However, there appears to be a built-in one as well:

There is, and that's exactly the one in the post from a few years ago.

Great, so I'll restate my previous reply:

Have a good night!
