Script programing (Python)

[Remo]

Hello

When I open a picture taken by my digital camera in "portrait mode" (but not "landscape mode"), Paint Shop Pro X rotates the Picture by 90°automaticly in the first moment. I would like to write a python script that turns and saves all my pictures in "portrait mode". Is that possible? Windows shows a EXIF variable "Exposure program" that is equal to portrait mode or landscape mode. But what is the correct if-statement in Python? I tryed

def Do(Environment):
if 'Exposure program' == "landscape mode":
...

but that doesn't work. Every hint would be appreciated.

Well, you could just compare the width to the height. Since portrait will be taller than wide.

Code: Select all

if App.TargetDocument.Width > App.TargetDocument.Height:
    #In Landscape
    #Command to rotate 90 degrees here

#Command to Save here

If you want to grab the EXIF information you need to call ReturnImageInfo and grab a specific item from the list.

Code: Select all

ImageInfo = App.Do( Environment, "ReturnImageInfo", {})

if ImageInfo['ExifExposureProgram'].lower() == "landscape mode":
    #In Landscape
    #Command to rotate 90 degrees here

I used .lower() in this code in case there is ever a photo with "Landscape Mode" or "LANDSCAPE MODE" in it. It forces the casing of the letters to all be lower case when comparing to "landscape mode" it may be unnecessary but it's just a precaution.

Hello LeviFiction

Thanks for your quick answer. The first method doesn't work, because all Pictures (landscape and portrait mode) have the same width and height. But with your second hint, I managed to do what I want . Thank you again.
