Hi Andrea,

Apologies if my request has already been covered, here’s my question/suggestion:

My best mosaics are achieved when all (or most) of the 'Tile Variants' are checked, however, when using a “Required Folder with images to use always” it would be nice to have a option for these images NOT to be rotated etc.

Is this possible?

'Always-use’ images are always the important ones and, for me, it would be great if I could ensure they appeared in original orientation.

Loving your software and hope to show you my work in due course.

Many thanks

Michael

You want that all images can be rotated except the required images?
Uhm... will think about on how to implement this feature.

How about "norotate" somewhere in the path or filename?

Then similar settings could be done on a "per image" basis... "change10", change30", "change50", "noflip": that's pretty exciting :wink:

Actually there is a workaround:
- Disable rotate 90 degrees
- For every image you want to allow the rotation create a rotated copy of it, with suffix "___rotated.jpg". Then add to the original tile image the suffix "___original.jpg". It's important that they match the first part before the triple underscore "___". What comes after the triple underscore isn't important.
- In Options set Mosaic Processing "Custom Tile Variants". This option will threat images with the same prefix as the same tile, this is important when taking duplication into account.

It is useful also to emulate an aribtrary rotation (30 degrees and 60 degrees) or a little bit of cropping.

Thanks: the workaround sounds useful (in small number of cases).

Some sort of directory or settings per library sound better :wink:
