Rotating Images

Prerequisites:
  • Ingeniux CMS 10.6 must be installed. See CMS Statistics to check the site version.
    Troubleshooting
    In CMS 10.0–10.5, an issue prevents users from rotating images via the Ingeniux Image Manipulator. See Changing Image Orientation to rotate images in CMS 10.0–10.5.
  • The image asset must be checked out to the current user.
  • The current user must have asset editing permissions.

Users can apply the Rotate tool to change the orientation of images.

Rather than navigating to the Assets Manager to rotate images, users can use this shortcut tool to rotate images without leaving the Site area.

Note
Changes saved in the Ingeniux Image Manipulator register under the current checked-out version of the asset in the Assets Manager.
