| Parameter | In/Out | Description | Other Info |
|---|---|---|---|
| File source | In | The file source is a list of one or more image files to process, using fully qualified pathnames, such as a FileList output parameter from another module. A typical example being the [Files] Find module. |
|

Notes
The [Images] Rotate module can be used to automatically process source images that contain additional metadata that encodes the orientation of the image. This metadata, called EXIF, is common with many modern mobile camera devices which automatically include this information. Normally this helps correct the orientation of the image depending on how the camera was held when the photo was taken. This is done automatically based on the EXIF metadata when the RotateMethod parameter is left to its default value of auto.
Otherwise, you can manually specify rotation by setting the RotateMethod parameter to the Rotate90, Rotate180, or the Rotate270 values. The degree of rotation is always based on the clockwise direction around the images certerpoint. Note that the rotations are in increments of 90 degrees, this does not provide for arbitrary rotation at any angle.
