I am the middle of scanning/restoring 100s of photos and gave up on my expensive Photoshop. Prompts are working well except for one simple case. Occasionally I simply need to rotate the image 90 degrees (flat 2D "Rotate Canvas"). I cannot get Gemini to do this. It simply ignores everything I try. This is one click in Photoshop (and most image programs).

I google and I get directions for rotating the camera in 3D etc.

Please share with me the magic prompt that will rotate a 2D restored photograph.

I am processing a ton of scanned old prints and my work flow starts with Neural Filter so I am using it heavily. On the older of the two machines I get into the state where it will do a "restore" successfully if I don't touch "Scratch Reduction" but the minute I slide it above 0, the plug-in is disable. Tends not to do this on the newer (somewhat faster machines) as much. On both machines about very 10-15 photos photoshop the neural plugin(s) will just hang Photoshop in the "loading" stage and I had to kill the process (which takes a BUNCH of tries). Usually the same photo works in the restarted photoshop. These continued failures are really slowing down the process and I have 100s of photos to go.

Anyone figure out a way to use this or an alternative? Yes I have tried all the Adobe things like relogin to the cloud, clear the Neural cache, etc. Rearranged my scratch disks. Cleaned my C drive. Logged out of my VPN. Nothing has much of an impact on this neverending-beta plug-in

Thinking about returning to Topaz even though they raised the cost of their products a HUGE amount when they went to a subscription model (gee where did that idea come from?)

Any ideas?

Looking for a way to get the "Find Duplicates" plug-in to sort by size so I can attack the big books first.

Don't see a way of doing this at first glance.

Anybody figure this out?

I have been using Ubuntu for many years a hobby OS with my primary working desktop as Windooz. I actually use Raspberry OS a lot more compared to Intelbox-Ubuntu. This last round with 26 LTS has left me so frustrated I am looking for alternatives. I am mostly looking for a Linux that I can access remotely from a W11 desktop. With the Pi-os this was one switch and it just worked. With Ubuntu I have tried everything to get the crappy "Remote Desktop" to work and I give up. So recommendations for a distro that you can actually operate remotely (preferably with VNC)?

I googled around and can't find an answer. When I do a "Get Info" and see multiple files, which one on the list is going to play when I hit the Play button? The first on the list? Last on the list? ??
