Daily Tip: How to rotate a photo in iOS 5

Ever taken a landscape photo when you meant to take a portrait, or vice-versa, and wondered how to change it so your iPhone or iPad displays it correctly? One of the new features of iOS 5 is the ability to rotate images directly with the Photos app.

There have been many times where the accelerometer of my iPhone didn’t trigger the camera rotation when taking a photo, the photos was awesome otherwise, but I didn’t want to be share it on Facebook because I didn’t want to be the loser who uploaded an incorrectly-oriented photo. Well those days are over! Now you can rotate the photos where the iPhone made an error and used the wrong orientation. Don’t be that guy on Facebook or Twitter ever again!

Apple iTunes 10.5.1 beta 2, iTunes Match Available for Developers

Apple tonight released iTunes 10.5.1 beta 2 to developers. They are also welcoming another round of iTunes Match testing, this time including the Apple TV.

href="http://www.everythingicafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Screen-Shot-2011-11-02-at-8.45.55-PM.png" class="lightbox" >class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24986" title="Screen Shot 2011-11-02 at 8.45.55 PM" src="http://www.everythingicafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Screen-Shot-2011-11-02-at-8.45.55-PM.png" alt="iTunes Match" width="539" height="375" />

Apple had previously href="http://www.everythingicafe.com/apple-provides-developers-with-itunes-match-update/2011/10/27/">informed developers that it would delete iTunes Match music on Thursday, October 27th, but didn’t release a subsequent beta until today.

Apple releases iTunes 10.5.2 beta to developers, iTunes Match tests ongoing, now on Apple TV

Following up on the beta release of iOS 5.0.1 for developers, Apple has also released iTunes 10.5.1 beta 2, replacing the now timed-out iTunes 10.5.1 beta 1 and allowing for continued testing of iTunes Match.

The Loop‘s Jim Dalrymple also noticed iTunes Match is now up and running on Apple TV.

While Apple missed their previously stated goal of releasing iTunes Match in September, but since it’s still in beta, it looks like they’d rather take the time to get it right, rather than just right now.

Daily tip: How to enhance a photo in iOS 5

Running iOS 5 and wondering how to automatically enhance your images directly with the built-in Photos app? This is a really simple, one-touch feature that will help give bland photos a lift, and flat pictures that extra oomph.

It’s important to note, that some photos receive more drastic changes than others. If your photo has a lot of colors, they will likely become brighter, if your photo is a little dark, it will likely be lightened, and if your photo is nearly perfect, the changes may not be even noticeable.

Additionally, the enhancement may not always have a positive impact on your photos. The biggest thing to keep an eye out for is over-saturation. For example, there may times when reds become too red, which is not something you want on a portrait.

If you decided after you’ve saved your photo that you liked it better before it was enhanced, repeat the steps above to turn off the enhancement. Your previous save did not cause any permanent destruction to the file.

Hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know in the comments below!
