Rotate every other image from a folder
I need some help trying to figure this out. I know Scan Tailor can do it, but unfortunately I can't skip any steps in the process... So it's not an option. I only want to rotate every other image from a folder and nothing else.
Maybe move all odd pages to a different folder and batch process them? Any ideas? |

That is one thing you could do. You could also try it with ImageMagick. I scan with a multifunction machine which sometimes do this. Only, that machine gives me a pdf and for pdf I can use pdftk to do that easily.
If ImageMagick can't do it in one step, you might want to convert the images to pdf (with ImageMagick), combine all pdf's into one (with pdftk), rotate every other page (with pdftk), split the pdf into separate pdf per page (with pdftk), convert the pdf's back to images (with ImageMagick). Quite a route... You might also try a program like XnView or IrfanView or something like that. There you can select multiple images and rotate them. |

Since you didn't mention the file name convention that you used, it'd hard to make suggestions for separating odd and even pages, but since you mentioned that you could copy the odd pages to a separate folder, I'm assuming that you already figured this part out and describe only the conversion part.
You could easily rotate all images in one folder with ImageMagick and a batch file. Simply install ImageMagic, put all odd images in one folder, save the following command line as batch file with the extension .bat or .cmd in the same folder and execute it: Code:
FOR %%f IN ("*.jpg") DO (mogrify -rotate 90 "%%f") |

I can probably use Irfanview to batch rotate them. But only if I could somehow separate every odd (or even) page from the rest...
After the scanning I used "Bulk Rename Utility" to rename everything starting from 003. Now they're in sequence and correspond to the printed page: 004.jpg, 005.jpg, 006.jpg, etc., except that every other page is rotated 180 degrees. Is there a way to divide them somehow into a "Left" folder and a "Right" folder? |

In a bash shell you can use regex-like commands, so all even files are *[02468].jpg, and all odd files are *[13579].jpg
Even if you can't do that directly in windows (which I ignore) you can probably move *1.jpg to a different folder, then move *3.jpg, then *5.jpg... and you'll have all odd files in the folder. |

You know that's actually not a bad idea...
For Windows you can create a .bat (or .cmd) file with: Code:
@echo off move /y "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Both\*0.jpg" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Left Side" move /y "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Both\*2.jpg" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Left Side" move /y "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Both\*4.jpg" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Left Side" move /y "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Both\*6.jpg" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Left Side" move /y "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Both\*8.jpg" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Left Side" Code:
$ mv /media/Storage/Both/*[02468].jpg "/media/Storage/Left Side" |
