My imported image is wrongly oriented, how do I rotate it the right way? Thank you ---

Just as any other object in SU. Select the image and use the Rotate and/or Move Tools. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/d/e/de6c5b2ff28028b349cd68ce1b95bb26c855e316.png) ---

I have already tried of course. But we cannot select a suitable imported image, so I cannot rotate it ---

🤔 Maybe you imported it as a “Matched Photo”? [Matching a Photo to a Model (or a Model to a Photo) | SketchUp Help](https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/matching-photo-model-or-model-photo) ---

I imported it as an “adapted image” to model the facades of the house and keep the textures on it. ---

At least give us a screenshot to have a hope of guessing what you have done, the model itself would be better. ---

So you are trying to use the image in the MatchPhoto function. You should probably open the photo in a photo editor, rotate it there and save. Do not crop it. Then try again. ---

Can you update your profile? You do not specify your operating system (Mac or Windows). With Mac OS three is a mice feature that allows rotations, among other things. From the Finder, highlight the file then press the Space Bar. This opens a simple image/movie editor. On the top of the window you see a rotate tool. It does a 90° counterclockwise rotation. Since you need a 90° clockwise rotation, you need to press that button 3 times. This trick also works with videos and come very handy to rotate videos that were taken in portrait mode with a phone and that are shown sideway either on a computer, a TV or when uploaded on the Net. If you are on Windows, you need to find a program that can do the same thing as Anssi wrote it. ---

Thank you. I thought we could return it directly with Sketchup. The answer is no, so he will continue to use photo editing software. Thank you all
