LR2 preset problem...

A quick question - I've been beating my head on the desk trying to sort this one for ages now...

I have a load of grad filters I've turned into presets. They appear to be locking to the orientation of an image - so I'm stuck with a landscape grad on a portrait pic. Rotating the image doesn't work and I don't really want to go through every single preset and flip/save all these grads.

Is there a way to rotate a preset or to tell LR which way is up for any given image?

Any help much appreciated!!

I'm not sure exactly what you are seeing -- are you talking about straightforward horizontal or vertical gradients? For example, if I take a "portrait"-oriented shot and draw a gradient from the top to the middle to lower exposure, then save it as a gradient preset and then apply it to a landscape-oriented shot, it applies the gradient to that shot, spread over the width of that shot. Are you saying you don't see that, or do you have some specifics about the gradient that aren't applying the way you like? I get similar results applying a diagonal gradient, so try to be specific about any details I may be missing.

Here's one to illustrate the problem. I created the presets in landscape:

That's not right! With mine, I tried all three directions from both portrait and landscape -- top down, bottom up, and from the corners, and the design stayed the same.

By any chance were these pictures rotated after downloading them? I have my camera set to auto-rotate and they never show up out-of-orientation.
