Default Photos rotation

Photos default rotation is counterclockwise and option click gets you a clockwise rotation but almost all of my rotations are clockwise based on how I hold an SLR in portrait orientation. So there must be, or should I say, please may there be, a defaults write terminal command to make clockwise the default rotation. I can't be the only one who needs this, right?


TIA

Thanks Tony,


The keyboard command actually uses both hands! ;-) Many of my old pictures either never had or were stripped of their extended metadata along the way so no rotation flags. This is obviously not a big issue but if there was a defaults write command to flip the button I would certainly do it.

Cheers.
