Rotating things
WTF is this. I get multipage TIFFs - faxes via email and they are always upside down. How the hell do I rotate them, all of them, in one go and then save the new file?
I really am at a loss how to do this. Any geeks out there know how to do this on Windows?

Batch process in Photoshop will do this. Google Photoshop actions or batch process.
You simple have to record the action once, open file, rotate, save.
You need an image viewer that understands the orientation tags in TIFF files.
Try Brava and see if your images open with the right side up from the start.
If your goal is to redistribute the images to other people who may not have a good TIFF viewer, you'll want to convert the TIFFs to some other format. If you've got Photoshop, use it, but if you don't, there are much cheaper applications that can do some sort of conversion to a better-supported format (like PNG or JPEG).

Ta, am downloading that but 32mb? WTF is in it? Will report back. Sadly I have no use for Photoshop and couldn't afford it.
Well Brava didn't work. You can rotate each image, but only individually and then there's no save option. You can save a view which just creates a jpg of what you currently see in the window (how is that a useful feature?)
This is truly bizarre that I can't find an easy way to do this. This is something computers should have had licked 20 years ago.
Google it for a while. I just found this http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm
Am sure there is an app that does what you want but you kinda have to find it.
What about Photoshop Elements? Or the Photoshop trail?

It's taken me a while but just tested FastStone. Doesn't work either. I can get one of the pages rotated and saved but not the others. Unbelievable. I'm going to cry for help over at donationcoder.com or when I finally learn C# I'm going to write my own app.
Just to bring this thread to a successful conclusion a nice chap at DonationCoder made me an app
