Caldera Direct-To-Film RIP has a special Auto Alignment feature that allows you to align and rotate images placed on the layout automatically. 

Automatic alignment of images

What is Auto Alignment?

The auto alignment feature allows you to easily arrange the images in the Studio.

When activated, the function automatically distributes the images in lines aligned to the left, center, and right, or distributed over the width of the media.
