Images rotating when uploading

[Anonymous]

I’ve seen this issue posted before with no resolutions offered. I’m uploading a couple dozen images some of which randomly rotate 90 or 180 degrees – even though the original images are not. I’ve used my photo editor to try to compensate for this but the upload still rotates them as though no changes had been made.

What’s happening?

Gmedia saves original images untouched and with all the EXIF information, then Gmedia check in the EXIF how the image oriented and rotate it due to information from EXIF. After that web optimised image and thumbnail saved. If you use some program which rotate image but doesn’t change this information in EXIF, then uploaded image will be rotated again in Gmedia Library.
