hi The image you provided is already in landscape, is it supposed to be portrait?

[wprater]

Hi. There must be something goofy going on. When I view on my computer the images are portrait. When I preview from the URL you gave me, they are landscape and it's the same image. Perhaps there is a meta tag that flips the image for some image viewers?

Looks as if there is an orientation flag set to 90 deg. CW

How is the orientation flag being set? I am inclined to not support or look for the flag orientation flag but to add rotate functionality to the gallery. Any thoughts?

[wprater]

It's being set in the EXIF data of the jpeg. It would probably be a good idea to read the data, adhere to it and rotate accordingly. Especially if you're planning to add rotation to the tool anyway.

I might add cropping functionality. I'll be sure to let you know when I do.
