Recognising Image Orientation on upload

[rickm]

Noticed a very minor thing on the built in image field that could be improved. Apologies if this has been suggested before, or if I've missed the option to rotate.

Basically images taken on some mobile phones and even modern cameras have an attribute in the exif data that tells you the orientation that the photo should be handled in. Currently if you upload a photo that was taken upside down for example, it doesn't pick that up and leaves it upside down.

It'd be great if during the upload, ProcessWire could extract the exif orientation data and rotate the image accordingly.

Hi rickm,
This is recognized when images are resized. We want not to overwrite the original files with the GD-lib, because it would erase all metadata and even can modify the original image data significantly!
So all variations created by ProcessWire are autoRotated correctly. If this doesn't work for you please check in your site/config.php the setting for config->ImageSizerOptions["autoRotation"].
