Rotated images

[0ge]

Hi,

Thanks for this project!

I have encountered a strange behaviour where some images are rotated 90°.
This does not apply to all; some are oriented properly.
What I have found is that it appears to occur when there is metadata attached, which surprised me. (The opposite would have made more sense to me)
If I click the image so that only the image is opened in the browser it has the correct orientation.

Any idea what is happening? Attaching two example images that work or doesn't.

Thanks for this. The alternate sizes (preview and thumbnail) are not persisting the exif data, which in your case contains the orientation (which is common in iPhone photos I understand).

The easiest way to fix this I think is to make use of an imagekit processor called Transform, which can be set to use the exif data. This will fit quite neatly into the existing ImageSpecField fields for the Image model.

Anyway, I have tested this, and it appears to work, but there is a bug in imagekit where it doesn't load the exif data correctly. I've submitted a PR to fix this, and will make the changes to the gallery once it's accepted.

Hi again, as we are still waiting for the PR, I have patched this change into a new release - version 1.1.2 - commit ba907e7

Let me know if you have any issues with it

Perfect – works like a charm!
