Ref: PWP 8.0.exe 22 Feb 2019 and Win10-64bit Home

When using File\Save; File\Save as; or Export: images taken with a portrait orientation using a Canon 350D or FujiFilm X100T camera are being saved rotated 90 degrees CCW in a landscape orientation. Win10 system thumbnails are shown correctly before the PWP8 saves as are the images when first opened in the browser.

These images have meta data:
[MakerNotes] AutoRotate : Rotate 270 CW .....Canon EOS-350D
[EXIF] Orientation : Rotate 270 CW .....FujiFilm X100T

Anyone else experiencing this?

Sounds like an unintended consequence of using ExifTool. I unrotate images on open and used to save them with normal orientation. I need to tell ExifTool not to copy the old orientation.

...I did not realize ExifTool would copy the dpi setting from the original file, overwriting what I had set when saving the file...JS...

Do you suppose something similar is happening here?

Portrait orientated images for both the Canon 350D and FujiFilm X100T camera will be PWP8 Save or Save As or Export with:

an Exif:Orientation = 8 [ Rotate 270 CW ]

If I subsequently execute a:

exiftool.exe -Exif:Orientation#="1" -overwrite_original -k

the image is rotated 90 degrees CW where Exif:Orientation = 1 [Horizontal (normal) ] and no backup file is generated [-overwrite_original] which is the correct orientation, matching that of the original image.

Added note: when taking portrait orientated images with these two cameras, I will generally rotate them 90 degrees CCW.

Yes, same problem. I fixed that as well for the next release.
