A simple (and elegant) solution would be to add a "Rotate" button to the Lightbox window in the upcoming 760.

I'll look in to adding this, or at least getting one available for 761. So at least the image can be rotated independently of whatever the EXIF data says, and independently of whatever device the end user is using.


EDIT 1: Doing this, the final result will be an image posted exactly as the user uploaded. And no monkeying-around with ImageMagick and the requirements of a site admin to make sure their server has that third-party software installed and configured correctly.

EDIT 2: Doing things this way, is also backwards compatible with all the previously attached images.

EDIT 3: No additional server resources are needed or are used in the process smile

EDIT 4: No more edit! grin
