I’ve got a fancy camera that writes what’s called EXIF (EXchangeable Image Format) metadata into the image about, among many other things, the proper orientation of the image. That’s pretty nice since it means that all the images have the same dimensions (width by height) when written to disk, but unless your rendering software respects the metadata and spins the pixels accordingly when writing them out to a monitor, looking at your images can leave you with a real crick in your neck. Jump to the bottom of this post for solution code, but read on for entertainment.
