Image EXIF orientation

Hi!

You will have to check the value of the $photo.Exif.Tags.Orientation to determine which way the photo needs to be rotated. The link provided by @b_rad shows how the values of the .Orientation field relate to the spacial orientation of the image:

Using this, you can write a snippet that can rotate the image based on the .Oritientation value:

{{ with $photo }}
    {{ $orientation = .Exif.Tags.Orientation }}
    {{ if eq $orientation 1 }}
      // Do nothing, image is right-side up
    {{ else if (eq $orientation 8) }}
      // Rotate the image 90deg CCW (.Resize "r90")
     ... so on
    {{ end }}
{{ end }}
