Why rotate an image?

Sometimes pictures are displayed sideways or upside-down on your computer or after publishing online. The most obvious way to avoid an incorrect orientation is to keep a proper camera position while taking a photo. But that might not be enough when opening the photo in software that doesn’t honor the orientation metadata.

Default orientation depends on a camera or smartphone a photo was taken on. Most devices save the orientation metadata based on the sensor which detects the camera’s position. Unfortunately, in some applications pictures will look wrong because the orientation tag is disregarded. In this case, you can physically rotate the photo by 90 degrees left or right to change image orientation from landscape to portrait, or the other way around. Remarkably, the quality of rotated pictures shouldn’t decrease because their internal pixel data will be intact.
