Hi James, As a high-end DSLR, the D700 is (as I understand it) actually packaging RAW-style CCD image data inside of a TIFF file. This works because the TIFF file format is like a container for channels of image data.
What I think is going on here is that there is some bit of metadata stored in the RAW/TIFF files generated by your D700 that holds photo orientation information that Shotwell is not respecting. Since this issue is camera-specific, fixing it won't be a high priority for us on the dev team. That said, when/if we do get around to tackling this problem, having a reference image that exhibits the problem would be invaluable. So could you send one of your mis-oriented images to [email protected]? If the file is too big to send as an attachment, could you upload it to a cloud-based file sharing service (like Dropbox) and then send us a link?
