Problems generally only show up when someone managed to damage an individual image by rotating it in an image editor that, somehow, preserved all the EXIF data without updating its orientation info. Since you uploaded it, can I ask what you used to process the image before uploading it that might have left it in this state? (And yes, we know that allowing you to preview & fix the rotation *during* the upload process will be a big help. There should be a bugzilla entry ready for comments somewhere.) > And how does one get this fixed?
