Image orientation is not the same as iPhone orientation #17

default image orientation for a camera is landscape, with the camera button on the right. When a user takes a picture using the iPhone with the camera button on the right, the image is displayed in the expected orientation. If they take a picture with the home button at the bottom, the image is displayed with the "correct" default camera orientation: that is, it appears to have been rotated clockwise.
However, the iPhone default orientation is portrait. And, iPhone users expect the app to understand what's up and what's down when the picture is taken by the orientation of the phone, the way the Apple products do. We should probably change the image's orientation to match the user expectations for iPhone rather than matching expected default camera orientation

so fixing the problem with the use button fixed the orientation problem.
