Not a real coder so my excuse for messy code. I 'm sure someone can improve and integrate this better.

if (in_array($object->type, $this->allowed_mime_types))

I added this (right before you scale the image)
```
// Path to an image containing exif data
$imagePath = $object_path;
// new JImage object from image path
$image = new JImage($imagePath);
// Read the exif data from the image
$exif = exif_read_data($imagePath);
$rotate = 0;
// Get the angle to rotate the image based on the orientation
if (!empty($exif['Orientation'])) {
// Based on the orientation of time image, assign the rotation angle.
switch ($exif['Orientation']) {
case 8:
$rotate = 90;
break;
case 3:
$rotate = 180;
break;
case 6:
$rotate = -90;
break;
}
// Rotate the image appropriately
$newImage = $image->rotate($rotate);;
// Overwrite the old image with new image
if (!$newImage->toFile($imagePath)) {
die("Failed to overwrite file: " . $imagePath);
}
}
it rotates the image before scaling it. Makes uploads from phones super easy.
