Support EXIF orientation tag #182

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add cover art with (for example) 500x450 pixels
2. Preview shows cover art turned counter clockwise one step
3.

How about the reproducibility (always, sometimes, rarely, ...)?
Always

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Non-turned cover art image

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 20130602 (143.2) on Mac OS X 10.8.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I noticed that when I add a cover art image to a CD I want to rip which is not 
square (i.e. 500x500 for example) it will turn the image counter clockwise one 
step.
The option to Scale large images when embedding cover art is turned off, but 
even enabled it doesn't solve the problem.

I have attached a screenshot of XLD showing the problem.

Cannot confirm. Can you upload the cover image file?

Here it is. I have several of the same sort, part of a compilation.
All in 500x450 pixel resolution.

Odd, even the preview here shows it wrong, even though Finder preview and 
Preview self show it right, as does a rip I did with Phile Audio a while back.

The image has an EXIF tag to rotate the image. Aspect ratio is not a cause of 
this problem.

Ah, alright. That explains it. Weird tag to have though...

At least it's not a bug, I just need to look up how to alter that EXIF tag then.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Well, the original image is rotated. EXIF tag fixes it.

The original was indeed, because of the way I scanned it.
But rotated it with Preview, and some other editing.

What moron made up this tag???
Just tried a freeware tool to edit the file I uploaded here, but no luck so far.
Will figure it out eventually, just damn annoying.

Why does XLD use EXIF tags anyway? Isn't the whole purpose of adding a cover 
art image to have a cover art image, and nothing more?
Or is it due to some library that is used?

Again, the image you uploaded is already rotated without EXIF tag (as you can 
see here). Finder or Preview.app does read EXIF tag and fixes the rotation, but 
XLD (and webbrowser) doesn't.

I had a cousin of mine, who does a lot with photography, edit the tags in 
Lightroom.
Saved me loads of time :-)

Supported in the latest version.

I just had a CD ripped for which I had a cover as the one mentioned in this 
topic.
Same EXIF rotate tag.

If the new version is supposed to rotate the the image so it shows correct in 
any player, it's doesn't work for iTunes on my Mac.

Or am I misunderstanding the support for the tag here?

I guess you turn off the image resizing option in XLD.

If XLD doesn't resize an image, the original image (with orientation tag) is 
embedded to output files. So it depends on a player whether it is shown 
properly.

As far as I've tested Finder does, but iTunes doesn't.

Yes, I have it turned off. I wasn't aware the rotate would be part of the 
resize option.
Thought it program just detected and rotated accordingly.

I will have a go at it again.
Thanks.
