10.4: About Preview and rotated/mirrored images
Authored by: Marba on Nov 29, '07 08:07:38PM

Is this a bug? Any solutions?

My Finder displays a JPEG icon that do not match the actual picture's orientation. In the "Get Info", the tiny icon (found at the top left corner defaults to the standard JPEG icon) but the Preview also do not match the actual picture's orientation.

It seems all these three are different images and could possibly be independent rather than synonymous, bearing the same orientation. I would presume that all should conform to EXIF where available, otherwise take its cue from OS X file systems.

Can anyone recommends any freeware to resolve these? Or are there any shareware, commercial tools to resolve it?

I had reported this as a bug to Apple and was told that Leopard corrects this problem. But I have not upgraded yet. (I am using a dual 1.42GHz G4 with OS X Tiger).
