apply-exif-orientation.sh

apply-exif-orientation.sh retrieves the Orientation EXIF tag from an image file and rotates the actual image data according to the said orientation. The EXIF Orientation tag is deleted in the process. The goal is to allow the image to be displayed correctly by tools that don't handle EXIF metadata (such as ImageMagick's display).

EXIF information is manipulated using exiftool, shipped with the Image::ExifTool Perl module (Debian package: libimage-exiftool-perl). Image is rotated using ImageMagick's convert.
