Odd Image Rotation

murphomatic

Running v0.8.2 and using imgbed plugin to render images directly from URLs within the post content. Having an odd issue where images show rotated in 90-degree fashion.

Have a look at: http://sportbikes.ws/topic/36/cox-radiator-guard-ftw

Clicking on the image shows it in its natural state (it's shown rotated to a landscape view in the post content, but clicking on it opens it and displays in a portrait orientation).

I don't see any CSS transforms going on that would rotate the image in the post content. WTF?

<baris>

Does it happen on one of the default themes? Try persona.

If you open your image in GIMP it states

According to the EXIF data, this image is rotated.
Would you like GIMP to rotate it into the standard orientation?

Seems like browsers ignore EXIF within img-tags o_O

Seems like the only cross-browser solution (for now) is to edit your image and remove the EXIF in favor of data-wise rotation.

The devs may consider adding the css image-orientation: from-image anyways for the hope of a broad support in future .
