Lossless rotate based on EXIF value results in slight crop
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2011 5:01 am
I received a portrait oriented photo from an iPhone4 by email, the dimensions were 478 x 640.
As usual, xnview displays it correctly in portrait orientation while most other applications do not. I gather that this is due to most viewers ignoring orientation via EXIF. So I use xnview's "JPEG lossless rotate based on EXIF value", so that it will display correctly in other applications. I've done this many times, this is the first time I noticed a uncommanded crop. The dimensions changed to 464 x 640.
(xnview ver: 1.98 on Win7.)
