Lossless rotation for .heic, .dng, etc...

Post by golemus »

Lossless rotation is important feature when (it does happen too often) your cameras orientation sensor makes a mistake and portrait pic comes as landscape (or vice versa). Most important formats that should have this is .heic and .dng. To be honest I am not sure if it can be done in RAW format such as .dng but same orientation mistakes can happen there as well. Possibly also for .avif and JPEG XL but they are not yet common so maybe not in equally high priority. Also .png and .webp miss lossless rotation but for them it is probably less relevant.

HEIC is the default format not just on iPhones, but also on (most/all?) Samsung phones and possibly others too. So there might be billions of people snapping HEIC photos regularly.

It would be a very useful feature to have in XnView MP.
