XnView Software

1. DNG image with portrait orientation shows fine in full screen view and thumbnail
2. DNG is cropped from vertical to become horizontal image
3. DNG shows rotated 90° in both preview and thumbnail.

Same cropped DNG shows with proper horizontal orientation in other image viewers so must be bug in XnView MP.

Hello, were you able to reproduce?

you have always the EXIF orientation tag (Rotate 270)

Yes both DNG's have Orientation: Rotate 270 CW

FastStone, ACDSee Photo Studio, Photoshop Adobe Camera RAW displays both original.dng and cropped.dng with proper orientation problem only in XnView MP. This orientation tag is added by Adobe DNG Converter when i converted ARW to DNG and probably needed.

When i strip this orientation tag using ExifTool - both original.dng & cropped.dng become showing with with incorrect orientation in all viewers.

Before stripping this tag only cropped.dng showed incorrect orientation in XnView MP.

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.9.6. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
