NAME

jpegexiforient - reads or writes the Exif Orientation Tag

SYNOPSIS

jpegexiforient [switches] jpegfile

DESCRIPTION

This is a utility program to get and set the Exif Orientation Tag. It can be used
together with jpegtran in scripts for automatic orientation correction of digital camera
pictures.

The Exif orientation value gives the orientation of the camera relative to the scene when
the image was captured. The relation of the '0th row' and '0th column' to visual position
is shown as below.

Value | 0th Row | 0th Column
------+-------------+-----------
1 | top | left side
2 | top | right side
3 | bottom | right side
4 | bottom | left side
5 | left side | top
6 | right side | top
7 | right side | bottom
8 | left side | bottom

For convenience, here is what the letter F would look like if it were tagged correctly and
displayed by a program that ignores the orientation tag:
