Hey folks,

I have an old stack of raw (CR2) images (circa 2023, Canon 600D), the first 18 are portrait, the next 23 are landscape - This does not normally cause an issue - it usually just gets the orientation right (presumably because auto align?).

However, the resulting stact is attempting to combine the landscape and portrait images without rotation... It's ... interesting, but I have to ask... Is it Art...?

I shoot vertically with a wemacro rail. I can use DPP to re-orient the images but it doesn't seem to 'take' on either windows file explorer or on import - still keeps the original orientation, still fails to align as expected.

HF v 8.3.11
Windows 11
DPP 4.21.30.0

I'm going to fiddle some more with windows settings, or work around the issue. It's only one stack at this point.

If a solution shows up here, I'll be delighted, but mostly I figure you'd want to know. It might be useful to have a manual re-orientation menu item to solve this problem without having to worry _where_ it is being created...

Hi! Rotation is supplied by the EXIF flag. If the flag is incorrect then the visible orientation will be wrong too (alignment doesn't rotate images by 90 degrees). The solution for the future is to turn auto-rotation off in the camera body settings, for your existing photos - rotate them in specialized software.
