iPhone image documents
« on: February 15, 2026, 05:29:54 PM »

i have a workflow like this:

iphone -> transfer to intel mac -> transfer to OS9 -> turn canvas for 90 degress using photoshop -> upload to ftp -> browse in a webbrowsers using windows.

unfortunately under windows, the images are not turned and still come up with their original orientation.

i know that i could fix it by using "save as" in photoshop.

but for now i first want to learn where that info in the iPhone picture files actually is, and if it comes from the phone or from 10.13´s picture viewer. (?)

Should be the EXIF "Orientation" attribute

It comes from the camera, i.e phone.

Use exiftool to solve your problems:

Or iView MediaPro on OS9 or 10.13. It is THE tool for all sorts of (batch) processing, including rotating, re-sizing and so on. Very decent algorithm. No need to go to PS, if you're not using layers, plug-ins and all that stuff.

P.S. You can also use exiftool to delete all metadata (EXIF) from your images and then rotate them with the software of your choice.

The only problem with this approach is that it also deletes all ICC color profiles, but there's always a ColorSync script 'Embed.app' to add them back. It works in batch mode too, if dragged and dropped.
