Other info: It is said that Windows image views often don't recognize the image metadata. So is Apple using this metadata instead of the EXIF info within the image? Why not write the correct orientation to both? Still seems Apple is wrong even though Windows software may not always look both places.Other info: It is said that Windows image views often don't recognize the image metadata. What Apple calls Metadata is the EXIF info within the image. The image can be upside down and have EXIF data that says "this image is upside down so flip it to view it" and then modern image viewing software is supposed to read this EXIF metadata and know to flip the image when displaying it. Well, that is kind of like putting all the photographs upside down in the family photo album, then on the cover post a note to hold the album upside down when viewing the photographs! How dumb is that? Why not just save the damn image in the correct orientation and skip the meta data bs? Well newer Windows image views including those bundled with Windows 8 and above will read the EXIF meta data and flip images that are upside down. Still, what a bunch of extra nonsense for a problem that could be solved by Apple just saving the image correctly.
