RightSideUp
A .NET application that automatically rotates images in a folder using EXIF data stored in the image by some cameras. There's no longer a need to go through each image and manually rotate them yourself. If your digital camera has support for storing an image's orientation (such as the Canon Powershot S500 which has the "Intelligent Orientation Sensor") then you should be able to use RightSideUp to automatically rotate all your images to their correct orientation. The source code is also available for download below and should provide a decent starting point for using and manipulating EXIF data with C# and .NET.
Latest version: 1.1 (Released January 9, 2005)
Download: Executable - Source Code
Features:
- Installer and Uninstall support
- Windows Explorer context menu support (auto-rotate individual images or folders with images by right-clicking on them in Explorer and selecting Auto-Rotate option).
- Enable these via the Options dialog available in the Tools menu.
- GUI mode allows you to browse through folders and image files

Does this do a lossless rotate for JPEGs? or do you loss data each time you rotate?

Great application, but wouldn't it be better if all imaging applications could handle the EXIF orientation information instead of rotating the imanges?
Especially Windows Explorer in Windows XP. I was sorry to see that Service Pack 2 didn't change this behaviour.
All of Adobes applications displays images in the correct orientation by reading the EXIF info. No need to rotate images.
