Q: How to adjust the picture orientation

[bdim404]

I used your theme to build my own site, but some of the images I uploaded are clearly vertical, but the site will show them rotated to landscape.

Example:
This is the photo what i upload:

This is the what it looks on my site:

So... How can I solve this problems?

See https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/image-exif-orientation/22902 and https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/why-is-hugo-rotating-my-image/23329.

Wow, I see, it seems to me that you're using the image processed by hugo here in layouts/partials/function/getImageSlice.html?

That's processing, what I mean is parsing. Bridget will only scale your image.

If so, I can try to modify the contents of this file to try to read the orientation value of the exif and use it to assist in straightening the image.

Yes you can, if I remember correctly, there is a code snippet in one of the link I provided above.

I also had this problem.
With the way that you solved it did it require handling it within that getImageSlice.html?
Would it be possible to add that update to the project?

Would it be possible to add that update to the project?

If you can provide a minimal reproduction with steps to reproduce, yes.

Hi ! I found that the problem is EXIF message different with the picture look like, If you tyied to open the picture by GIMP, you will be notice that "This image contains EXIF orientation metadata. Do you want to rotate the image?"

So I write a python srcipt to fix that. You can try it from here.

Hi, I tried it and it didn't solve the flip problem of the image. Can you take a look at your workflow?

First of all, the script works perfectly fine for me without any problems. Secondly if you have any problems coming up, please let me know what the exact problem is. Lastly, it is recommended that the script be modified to suit your situation.
