Unfortunately in one of my photos the prientation exif tag is wrong.

Instead of "horizontal (normal)" it is "Rotate 90 CW".

How can I change the value through ExifToolGUI?

I miss a rightclick context menu "Edit".
The column cell in tab "Metadata" is not editable as well.

How else can I achieve it?

Hi Peter,

Generally, I think these are the steps:

Select the workspace tab, then add the Orientation tag, then set it to a value of "horizontal".

Sorry I can't be more specific, but I can't run ExifToolGUI right now to check this out.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

The Orientation tag is already included in default minimal workspace; it allows numeric editing:

[ 1 ]=0°, [ 3 ]=180°, [ 6 ]=+90°, [ 8 ]=-90° (as displayed in the "hint text column")

Have a nice day!
