A couple of photos in my collection contain a wrong "orientation#" tag value.
When I open ExifTool GUI and list the EXIF values then there is a value of
"Rotate 90 CW"
instead of "normal/No rotate" (Whats the corresponding value ?).
How can I change the value? The context menu does not show such an entry like "no rotation" or similar.
Thx
Peter
Hi Peter,
I can't help with the GUI, but the possible Orientation values are here (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/EXIF.html):
1 = Horizontal (normal)
2 = Mirror horizontal
3 = Rotate 180
4 = Mirror vertical
5 = Mirror horizontal and rotate 270 CW
6 = Rotate 90 CW
7 = Mirror horizontal and rotate 90 CW
8 = Rotate 270 CW

Ok, thank you.
How can I set a new value to a picture mypic123.jpg by command line?
In other words: Whats is the cmd syntax?
Hi Peter,
Something like exiftool -orientation#=1 mypic123.jpg should likely do the trick.
Ok, thank you.
But how can I tell ExifToolGUI to show the real, original, embedded values and not their interpretation?
I guess inside a *.jpg only the values 1,2,3,4,.... are stored.
But ExifToolsGUI show already the smart interpretation e.g. "Rotate 90 CW".
You may find it easier to use v4.27 of GUI available here:
https://exiftool.org/gui/exiftoolgui427.zip
Use the ^ symbol below Exif and then select Image properties where you will find an Orientation changer.
Hope this helps.
Great! It works with v4.27, thank you!
Why does this feature not exist in v5.15 resp. what is the recommended way in this v5.15?
