ExifTool flips tiff image

Hi,

What am I doing wrong!?

I've been fiddling with the latest exifTool (10.2.6.0) for Windows. Now the exif data seems to be written correctly, however when writing a new Tiff file the tiff image gets mirrored when viewed in one application (flipped), and in Adobe Bridge the new tiff file gets rotated 90 degrees to the left.

The command(and many variations on it) I've been testing is:
exiftool.exe -tagsfromfile %d%f.CR2 -r -ext TIFF dir

I've found threads with discussions with the orientation tag, but never got that to work either...

(The original tiff was generated with dcraw , .cr2->.tiff )

Any pointers?!

My guess is that you are copying the Orientation tag.  Try this:

exiftool.exe -tagsfromfile %d%f.CR2 --orientation -r -ext TIFF dir

...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 ($).

Thanks Phil!

Seems to behave as expected now...
