Trouble with orientation, TIFF and -tagsfromfile

[ivoyger]

Hi !

I've got some trouble with -tagsfromfile command, TIFF file and orientation.

I work on my Raw file in Aperture (.NEF file from Nikon), then I export them in .TIFF files. I need to update the Exif about .TIFF files from the originals files to get back all the lens information and to be able to applying lens corrections on DxO Optics Pro.

So with help, I've made an AppleScript and I use this command to update the Exif :"exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile src.NEF dst.TIFF"

And it works perfectly ... but only on landscape orientation file !

With portrait orientation file, after the update, the orientation change in landscape and DxO can't apply the lens corrections.

I don't understand why -tagsfromfile change the orientation of the picture ?

Your command will copy the EXIF Orientation tag.  Try this:

exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile src.NEF --orientation dst.TIFF

to avoid copying the Orientation tag, since it seems your TIFF image has already been rotated.
