Hey guys :)

i have some sony arw files different orientations. first i want to set all orientations to ""exiftool","-orientation=Horizontal (normal)", " if its not the case.
i use a phyton script for that that works fine. (if i use lightroom the orientation is fine, also with windows viewer)

after that i want ufraw to batch process them to .jpg but the problem is, if i do that the .jpgs got the original orientation?!
so is there more to remove were does ufraw get that information from?
(or is it even possible to batch process with ufraw and do that all in once?)

thanks a lot!

What Sony camera model is this?  Sony cameras store 2 or 3 Orientation tags, plus sometimes a CameraOrientation and a Rotation tag.  Use this command to see them all:

exiftool -a -G1 -orientation -cameraorientation -rotation FILE

You my try changing all of them to Horizontal.
