Background: what to know before you rely on it

Many cameras record the orientation of a photo in the file metadata instead of rotating the pixels. Some programs respect that tag and others ignore it, which is why the same photo can look different in different apps. Rotating the pixels directly and saving a new file removes the confusion. A mirror flip changes how a picture reads, so avoid it on photos with text, logos or maps unless you want a mirrored effect.
