I got a bunch of photos (JPGs)in a folder from my daughter. If I use Windows XP Explorer to view them (using Thumbnail or Filmstrip view) many of them are rotated 90 degrees CW. This is not unusual – she’s probably taken Portrait shots.
However, the strange thing is that when I open them in a Graphics package (such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or Picassa) they are magically rotated to the correct orientation!!!
What on earth…?

Aha! It’s the EXIF data produced by the camera that’s rotating them
