This is a strange one. From my Sony DSC-HX5V, I imported into iPhoto a few dozen photos. Some were portrait, most were landscape. The slideshow was just fine. All rendered correctly. I then used Photo Studio 6.0, which came with the late 2010 MacBook Pro, to crop and/or otherwise edit them. The portrait ones showed up as requiring rotation, which, like an idiot, I did. I did a "Save As", extending the filename to include some descriptive information on those I wanted to keep. I then copied all the new photos to a new folder which I imported into iPhoto, and copied to a jump drive.
The slide show displayed all the rotated photos incorrectly. Finder/Preview displayed the rotated photos incorrectly.
However, inserting the jump drive into a PC running Windows 7, they rendered just fine, as if my rotation had never happened.
Putting the jump drive back into the MBP, they are indeed bad. What is going on here?
It gets worse: running Windows 7 via VirtualBox, the jump drive pictures are fine, but Finder shows wrong. Obviously PhotoStudio 6. (2008?) is messing up the meta-data in the jpg file, right? I will attach one that is wrong, unless it is too big. This appears fine on a PC, but not via Lion. Yet, it is OK here. I am flummoxed!
