Jhead to rescue

JHead to the rescue

Never needed to quickly rotate photos? Of course you did. Yesterday, I had to rotate a few dozen photos, there came JHead to the rescue.

$ jhead -autorot *.JPG

JHead uses the 'Orientation' tag of the Exif header to rotate the image so that it is upright. Easy enough, right?
