Description J Appel 2012-01-02 16:25:25 UTC
Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

When tilted images are watermarked, the watermark moves to the wrong corner. Rotating the images beforehand according to the Exif-Information does not solve the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. take 2 pictures, one with a horizontal the other one witha vertical camera position
2. Try to watermark them (mark the images, press 'b', select the watermark-tool, set positioning to the lower right.
3. Start the process

Actual Results:  
The horizontal image will have the watermark in the lower right corner, the vertical image has the watermark placed according to it s rotation, but not in the lower right.

Expected Results:  
Both images should have the watermark in the lower right corner.

When the tool 'rotate according to exif information' is applied along with other modifiers (color and white balance correction), the rotation tool appears to only be removing the exif information and not rotating the images according to the exif-information. (this is probably worth a seperate bug report)

Applying the rotation filter alone (after a color correction has been applied), the images appear to be rotated correctly, applying the watermark then works as expected.
