Description Jan Kundrát 2012-09-30 09:46:10 UTC 
When I import RAW images from Canon 450D, they are all shown in landscape. When I do the same for images from Canon 500D or 60D, the landscape orientation is recognized. I'm using libkdcraw from KPhotoAlbum.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Jan Kundrát 2012-09-30 10:05:28 UTC 
A sample image is available from http://jkt.flaska.net/IMG_5764.CR2. I'm testing with the git HEAD of libkdcraw, which is v4.9.1-18-g4849126 at this point.

Not reproducible here under digiKam. It's not a libkdcraw problem. sound like a KphotoAlbum dysfunction.

Right, this is a bug in my own code which I've shamelessly stolen from Digikam back in 2007. Reclassifying, sorry for noise.
Comment 4 Jan Kundrát 2012-10-01 00:45:17 UTC 
It looks like the RawImageDecoder returns already rotated image iff the result has been obtained by doing the actual RAW decoding (there's a quick fallback to the embedded JPEG preview if it is big enough -- which is the case for 500D and 60D, but not for 450D).

A proper fix would be (IMHO) to:

- remove ImageDecoder altogether, there's only ever been a RawImageDecoder
- make it return the actual orientation of the returned data
- take this data into account when calculating the desired rotation (remember, users are free to rotate inside KPA as well)

I'll have a look at this later.
