Description Michael 2023-08-15 05:36:14 UTC 
SUMMARY

Imported HEIC images are not rotated according to EXIF data.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. imported HEIC image in portrait mode (from iPhone 13)
2. shotwell shows image in wrong rotation

EXIF-Metadata is processed correctly, says orientation = right/top

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.27

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was impressed HEIC import worked at all without searching for HEIF libraries :-)

digiKam definitely shows the image rotated based on the metadata (if option enabled in the metadata settings). And what do we have to do with shotwell? Please provide a HEIF image of the IPhone 13.

Note this Bug 461205, digiKam requires at least libheif-1.14. If it is not available in your distribution, use our AppImage.

Correction >= libheif-1.13 is required.

Which libheif version is used, look in the Help menu under component information.
