Look at the -auto-orient operator

The tag is   "EXIF:Orientation"


When I try Orientation I get "8" returned, there
are two tags though, and I
can't get the 2nd one to show up.

It is just a number...

These are the only ones I worryed about before the
-auto-orient operator
was provided.

    1  #normal
    6  rotated left  (clockwise rotate to fix  -rotate 90)
    8  rotated right (anti-clockwaise rotate to fix  -rotate
-90)
