taking pictures vertically should be banned

Very annoying. Noobs think it makes them cool but I detest it.

I use ACDSee 3.1 (before the bloatware) to view the pics (taking over for XP Picture and Fax viewer default)... and it doesn't auto-rotate. You're saying the newer versions do this ?

Why would you use Photoshop to rotate them? You have to resave them in a lossy format.

Rotating pictures is the last thing I care about.
1) EXIF data should be standard on matter what kind of camera. I hate this BS that it is different from every camera.
2) Widescreen monitors suck. Most my pictures are vertical. I don't need even more space to be wasted on a black screen.

And a lot less quality.

What??

Windows is not going to cause any quality drop just by rotating a picture. I use this feature and it is really helpful and fast.

He probably means this.

Edit: That picture is 320x240.

Wow, I've never gotten that. I guess I take it back.
