Hi jdd

Try this:

Test, test, and retest in a test directory on a small sample of images
before using on your main photo directory, to make sure you have all
the syntax correct and it's doing exactly what you want. I've made
syntax errors with exiftool that scattered files all over the place.

To be doubly safe, make a backup of your main image folders before
using exiftool to change the orientation tag.
