 I agree .. up to a point.

 My DSLR (Minolta 7Hi) is pretty sophisticated, but doesn't have
 the mercury switch (?) that would let it record the EXIF orientation.

 So any changes I make have to be done after the photo was taken.

 Of the two approaches - modifying the image, without data loss,
 to the right orientation -- versus inserting an EXIF tag into the
 file for orientation -- I prefer the former.  Both require a single
 command to be run against the image file, but obviously one gives
 you more flexibility when using other 'brain dead' software -- say,
 something like <img src> tag for example.

 Jedd.
