iOS UIImagePickerController result image orientation after upload

Question

I am testing my iPhone application on an iOS 3 1 3 iPhone   I am selecting capturing an image using a UIImagePickerController   UIImagePickerController  imagePicker     UIImagePickerController alloc  init    imagePicker setSourceType UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera    imagePicker setDelegate self    self navigationController presentModalViewController imagePicker animated YES    imagePicker release      -  void imagePickerController  UIImagePickerController   picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo  NSDictionary   info       self image    info objectForKey UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage       imageView image   self image       self navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated YES       submitButton enabled   YES      I then at some point send it to my web server using the ASI classes   ASIFormDataRequest  request    ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL  NSURL URLWithString   http   example com myscript php      request setDelegate self    request setStringEncoding NSUTF8StringEncoding    request setShouldContinueWhenAppEntersBackground YES     other post keys values  request setFile UIImageJPEGRepresentation self image  100 0f  withFileName  NSString stringWithFormat    d jpg     NSDate date  timeIntervalSinceNow   andContentType   image jpg  forKey   imageFile     request startAsynchronous     the problem  when i take a picture with the iphone while holding it landscape  the image gets uploaded to the server and it viewed like you would expect   when taking a picture holding the phone in portrait  the image is uploaded and viewed as it had been rotated 90 degrees   my application is set to only work in portrait modes upsidedown and regular    How can i make the image always show the correct orientation after uploading   the image appears to be correct as displayed in an UIImageView directly after taking the picture   but viewing on the server says otherwise

If you enable editing  then the edited image  as opposed to the original  will be oriented as expected   UIImagePickerController  imagePickerController     UIImagePickerController alloc  init   imagePickerController allowsEditing   YES     set delegate and present controller  -  void imagePickerController  UIImagePickerController   picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo  NSDictionary   info       UIImage  photo    info valueForKey UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage          do whatever     Enabling editing allows the user to resize and move the image before tapping  Use Photo

I have experienced this issue with images taken from camera or saved in camera roll which are taken from camera  Images downloaded in photo library from safari browser does not rotate when uploaded   I was able to solve this issue by making the image data as JPEG before uploading   let image   info UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage  as  UIImage         let data   UIImageJPEGRepresentation image  1 0    We can now use the data for uploading and the image will not get rotated after upload   Hope this will work

Here   s a solution that doesn   t change the colorspace of the original image  If you want to normalize the orientation of a grayscale image  you are out of luck with all solutions based on UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions because it creates a context in the RGB colorspace  Instead  you have to create a context with the same properties as the original image and draw   extension UIImage       static let rotatedOrentations   UIImage Orientation      left   leftMirrored   right   rightMirrored       func normalizedImage   - gt  UIImage           if imageOrientation     up               return self                    let image   self cgImage          let swapOrientation   UIImage rotatedOrentations contains imageOrientation          let width   swapOrientation   image height   image width         let height   swapOrientation   image width   image height         let context   CGContext data  nil  width  width  height  height  bitsPerComponent  image bitsPerComponent  bytesPerRow  image bytesPerRow  space  image colorSpace   bitmapInfo  image bitmapInfo rawValue           let flipVertical   CGAffineTransform a  1  b  0  c  0  d  -1  tx  0  ty  CGFloat height            context concatenate flipVertical          UIGraphicsPushContext context          self draw at   zero          UIGraphicsPopContext            return UIImage cgImage  context makeImage

I used this page when designing my app that takes pictures and I found that the following method will correct the orientation and use less memory and processor than previous answers   CGImageRef cgRef   image CGImage  image     UIImage alloc  initWithCGImage cgRef scale 1 0 orientation UIImageOrientationUp     This basically just rewraps the actual image data with a new orientation  I was using  an0 s code but it makes a new image in memory which can be taxing on a 3264x2448 image that you might get from a camera

A UIImage has a property imageOrientation  which instructs the UIImageView and other UIImage consumers to rotate the raw image data  There s a good chance that this flag is being saved to the exif data in the uploaded jpeg image  but the program you use to view it is not honoring that flag   To rotate the UIImage to display properly when uploaded  you can use a category like this   UIImage fixOrientation h   interface UIImage  fixOrientation   -  UIImage   fixOrientation    end   UIImage fixOrientation m   implementation UIImage  fixOrientation   -  UIImage   fixOrientation           No-op if the orientation is already correct     if  self imageOrientation    UIImageOrientationUp  return self          We need to calculate the proper transformation to make the image upright         We do it in 2 steps  Rotate if Left Right Down  and then flip if Mirrored      CGAffineTransform transform   CGAffineTransformIdentity       switch  self imageOrientation            case UIImageOrientationDown          case UIImageOrientationDownMirrored              transform   CGAffineTransformTranslate transform  self size width  self size height               transform   CGAffineTransformRotate transform  M PI               break           case UIImageOrientationLeft          case UIImageOrientationLeftMirrored              transform   CGAffineTransformTranslate transform  self size width  0               transform   CGAffineTransformRotate transform  M PI 2               break           case UIImageOrientationRight          case UIImageOrientationRightMirrored              transform   CGAffineTransformTranslate transform  0  self size height               transform   CGAffineTransformRotate transform  -M PI 2               break          case UIImageOrientationUp          case UIImageOrientationUpMirrored              break             switch  self imageOrientation            case UIImageOrientationUpMirrored          case UIImageOrientationDownMirrored              transform   CGAffineTransformTranslate transform  self size width  0               transform   CGAffineTransformScale transform  -1  1               break           case UIImageOrientationLeftMirrored          case UIImageOrientationRightMirrored              transform   CGAffineTransformTranslate transform  self size height  0               transform   CGAffineTransformScale transform  -1  1               break          case UIImageOrientationUp          case UIImageOrientationDown          case UIImageOrientationLeft          case UIImageOrientationRight              break                Now we draw the underlying CGImage into a new context  applying the transform        calculated above      CGContextRef ctx   CGBitmapContextCreate NULL  self size width  self size height                                               CGImageGetBitsPerComponent self CGImage   0                                               CGImageGetColorSpace self CGImage                                                CGImageGetBitmapInfo self CGImage        CGContextConcatCTM ctx  transform       switch  self imageOrientation            case UIImageOrientationLeft          case UIImageOrientationLeftMirrored          case UIImageOrientationRight          case UIImageOrientationRightMirrored                 Grr                CGContextDrawImage ctx  CGRectMake 0 0 self size height self size width   self CGImage               break           default              CGContextDrawImage ctx  CGRectMake 0 0 self size width self size height   self CGImage               break                And now we just create a new UIImage from the drawing context     CGImageRef cgimg   CGBitmapContextCreateImage ctx       UIImage  img    UIImage imageWithCGImage cgimg       CGContextRelease ctx       CGImageRelease cgimg       return img      end

I figured out a much simpler one   -  UIImage   normalizedImage       if  self imageOrientation    UIImageOrientationUp  return self        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions self size  NO  self scale        self drawInRect  CGRect  0  0  self size        UIImage  normalizedImage   UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext        UIGraphicsEndImageContext        return normalizedImage      BTW   Anomie s code does not take scale into account  so will not work for 2x images

If I understand  what you want to do is disregard the orientation of the UIImage  If so then you could do this -    image is your original image image    UIImage imageWithCGImage  image CGImage                               scale  image scale                         orientation  UIImageOrientationUp     or in Swift  -  image   UIImage CGImage  image CGImage   scale  image scale  orientation  Up    It solved my cropping issue   Hope  this is what you re looking for
