I uploaded an image which I can verify is already in the proper orientation.

It has the following characteristics:

* JPEG
* ~1.4MB
* 1536px wide by 2048px high

As you can see, it is a very tall and narrow image, but this was essentially taken directly from an iPhone 3GS in "portrait" mode or the usual mode one would hold the phone in when photographing.

The issue arrises whenever I upload this image to my pod; Diaspora shows the image as rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, which is both unexpected and undesirable behavior.

It was only when I manually resized the image in an image editor to be 600px wide by 800px high (arbitrarily smaller dimension I chose) that the uploaded image maintained proper orientation in Diaspora.
