Resolution

To work around this behavior in Image Preview, use one of the following methods:
  • Rotate the picture in the opposite direction the same number of times that you originally rotated the picture. For example, if you rotated the picture clockwise once, rotate it counter-clockwise once.

    -or-
  • Keep rotating the picture in the same direction until the picture returns to the original orientation.
