Portrait Displays Landscape
Suddenly all the photos (JPEGs) I imported today are displaying landscape, even the ones that should be portrait. I know they are portrait because if I open them in another app, they display portrait. Any idea how to fix this? Rebuild doesn't help.
The funny thing is, I can fix the display of these by using the JPEG Rotate action. You would think that this would rotate the original file, turning the portrait image into upside down landscape, but when I open the rotated file in another app, they are still portrait, just like they were originally. So it rotated for Media Pro but didn't rotate it for other apps. How can this be? Is there some setting I accidentally made in my camera that causes Media Pro to act like this?

Workflow: I copied 600 JPEG photos from my digital camera to a folder, covered by an existing MP catalog. Then I updated that folder in MP. The photos are either 6000x4000 (which I'm calling landscape) or 4000x6000 (which I'm calling portrait), depending on how I rotated the camera when I took the picture. However, MP treats them all as 6000x4000, so the portrait images are displaying sideways, as if MP doesn't recognize that my camera was rotated 90 degrees. This is in both the thumbnail view and the full image view.
If I open those photos in any other application, e.g., Photoshop or Preview, the portrait photos display properly, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with my camera.
This has never happened before in 10's of thousands of photos I've added to my catalog taken by the same camera.
If I use JPEG rotate to rotate the portrait photos 90 degrees, then they display OK in MP, and strangely, this does not affect how they are displayed in other applications. The rotation only seems to affect MP's view of the photos, so I don't even understand what's happening.0
