image not rotating when i use :angle => :exif

[chopperop]

images that are taken sideways from a cameraphone are not being rotated automatically when i use :angle => :exif.

i use rails and this is the code i have put into my view.

<%= cl_image_tag(content.image_url.to_s, :html_width => 500, :html_height => 150, :crop => :fill, :angle => :exif) if content.image? %>

Thank you for reporting this issue.
Are you applying any incoming transforming while uploading the images to Cloudinary? The 'exif' data might have been removed while applying the transformation. In this case adding :flags => :keep_iptc to the parameters of the upload call might solve this issue.

i'm actually having trouble applying any other transformations other than setting the width and height. i can't rotate them 90, apply effect or rounded corners.

edit, even applying changes to the height doesn't work. only the width works.

Can you please share the relevant upload and transformation code? It will help us better understand the problem and assist with this issue.

Having the exact same problem. Tag like:
<%= cl_image_tag(@location.image, :rotate => 90) %>

Generates url:
http://a1.res.cloudinary.com/jimmy-tidey/image/upload/v1361905097/g1mngusur8bcckpdhdsm.jpg

Ie. URL is not cusomised

Width and height work because there are specified as attribute of HTML image tag...

Please use the following syntax for rotating an image by 90 degrees is
<%= cl_image_tag(@location.image, :angle => 90) %>

Apologies - so much hacking about was making to lots of mistakes. If I use:
<%= cl_image_tag(@location.image, :angle => 90) %>

I get URL
http://a1.res.cloudinary.com/jimmy-tidey/image/upload/v1361905097/g1mngusur8bcckpdhdsm.jpg

This applies for all effects that I have tried.

[TalLevAmi]

You can use the following syntax:
<%= cl_image_tag(@location.image.full_public_id, :angle => 90) %>
We'll look into making this work directly with the image.

[TalLevAmi]

Actually, you need to be a little more careful. If you want to support format, use:
<%= cl_image_tag(@location.image.full_public_id, :angle => 90, :format=>"png") %>
otherwise use:
<%= cl_image_tag(@location.image.filename, :angle => 90) %>
