As Brion writes, [Allowing uploaders to] preview & fix the rotation *during* the upload process will be a big help. There should be a bugzilla entry ready for comments somewhere. Since I couldn't find one, this one is open.
I personally feel rotation shouldn't really happen during the image rendering process. Instead when uploading there should be a warning, saying image looks rotated, do you want to fix, with a preview of before and after the rotation, and forcing user to chose which one. If the user chooses the rotated version, we should physically rotate the image (And remove orientation), otherwise we should just leave the image as is.
(Also, it should be noted there is some discussion of this around bug 6672 comment 36 )
There appears to be a pretty fantastic user interface for this already implemented as a gadget for the RotateBot: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:RotateLink With a proper backend API, it doesn't seem like it'd be too difficult to plug this in in some way.
Filed bug 33186 as the API counterpart to this bug

Please check the bug 6672.Which is similar to this Either both are same and this has to be marked as resolved Or else can you tell me whats the difference betwwen these bugs @Rob Lanphier:could you provide some information regarding API for rotating the image.Is it done or not. Thanks
