Exif Data Not Utilized Consistently

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JustinSy

I'm using the "Add Picture" control to upload images to Azure Blob Storage with "ApplyEXIFOrientation" set to true.  Images are uploaded via device Camera or Camera Roll.

 

When I use "AzureBlobStorage.GetFileContent" to display an uploaded image, the orientation is different depending on how the app is accessed.

 

  1. Web App - EXIF orientation respected
  2. Iphone App - EXIF orientation not respected
  3. PowerApp in Windows Desktop App - EXIF orientation not respected
  4. Images uploaded to Collection within app - EXIF orientation respected

 

Additionally, using the file URL, browsers respect EXIF orientation differently:

 

  1. Microsoft Edge (using file URL) - EXIF orientation not respected
  2. Chrome & Safari (using file URL)- EXIF orientation respected

Consistent utilization of EXIF orientation is critical to the user experience.  Especially in field apps.

    Hi @JustinSy,

    Could you please share a bit more about your issue?
    Could you please share a screenshot about your issue?

    Further, how do you display the image file within your app? Using Image control?

    Please take a try to set the ApplyEXIFOrientation property of the Image control to false, and set the CalculateOriginalDimensions property to true, then try your image again, check if the issue is solved.

    In addition, you could also consider take a try to set the ImagePosition property of the Image control to following:

    ImagePosition.Center

    then check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris
