Rust's `image` Crate Now Handles EXIF Orientation in Image Resizing
2025-09-13

The Rust image processing crate, `image`, has released version v0.25.8, adding support for EXIF orientation data. This fixes a common issue where resizing images would ignore the orientation, resulting in rotated or flipped thumbnails. The new `apply_orientation` function corrects the image orientation before resizing, ensuring the thumbnail matches the original. This is particularly helpful when working with images from cameras and phones, eliminating the hassle of misaligned images.
