Comment:

 We can rotate the uploaded image before saving it (when exif rotation is
 set) then create thumbnail and other sizes. However that will modify the
 original image, remove exif data, etc.

 Perhaps the better option is to rotate only the sub-sized images while
 creating them and leave the original intact. It's also possible to rotate
 the original with JS when displaying it.
