Having just processed a massive set of images and needing to rotate
several of them, I noticed a small issue with the way the WordPress image
editor's rotation icons work. They're generally much better than the
standard rotation arrows you'd normally see, providing a visual of an
image being rotated one way or another from portrait to landscape. But if
you're looking at a landscape image that needs to rotate one way or the
other, it's somewhat disorienting trying to decide which button to push,
since you're essentially rotating it one more time past the orientation
indicated in the icon. By contextually adjusting these icons to reflect
the orientation of the image in the editor, we could eliminate an extra
cognitive step during the image editing process (see proposed
screenshots).
Probably the easiest way to go about fixing this would be to add a class
for the image's orientation somewhere in a container div, then add some
css to rotate these buttons when the image is already landscape, so that
they indicate that clicking would make them rotate into portrait
orientation.
