Virtual Rotation / Visual Proxy

[banzai]

Hi there,

- I have a version stack with a .NEF file (master) and a .JPG file (version, used as visual proxy)

- The NEF file (which is rather old from my D70) is somehow rotated wrong (don't think it's an IMatch problem, when I look at the WIC log, it comes in wrong format from .NEF codec. Tried to fix it with changing the orientation exif metadata, but that didn't really work. Funny is that values like "rotate 180°" showed the expected result, but "rotate 90°" or "rotate 270°" had no effect at all. Anyway, that's not the problem I wanted to ask about).

- I used virtual rotate on the master to fix this.

- During raw processing, I also rotated the image, so that the resulting JPG file has the correct orientation.

- But when I now look at the master in either QuickView or in Viewer with activated VisualProxy, the image is rotated too much. It seems that the virtual rotation of the master is applied to the virtual proxy image, which is already fine.

- The thumbnails look OK, in the file view (where also the visual proxy is used) this problem does not happen.

- Is this done intentionally? Should I counter-rotate my JPG file? But this would seem strange to me...

Ciao,     banzai

Interesting combination of effects. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I have fixed this issue for IMatch 2023.
