Magento and exif photo automatic rotation. How to prevent or fix?

Question

i'm on Magento CE 1.9 and i have some problems with image uploading. I discovered that the problem is with the exif. That tag isnt work good. On my shared server i cant install php plugins etc.. do you know some kind of plugin or code to fix that? I can fix it with php only but i cant figure out how to integrate it into Magento. Really i think it's may be an really common problem. So if you help me you will help others... if you can, Thanks.

You will have to create a module to remove the exif tags from the photos you want to upload. An easier way is to remove them before uploading the photos to magento with any free software.
