How to resolve image rotated when loading image / after saving image in iOS device?
In iOS, Image is always saving in landscape (90 degree rotation) after edit the image in image editor even if image loads in portrait. The reason for this issue was portrait images which always stored with a metadata of angle 90 irrespective of the orientation as like below screenshot.
To avoid this issue, you have to change the orientation of the image before loading into image editor. Please refer the below steps for better understanding.
Step 1: Create SfImageEditor sample with all necessary assemblies.
Please refer the below link to create a simple SfImageEditor sample along with the ways to configure it.

Step 2: To change the orientation of image, you have to implement change orientation method in app delegate class in iOS Platform.
Step 3: In AppDelegate , you have to implement change orientation method as like below code snippet.
Stream ChangeOrientation(UIImage rotatedImage)
{
float width = rotatedImage.CGImage.Width;
float height = rotatedImage.CGImage.Height;
CGImage imgRef = rotatedImage.CGImage;
CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeIdentity();
CGRect bounds = new CGRect(0, 0, width, height);
float scaleRatio = (float)(bounds.Size.Width / width);
CGSize imageSize = new CGSize(imgRef.Width, imgRef.Height);
UIImageOrientation orient = rotatedImage.Orientation;
switch (orient)
{
case UIImageOrientation.Right:
bounds.Size = new CGSize(bounds.Size.Height, bounds.Size.Width);
transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeTranslation(imageSize.Height, 0.0f);
transform = CGAffineTransform.Rotate(transform, (System.nfloat)(Math.PI / 2.0));
break;
case UIImageOrientation.Up: //EXIF = 1
transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeIdentity();
break;
case UIImageOrientation.UpMirrored: //EXIF = 2
transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeTranslation(imageSize.Width, 0.0f);
transform = CGAffineTransform.Scale(transform, -1.0f, 1.0f);
break;
case UIImageOrientation.Down: //EXIF = 3
transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeTranslation(imageSize.Width, imageSize.Height);
transform = CGAffineTransform.Rotate(transform, (System.nfloat)Math.PI);
break;
case UIImageOrientation.DownMirrored: //EXIF = 4
transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeTranslation(0.0f, imageSize.Height);
transform = CGAffineTransform.Scale(transform, 1.0f, -1.0f);
break;
case UIImageOrientation.LeftMirrored: //EXIF = 5
bounds.Size = new CGSize(bounds.Size.Height, bounds.Size.Width);
transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeTranslation(imageSize.Height, imageSize.Width);
transform = CGAffineTransform.Scale(transform, -1.0f, 1.0f);
transform = CGAffineTransform.Rotate(transform, (System.nfloat)(3.0 * Math.PI / 2.0));
break;
case UIImageOrientation.Left: //EXIF = 6
bounds.Size = new CGSize(bounds.Size.Height, bounds.Size.Width);
transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeTranslation(0.0f, imageSize.Width);
transform = CGAffineTransform.Rotate(transform, (System.nfloat)(3.0 * Math.PI / 2.0));
break;
case UIImageOrientation.RightMirrored: //EXIF = 7
bounds.Size = new CGSize(bounds.Size.Height, bounds.Size.Width);
transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeScale(-1.0f, 1.0f);
transform = CGAffineTransform.Rotate(transform, (System.nfloat)(Math.PI / 2.0));
break;
}
UIGraphics.BeginImageContext(bounds.Size);
CGContext context = UIGraphics.GetCurrentContext();
if (orient == UIImageOrientation.Right || orient == UIImageOrientation.Left)
{
context.ScaleCTM(-scaleRatio, scaleRatio);
context.TranslateCTM(-height, 0);
}
else
{
context.ScaleCTM(scaleRatio, -scaleRatio);
context.TranslateCTM(0, -height);
}
context.ConcatCTM(transform);
context.DrawImage(new CGRect(0, 0, width, height), imgRef);
UIImage imageCopy = UIGraphics.GetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphics.EndImageContext();
var str = imageCopy.AsPNG().AsStream();
return str;
}
Step 4: You must call the change orientation method before image loads into image editor. In change orientation method, you have to pass UIImage as argument which is get from camera or gallery.
To call the change orientation method as like below code snippet.
var stream = ChangeOrientation(e.OriginalImage);
