Image Rotation Is Complicated
My pal Glenn Fleishman bit off more than he was expecting when a Macworld reader asked why some photos weren’t correctly oriented after importing them into his photo software. It turns out that rotating image files is a lot more complicated—and interesting—than you’d expect! Read about it here: How to solve incorrect photo rotation after sync ...
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro Color Gamut
I was working late one night a few weeks ago and saw a tweet by Craig Hockenberry that immediately piqued my interest. The new iPad Pro 9.7-inch model had just been announced, with an intriguing new True Tone display feature that adjusts the screen’s color temperature based on the ambient light in the room. And ...
