QuickBase really needs to build EXIF image orientation awareness into its image handling...

Here is a screenshot of a non-theoretical, practical and working demo:



With script I alter QuickBase's file attachment control to only browse for images:

<input type="file" size="40" name="_fid_8" id="_fid_8" accept="image/*">

When an image is selected, it is previewed to the spot on the form indicated by "Image" and displayed in a <canvas> item indicated by the spot on the form indicated by "Processed". Once the <canvas> loads I automatically flip and rotate the <canvas> and initiate the download of the processed image. Unfortunately I can't upload the processed image at this time because of my file storage quota.

However, to save the processed image all you have to do is call canvas.toBlob() and submit the blob using FormData API.

While the image is in the <canvas> it is possible to resize it, add a watermark or any other processing you desire. You can also extract any EXIF data from the image and slot it into extra fields on the form.

BTW, the girl in the photo is named Zoe and she is famous:
