- Resizing images in Rust now supports EXIF orientation, preventing incorrect image displays.
- EXIF orientation metadata describes how an image should be rotated or mirrored, with eight possible values.
- The Rust `image` crate's latest update (v0.25.8) includes functions to read and apply EXIF orientation before resizing.
- A comparison shows the old method produced upside-down thumbnails, while the new method correctly orients them.
- Handling EXIF orientation in `create_thumbnail` eliminates recurring issues in image-processing projects.
