14 rotate a image on you DigiCam) to rotate the picture to correct
16 o For each image, a page provides all information available on the
17 picture and the DigiCam settings when the photo was taken.

19 preventing they disappear when the image is modified
20 * customizable charset encoding for HTML generation, including UTF-8
