[Richard Kaye]

Specifically I'm looking for a toolkit that will let me read the orientation tag from EXIF data. Suggestions?

TIA

Sounds like a fun adventure in low-level file functions! UMass CompSci 365
did it:

https://people.cs.umass.edu/~liberato/courses/2018-spring-compsci365+590f/lecture-notes/05-bit-twiddling-file-formats-parsing-exif/

The trivial conversion of Python to VFP is left as an exercise for the

(from the guy who reverse-engineered the Windows Cardfile format)
