I'm getting inconsistent results depending on whether I get the image directly from the camera in the callback or choosing it from the camera roll.

In the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate callback method, the UIImage.imageOrientation comes up as UIImageOrientationRight no matter how the photo is taken.

When reading it off the Camera Roll, a landscape shot (turned left) comes up UIImageOrientationUp while a portrait shot comes up UIImageOrientationRight.

How can I reliably get the camera orientation in both situations?
