Abstract
The present invention includes a method and system for processing images captured with an image-capturing device. According to the present invention, a method and system includes reconfiguring a display of an image based on the orientation of the image-capturing device when the image is captured. Through the use of the method and system in accordance with the present invention, a user can view captured images without having to account for a rotation of the image-capturing device. The method and system includes capturing the image with an image-capturing device, determining an orientation of the image-capturing device and reconfiguring a display of the image based on the orientation of the image-capturing device.
