In Aperture 3.5.1, some images export with the wrong orientation even though they display correctly inside Aperture. This seems to happen to many files when exporting masters. What causes this, and is there a way to prevent the exported photos from being rotated incorrectly?

Figured it out: apparently exporting with the ITPC information included causes many photos to be rotated.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
A likely cause is including IPTC metadata during export. Based on the community report, exporting masters with IPTC information enabled can cause some photos to come out with incorrect orientation. To prevent this, try exporting without IPTC metadata included.
In general, orientation issues often come from metadata handling rather than the image pixels themselves, so changing the export metadata options is a sensible fix.
