Pixel bake treats tag 8 as a plain transpose · case 05

Images tagged 8 come out mirrored after baking even though their dimensions look right.

Case contract

Bake an EXIF-style orientation tag (1..8) into a row-major pixel grid so the result displays upright. Tags 2/4 mirror horizontally/vertically, 3 rotates 180, 6 rotates 90 clockwise, 8 rotates 90 counter-clockwise, 5 transposes and 7 transverses; tags outside 1..8 are treated as 1. Tags 5..8 swap the output width and height.

Why this case matters

Camera, phone and scanner images carry an orientation hint separately from the stored pixels; galleries, thumbnailers, editors and upload pipelines must interpret it consistently or photos appear sideways, mirrored or doubly rotated.

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
