Are you using Image>Rotate Canvas?
If you do that, it should work 100%, no questions asked.
If that doesn’t work, something is wrong.
Are you opening these from a READ ONLY location? If the files are marked READ ONLY you will not be able to save over themselves with the same name. However, I’ve never come across this, and I would think Adobe would warn you on opening/saving a READ-ONLY file.
I am having the same problem using PS CS.
I am using Image->Roate Canvas (CW 90 degrees)
It doesn’t work. I have tried both saving the image and SaveAs.
I have also checked the permissions for both the folder they are in and the files themselves. Very strange.
Any suggestions?

More information–
Launch in Windows Fax and Picture Fax viewer–image is correct. Open in Internet Explorer or Mozilla–image is correct.
Open in PS, image is the old way (without the rotation). Restart PS and open image–image is the old way (without the rotation). Launch in Windows Fax and Picture Fax viewer–image is correct. Open in Internet Explorer or Mozilla–image is correct.

I also tried removing Thumbs.db no joy.
NOW roate and save with a new name, and all is well. Is there some other preview cache that I’m not aware of?
Both images report width of 2000 and height of 3008 which means the image should have been converted.
I’m really confused by this.

Is anyone else experiencing this. I am still having this same problem where after I rotate and save a photo – it is no longer rotated when I reopen the photo. It is very frustrating.
Until Adobe officially acknowledges that PS 8 (CS) is behaving differently from previous versions with regard to the handling of the EXIF orientation tag (and provides a fix in the form of an option to disregard the tag or properly rewrite the tag after rotate-and-save), I suggest the following for users of Canon and other digital cameras that have built-in orientation sensors:
At the suggestion of another poster here, I checked out a couple of recent Canon point-and shoot digicams and found that one can indeed turn off the orientation-tag-writing feature via the user setup menu. Doing so should enable you to work around the problem.
Unfortunately, I’m still at PS 7 and cannot confirm whether this works. It’d be great if those contributors here who are experiencing this problem could try this workaround and let us know.
