Fix image orientations:
# http://stackoverflow.com/a/9130900/922323
# jhead is lossless:
$ brew install jhead
# The following works best as a method:
$ shopt -u | grep -q nullglob && changed=true && shopt -s nullglob \
$ jhead -autorot -q -se ${args.inputFile} 2> /dev/null \
$ [ $changed ] && shopt -u nullglob; unset changed
