Research direction
The issue requests replacing a hard coded 90 degree rotation with ImageMagick's auto orient feature. Review the current image processing code, likely in Python using PIL or subprocess calls. Check if ImageMagick is already a dependency. Look for the rotation logic (possibly in a function handling image orientation). Test with various sample images to verify auto orient works correctly. The repository description mentions tesseract OCR, so ensure the change does not break OCR preprocessing.
