Remove portrait images

This little script removes images which appear to be in the portrait format (tweak it for your own needs).

#!/bin/bash
 
orientation=`exiftool -orientation "$1"`
 
echo "$1" has $orientation;
 
if ! [[ $orientation =  "Horizontal" ]]
then
    echo "so removed";
    rm "$1";
fi

You can run it recursively with:

find directory/ -name "*.JPG" -exec ./rm-portrait {} \;
