hey! I actually got this working by baking the rotation into the file
before quartz with jhead so quartz sees it right.
One thing is I *am* trying to use the image dimension patch to test for
orientation to switch out my overlays... but haven't gotten it to work
yet. I'm using Image Dimention into a Conditional Patch, then using the
output as an index to a Multiplexer with 2 different source images.
If there's a better way to do it, let me know! :)

yeah! that makes sense! I was kind of thinking something similar that
the jpeg orientation was being ignored.
and I may have found a solution!!
there's a command called jhead which can bake the orientation flag
into
the actual jpeg (for any vertical jpegs, it does a lossless
rotation of
the jpeg and bakes the orientation into the file).
/jhead -autorot *.jpg
/for a whole folder or
/jhead -autorot <filename>/
for a single file.
I figure if I put this in automator ahead of the quartz call it
will fix
things.
so... any advice on getting this inside automator? :)
(heh.. yeah I posted to the automator and applescript lists already...
waiting to see if anyone's up to help with an answer)
man. thanks again. I'm so grateful for all your guy's help. can't
believe I almost have it all working.

most patches won’t allow you to create input or output ports
because the ‘function’ of the patch is predetermined and immutable.
that’s not to say all ports must be wired to other patches but at
least one output patch will always have to be connected to a chain
of patches that ends at an input port to a patch in the category
of patches called Renderer. (blue coloured patches)
there are some excepts to this though. like the math expression
patch it will make inputs for whatever variable you name in the
function. You got to the “Settings” inspector to change the
formula. also the Math patch. You can add or subtract inputs in
the Settings inspector. It starts with 2 inputs.
