Preview Rotating and Cropping Upon Export or Print

There are multiple questions about a bug in Preview rotating some images when we try to export or print it. Since they're all outdated like this one (Disabling EXIF rotation in finder & previ… - Apple Community) and none of the ideas worked for me I thought I should submit a workaround that does.

Right before printing rotate the image yourself (25 degrees either direction). You'll immediately see it switch in the Print dialogue back to landscape orientation.

Strange preview cropping issue I've recently been having a strange issue when using the crop tool in preview. No matter where I crop the image it will display a crop of the same size but always lined up to the bottom left corner of the image. The problem is only with how the image is displayed immediately after the crop because the image will be correct when printing or saving.

Preview not combining images into PDF Preview used to brilliant. Like any Apple apps. (cough, cough). I used to be able to open several jpegs in separate windows, then drag the thumbnails into a new files and save it as a pdf. Now. I ha e no idea what is happening. Preview opens them all in one document, I save it as a pPDF, sometimes all the images are there, sometimes on pone, sometime keeping Landscape as opposed to Portrait.... And then, when I attempt to print, the images no longer fill the page, what ever orientation they are in. To add insult to injury, when I go to print, it never finds the default printer, I have to select it. I cannot save a preset, and I have to set everything every single time. I eventually, printed each jpg off separately, going through that process. And to top it off, unlike on any of my other 5 Macs, the mouse doesn't click properly. To highlight the text in a folder, I have to slowly click, then wait a second before it highlights, if I do it normally, the file will open.. Grrrrr. Let's focus on Preview. Any ideas
