jpegtran: Transverse the image across the upper right to lower left axis.
$ jpegtran -transverse ${path-to-image-jpg} > ${path-to-output-jpg}
try on your machine

This command is using "jpegtran", which is a utility program for manipulating JPEG files.

The specific command being executed is:

jpegtran -transverse ${path-to-image-jpg} > ${path-to-output-jpg}

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • jpegtran is the name of the program being run.
  • -transverse is an option or flag that is passed to jpegtran. In this case, it is specified to perform a transverse operation on the image.
  • ${path-to-image-jpg} is a placeholder for the path to the input JPEG image file. You need to replace this with the actual path to the image file you want to process.
  • > is the output redirection operator, which is used to redirect the output from the command to a file instead of printing it to the terminal.
  • ${path-to-output-jpg} is a placeholder for the path where you want to save the output JPEG file. You need to replace this with the desired path and filename for the output file.

In summary, this command takes an input JPEG image, performs a transverse operation on it using jpegtran, and then saves the modified image as a new JPEG file at the specified output path.
