All the currently used diffraction image processing programs can tell the crystal orientation from a single diffraction image.
Some programs like d*TREK can calculate new orientations for the crystal if the crystal is mounted on a reasonable goniometer such as the Rigaku Kappa goniostat or the Rigaku quarter-chi goniostat. :) And the strategy program in d*TREK can use a list of previously collected and/or processed Bragg reflections to make sure that the new strategy fills in the missing parts of reciprocal space.
