It sounds like you're describing what is commonly known as "godbeams". John Woods has several very good Photoshop tutorials online - most can be easily adapted to The Gimp. Check out this link and look for the godbeams tutorial: http://graphicssoft.about.com/library/uc/ucjwoods3.htm - Timoth

As mentioned, the exif header info in the jpg is telling kuickshow how to rotate the image. After editing in Gimp, you can use "jpegtran" to change the exif info (to not rotate). jpegtran -rotate 90 file.jpg > newfile.jpg this is a lossless conversion, only effecting the exif header. - Timot
