Lossless rotation is supported libjpeg  release 7 (2005), but most
Linux systems I have check come with version 6.
http://jpegclub.org/jpegtran/

Using GIL
original size: 4106172 image/jpeg 3264 2448
rotated size: 5594681 image/jpeg 2448 3264

Using jpegtran -rot 90 -perfect
4106172 image/jpeg 3264 2448
4073598 image/jpeg 2448 3264

Note that jpegtran also removes exif tags, but if not the size would
be the sime (as I understand lossless transform).

The current GIL already has a quality parameter (third param of
jpeg_write_view) but for the above GIL experiment I assumed
default quality=100 so that no loss was introduced by change in quality.

Another option is to keep the original photo as it is and rotate
before resampling (but I couldn't compile it).
What type magic am I missing ?

TYPE myview = boost::gil::rotated90cw_view(boost::gil::view(img);
 boost::gil::resample_pixels(myview, boost::gil::view(fin), mat,
bg::bilinear_sampler());
 boost::gil::jpeg_write_view(file_out, boost::gil::const_view(fin), quality);

thanks
