But.. I dont want my surfers to see these pictures lying down.. and I have like 50.000 of them.. mixed in with correct landscape ones.. so I am not going to manually rotate them

(photoshop bridge shows all pictures correctly when browsing them as thumbs)

What can I do?
The pic file itself holds the orientation info and programs like PS or ACDSee read that part of those files. Rather than trying to explain this, I will put it to you this way:

Stop opening the raw photos in your browser. You're not going to load them to your server like that anyway so who cares how your browser handles them?

Edit your pics, watermark them, etc, and when you save them, they will be in the right direction assuming you used a program that reads the full EXIF info.
