Summary

Expo camera offers the option to add additional Exif to a photo. Expo-image-manipulator offers the functionality to scale, rotate and much more with the same photo. However if you add Exif to a photo you expect it to still be there after you manipulate the image and update the props that have changed with the manipulation (like width and height).

// exif after taking a photo:
