Asp.net C# image editing (rotating with ImageMagick and writing to EXIF) application either works randomly or not at all
I'm building an Asp.net in C# image uploading/viewing/editing application to be used on an intranet. Images are uploaded and stored in a directory on a file server. The web application is working through IIS which is running on a computer (not a server) on our network. One of the aspx pages is an image gallery, where thumbnails are generated and the user can click a thumbnail to go to DisplayPhoto.aspx, where there is a larger image displayed. Also on this page the user can edit the photographer and description which is stored in a database, but I'm also trying to write that information to the EXIF header of the image. Futhermore, I have buttons to rotate the image left or right using an ImageMagick command. Sometimes the rotate buttons work and sometimes they don't. Sometimes, information is added to the EXIF header and sometimes it tells me the "process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." Both functionalities will work if the aspx page stays loaded in the browser for a while, like 15-20 minutes. I cannot figure out why. Can someone assist me with this issue? Thanks....
I tried using a PhotoHelper class but it's performing the same.

string uncPath = imgSrc.Replace("http://intranet/FieldPics/PicsN/", "//server/LV_N/FieldPics/");
string arg = @"convert """ + uncPath + @""" -rotate -90 """ + uncPath + @"""";
callImgMagick(arg);
displayImg(img.ImageUrl, 3000);
}
