My beer bottle fell over

[slowmotion]

I took a picture of a beer bottle in "Portrait" mode and posted it on the Beer? thread. The image appeared on its side. I deleted the image, went back to the original in My Pictures, rotated it a quarter turn, resaved it in My Pictures, and then reposted it on CC.
The beer bottle was still sleeping on its side.

Does anybody know why? Thank you.

Maybe it's to drunk to stay upright

Sorry it had to be said lol

Were you lying in a gutter at the time you took the photo?

But staring at the stars ...

No idea - I used to have this prob, but it somehow cured itself after a while.

I have found that you have to rotate the picture and save it, then open it again and rotate it back again, save it and post it - it will be the right way up. I have absolutely no idea how or why this works.

It might be simpler to just turn the monitor 90 degrees?

No good if you've got your phone / tablet set to auto-rotate.

Maybe it is an empty bottle? Upright bottles give you false hope.

Sounds like the EXIF orientation tag. Was it a JPEG file? (An old article but it's explained here: http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/exif-orientation.html)

Some devices and applications will visually rotate the image - so it looks to be the correct orientation, but don't change the EXIF orientation tag. If your computer or device isn't rotating it properly, give this online editor a try (and let me know if it works as I haven't had chance to test it): http://www181.lunapic.com/editor/

Cheers,

I'll give that a try when I have a mo. Thanks.

Not guilty. Notice the crown cap, virgo intacta. I was tempted to drink it on the tropical descent to our gite but held out until it had time to chill in the fridge.

@Shaun, yes it was a JPEG file. All the images that come from my camera are.

I hope after all this that it had proper cappage

What is this "cappage" of which you speak. I Googled it and got thrown back a lot of guff about cabbages. Honest.

It's @Marmion being a nobber. He's unaccountably got a thing against breweries who distribute bottles with plain caps.

What does he prefer? Those rubber stopper/wire clip jobbies? Goats' bladders in a tartan sock?
