Photo orientation

[User169]

Apologies if this has been done before, but iF upload a photo from my phone, only photos with thr phone held in one specific orientation upload correctly. Any other orientation and they come out on their side or upside- down. Any suggestions?

Hold your phone the right way up Or, edit and rotate the image on your phone then upload

As above, the forum software cannot edit, so it all needs to be done prior to the posting.

If you need advice on how to do this, which system are you using and what software you have

Download "Snapseed" and it will do all the editing you want.


Alternatively download the Photobucket app and upload the pictures to Photobuket. Then edit in Photobucket and link to here

Occasionally I edit a photo, orientate it to portrait , upload it, and it still uploads as landscape.

Essentially yes! Whatever I do "in-phone" makes no difference.

I use Irfanview for doing simple photo-cropping, rotation etc. I noticed the other day that there is a checkbox on the Save As dialog to Reset EXIF rotation tag, which I imagine is to control this very thing!

I'll try it when I get back from the shops with emergency chocolate supplies ...

I upload photos from phone to dropbox and resize, crop, edit with photoeditor from there. Some portrait pics upload to here ok, some don't.
There seems no rhyme or reason to when it works ok or not.

Ha ha - well, that didn't make any difference and both rotations worked since the picture started off the right way up!

I love it when a plan comes together...

Strange. The recent update to the forum software has image rotation built-in so that images uploaded from phones appear the correct way up. I wonder if @Shaun knows why it's not working here?

It's an Apple 'Feature'

Are you on Windows?

Press Shift+Alt then an arrow, this will rotate the screen so the photograph is the right way up

Of course there is then the problem of the writing now being the wrong way up!
