Pictures never the right way up

[Rigsby]

Can somebody help me with posting pictures, I know how to post them but they are always rotated differently and I can't get them the right way up, what's the trick please, thanks

Sometimes you just have to "outsmart" the system. Even if the pics you are uploading are "oriented" properly when you view them on your machine, you just have to open the file, rotate it the corresponding amount to correct for the forum's issues and save it on your machine that way. So if you uploaded it and it is rotated 90 degrees left, then open, edit and save the file 90 deg rotated to the right on your machine then upload it.... I know, that sounds wacky and is a PITA but there aren't any "built in" tools on the forums' uploader to do it....

Kinda makes ya feel like this sometimesBouncyball.gif

The problems arise when the pictures are taken with the phone. Some folks here can fix it for you I don't know how but you have to test the position they will appear on the thread then delete it and rotate it and reload it. Whenever I upload and they are sideways etc They are pictures that I have taken on my phone. I have an android don't know about the apple....

Most likely you are taking them with an I phone or Pad. If you do not hold the camera correctly the pictures will be sideways or upside down in a windows product.

We need more information. Are you trying to upload them from your computer, from a camera, from a smart phone - what?

I am taking pictures with an iPhone and then uploading via Windows and the pictures are 90 degrees out. Thanks for the replays so far, seems like it's an Apple / Windows thing and not me cracking up after all

Just tried uploading the same picture with my iPad and it worked first time

No, it's not you. It happens to everyone who tries to upload directly from their phone. Glad it's working from your tablet. What I have had to do is download the pic to my Windows computer and then make a small edit of almost any kind (contrast, crop, etc). Then upload from my computer. Bit of a PITA but not too bad. I'll try my tablet next time.

Thanks for all the replies, seems easier to just do it from the Ipad

I have that if you go into file where you have the pictures stored and resize them, just a little, then they stay right side up.
