Picture Orientation.


Recommended Posts

In my last few posts, most of the pictures appear "sideways". It doesn't happen elsewhere. I've tried turning before loading to no effect. Perhaps coincidence, but  a few weeks ago, I had difficulties uploading certain pictures. Nothing in my hard or software has changed. Any ideas apart from looking "askance".

Not really. All the answers you need for making sure orientation is correct, is already posted in here.

Hi Stugio...

 

You could try looking here: 

 

 

I've put a video on there that describes (and shows) why these things often happen. If you use Windows, then you can get round the issue using the free application I've programmed. If you're using Mac or a phone, then you'll need to find something that does the same thing: it hard-codes the orientation of the photo instead of using a "meta-tag" hidden inside the image file, which your gallery app on your phone will read, but the web browser on your phone won't. It's frustrating, but it can be worked around. 

 

Simply turning the photos on your phone updates the meta-data, but doesn't rewrite the photo (for good reason! it takes a lot less processing power), but that doesn't fix it for your internet browser, as you've discovered.

 

If any of what I've said doesn't make sense, do ask. I'll do my best to explain more clearly.
