wernerweiss Posted November 14, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2022 Hello at all, I just uploaded the latest pictures of my model of the Confederacy, but before submission I had to see that some of them appeared turned upside down - example see below -, and I absolutely don´t have any idea why. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance Greetings Werner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsdpic Posted November 14, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 14, 2022 It may depend on how you are holding your phone when taking the picture, assuming it is a phone pic. It will automatically include rotation data in the picture which in this case is wrong. It would be helpful to know what you are using to take the pictures and what you are using to create the post (windows pc? mac? creating it right on your phone?) See the pinned "uploading pictures" thread in the "How to use the MSW forum" category, particularly posts 15 and 16, especially if using a windows pc to create the post.

Dave_E Posted November 14, 2022 Share #3 Posted November 14, 2022 It was absolutely the orientation of you picture taking device. I’ve use my iPhone and iPad… never had an upside down issue. 👍😀 mtaylor and Obormotov 2 Quote Dave Current builds: Rattlesnake Completed builds: Lady Nelson On the shelf: NRG Half Hull Project, Various metal, plastic and paper models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert952 Posted November 15, 2022 Share #5 Posted November 15, 2022 I have had this happen when using my cell phone in the middle of a series and I did not change the camera orientation. I chock it up to a mystery of the universe. (A couple of times I cannot categorically state I did not rotate the camera on some series. So, user error is always a potential possibility.) If you download pics to your PC and they are upside down, there's an easy fix. From the file manager, put your cursor on the photo to be rotated. Right click. There's two command choices in the drop down menu: Rotate Left and Rotate Right. Click either one of them twice to rotate the photo 180 degrees. Saves loading up a photo editor just to rotate the pics. mtaylor and Obormotov 2 Quote ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert Chenoweth Current Build: Maine Peapod; Midwest Models; 1/14 scale.

wernerweiss Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Hello Robert, thank you very much! Fact is that however I hold the smartphone, all pictures in the smartphone file and later on my laptop - via e-mail - have the normal orientation, and rotating them left or right is intentionally. The problem came with the upload to the forum, when to my surprise some pictures appeared upside down. What I tried was to rotate these pictures before uploading hoping they would then appear normal, but that was not helpful.... What I must say is that in another forum the upload of these pictures is not at all a problem....

mtaylor Posted November 16, 2022 Share #7 Posted November 16, 2022 Do you have a Windows PC by perchance? If so, download the photos to that and then use Paint (part of the Windows OS) to rotate, crop, etc. There might be something similar to Paint in the Apple world but I don't have any knowledge of those machines.

Hello Mark, thank you very much for your comment......meanwhile I could fix the problem. Yesterday I found a post in this forum (see below); I rotated the pictures four times as described there and it worked! robert952 and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dziadeczek Posted November 18, 2022 Share #9 Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) If you use Windows 10, it has a free, already factory preloaded program, (Microsoft Office Picture Manager), where you can click on "Picture" and than select "Rotate and Flip", and finally "Save".
