Posting pix the right way up??

Post by DCatSea »

Although I'm fairly literate and just a bit techy I am unable to consistently post pictures on AOG the right way up. 50% are OK,, but the others seem to have a mind of their own regarding orientation. Any suggestions for remedying this situation would be welcome.

Thanks

I have a similar problem when I take pictures with my phone. The sensor that senses "this side up" isn't always correct.

If they come out wrong side up in my phone, I rotate them until right side up. If I prefer "landscape" instead of "portrait", I just stop there.

If they are right in the phone and wrong when posted to AOG, I use the "Preview" to see how they will come out prior to posting. If they are wrong side up, I "pre-rotate" them to compensate, attach to post and preview again.

No idea why this happens though. I blame my experiences on operator error.

I just tell everybody to click on the picture. Usually it rights itself when enlarged.

Thanks. I'll try both. Interestingly they are right way up on my iPhone but bass-ackwards on my PC - must be an Apple thing.

Save picture to your PC and then rotate picture and save. Right click on picture to get to rotate option.
