POSTING PICTURES NOW ENABLED

[Dewey Cox]

Now, I'm not one to complain about the state of picture posting on this fine forum, but since it's being looked at (thanks for that) can we figure out why a phone picture often gets rotated when it's posted?
I have discovered that if I take the picture horizontal, it appears the way I intended, but if I take it vertical it gets rotated 90 degrees. And if I crop it at all in any way, it will appear in the same orientation I photographed it.
I dont even mind it, I just wonder why it happens.

Seems to be working just fine.

I know that you guys like potato's.

Here is a snap from my summer vacation. A large pile of potato in MB.

I drove a spud truck for a few years.............looks like there is a lot more required to fill that shed !!

I hauled potatoes from Winkler Mb into Wisconsin in a grain trailer. That was a learning experience.

Does not happen for me, maybe you are holding your tongue out on the wrong side as you post!

It's probably in the EXIF Data. Some programs obey the EXIF "Orientation" value, and others do not. On average, newer software tends to obey, and older software tends not to.

There are EXIF editors.

I don't think Orientation shows up in the file metadata in Windows Explorer Properties Details, although other EXIF data does.
