How to rotate pictures?

You should rotate before posting them.  Are you posting from your computer of from smart phone ?  Either way, there should be an edit function that allows you to rotate the picture.

Smart phones are the big offenders, I use IrfanView to rotate them on my computer.  Truthfully, for my phone pictures, I just rotate them in the application each time as the direction tags don't seem to always mean the same thing to phones.

For a PC, you can try the standard Windows Photo Viewer(little curved arrows immediately to the left of the red "x" for file deletion).   Make a copy first if it looks right on your screen, but gets rotated when you post it - so you aren't modifying your original and then wonder why it's sideways on your PC after you post .

I've had a few times when the Forum Software rotated a pic or 2 I posted as well.  Never did figure out a hard reason why based on characteristics of the specific ones that had the problem.

+1 for Irfanview.  The IT guys at work get irritated every time I get a new laptop because they know I’m going to ask them to install it for me. 

Yep you got it John. How? 

I now see how to do it on my phone. I'll get it right next time. Until then I'm sure everyone will figure them out to look at.

Thanks

The problem with doing it on the phone is the reason they're screwed up in the first place is the wonky handling of the orientation flags by the phone!

Send the pics to me, I'll fix em for ya

Just post them in this thread here

Is it possible for you to go look under my profile and see the ad I put out for the 736 passenger set? Maybe you can rotate them there for me. I really appreciate it thank you

Picture orientation on my droid phones has been a non-issue. (15mpx and full manual ops. too)

  Plenty of other G-issues to keep me busy swearing though.

Windows and cameras were another story on orientation, but I lost all confidence in MS anyhow with W10 burning up power supplies at first launch.(it never actually shut down power, just regulation and notification/lights.... unexcusable after about dozen in my care for updating toasted in a week or so.. maybe in another decade I'll give Bill's minions another shot )
