Image orientation

[CrackPot]

I posted on the classifieds an ad with 3 images. Two were landscape orientation and the third portrait. The application rotated the portrait image and made it landscape. All three are now landscape which of course means the one that was portrait is 90degrees off. I could find no way to stop it from doing this when I uploaded images.

The third image above is clearly portrait as that is how it was both taken and verified in preview, its thumbnail on my computer, etc. When it gets updated through the "upload a file" mechanism, it gets rotated.

Were they taken on an iPhone?

The forum reads the EXIF data embedded into the file and decides how to rotate it from there... some phones have issues having this properly and/or don't update it if you change it on the phone itself after the fact.

If you use something like this : EXIF Data Viewer to check the original files, you'll presumably see a different value for the rotation on the three pictures.

Yes they were taken on the iphone. Going into any tool that allows you to rotate and rotating left (or right) and back again results in correct orientation. I have never had this problem before with iphone pictures on other SW. Interesting...

I have the same problem with iPhone pictures. Poking around online it sounds like the Apple OS does (or did) some funky stuff with the exif data.

Try uploading the original (or another) if you can - I made a couple of changes that worked to fix it for others.

Original uploaded again


Success. Thanks for the quick turn around and fix

Awesome. Apparently the EXIF data was getting stripped during the hand-off from the upload process to the image handler and back.
