school me on rotating pictures

flembo · Oct 14, 2018

I posted several pictures above (sunday afternoon ride) but I had several others that I liked and wanted to post but when I did they were sideways (ccw). My wife took all the pictures with her cell phone but the pictures that she takes with the phone vertical all do that when I try to post them. I even tried rotating them cw and they still came up ccw. I have always refused to post sideways pictures but it frustrates me that I can't figure it out. Here are 2 of the pictures windows 10 btw. how can I rotate them?

If she edits them on her phone, it will likely rotate them.
There are several options to rotated them in Windows 10 also.
Native apps and aftermarket.
I use a free program called PhotoScape to rotate, crop, brighten
resize and draw on images. I use it on Windows 10 currently.
A quick Google search will find it for you if you want to use it.

Mostly all the photos I post anymore are taken with my LG smart phone.
What I have learned is if I take a photo with the phone held sideways it will show up sideways here on the forums.
If I hold it upright it will show the right way.
Sometimes I want to hold my phone sideways to get a wider angle.
So I went to the google app store and downloaded an app called photobaku.
There's a gazillion photo apps there. Some you have to pay for, which I won't, but many are free. Many are way too complicated for me. Like, I don't need one that I can draw makeup on a picture of my face to see how this lipstick or that eye shadow looks on me. Yikes.
After downloading, trying then deleting several apps I found photobaku whis has about 3 functions one of which is rotating photos 90?so I can post them here.
Good luck.

Just tried photoscape, going to give it a try. I have been using picasa for years but it is going away, been looking for something to replace it.

Aww, come on Dawg. We'd get a kick out of those lipstick pics!

I use the native photo editor on my iPhone if needed but I still
use my PC for uploading photos 99.9% of the time.

Interesting that the iPhone is basically the opposite of the LG.
If I hold it sideways, camera to the left, they are right side up.
Vertical, camera up, they are rotated 90 degrees.
Sideways, camera to the right, rotated 180 degrees, sideways,
camera to the right, 270 degrees.

Also interesting, if you view those posted pics on the OS they
came from, they look correct. Almost all pics appear correctly
orientated on an iPhone or a MAC OS laptop.

It's free, so you get what you pay for sometimes.
It nags me to update once a week. I haven't updated in a long time.
I too had Picasa when they also did free web hosting.
Think I may still have a few out there.

When I open them in my pictures album they are correct it's only when I try to post that the turn.

Edit them first. Doesn't mater much what you do, resize, adjust
the brightness, whatever, than save and try posting after editing.

The full story but more than most people want to know ;-)

Image Orientation Tag

I can't help with the smart phone/dumb operator issue, but if you can post your photos from a 'puter, look into a downloadable program called "irfanview".

It lets you edit and save (and then post) photos, and offers an option called "reset EXIF data".

Which means the photo will appear here in the same orientation as you were viewing it on your 'puter.

NO more confusion or drama!

I still use my Nikon cool pix 4500 to take most of my photos then upload to PC and post from there. no rotation problems.

One more reason to use a real camera, the original photos look pretty good until you try to zoom in on them and they blur out. They are meant to be viewed on a phone, not a computer

I can't speak for camera phones, I have one and can take photos but have no way to upload to my PC. Did not get nor can find any software to do so. I use my old digital camera. I then upload from my camera to my camera software library. From there I can select a picture and save it to my PC either on the desktop or in a folder. Once there I can open a picture, then select the arrow left or arrow right button on the bottom to rotate the photo if it was taken vertically or sideways. I then use a photo hosting site like photobucket or imgur to upload the selected pictures to. From there I simply select it, then copy the url LINK to paste in my post. I copied your picture to my desktop, opened it to rotate, then uploaded to my photo hosting site. here it is:
