Image upload Sideways

When someone has uploaded an image it has uploaded sideways. I have tried one image and its been OK. However one other I tried later flipped upside down. On clicking the image it is the correct way up. Upload to the media gallery is OK.

Hello @andrewrisbey

Thumbnails are placed automatically by your browser based on the meta-data of your images. This cannot get influenced by me. The reason your photo would appear this way is because the photo was taken vertically and the image file itself is in this orientation.

For example, if you hold the phone upright and take a photo, so the photo is vertical or portrait, then the actual image file is technically horizontal, as all photos are “sideways”, (think of a 4×6 photo coming out of the printer), you would need to turn the photo right side up to view it vertically. This is the same with a digital photo. When you view on a computer, or upload, you may see the image sideways. If so, then would then need to rotate the image using your photo viewing or editing software.

After the image is rotated, then you can upload it and it will appear correctly. This may vary based on your computer software, browser and/or camera.
