CarlB Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 When I try to upload pictures they come into the post upside down. I tried turning the pictures upside down in my file and then uploading, but that didn't work. Is there a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anker Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 From an iPhone? I have had this problem many times with iPhone photos. I find that I have to load them into a photo editing app on the PC, and export it to get it righted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 That's the normal fix, but it didn't work for me using the Windows native photo tool. I then tried it using Paint and it seems to work fine (Murphy's Law says it will be upside down when I click Submit Reply) -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just noticed that you wrote you tried turning it upside down, then saving. The correct fix is to rotate it 1 or 2 full rotations and save it. The issue is you took the photo with your phone upside down and the forum software is having trouble applying the correction using the embedded meta data. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Thank you _ will try turning it over a few times. Topical that I can't figure out up or down with my phone. Thank you for the help and putting this forum together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 It's a very common problem. When taking a landscape photo with the rear-facing lens, you want the bottom of the phone rotated to your right, not your left. See this old article for a more thorough explanation. I'll add this information to the FAQ when I have time. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/why-does-my-iphone-take-upside-down-photos/ Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 The FAQ in the Help Guides section has been update with an explanation of the upside down photo issue, two options to fix it, and how to identify if your phone is in its natural "right-side up" orientation before you take a picture. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
