Hi folks,
I just added a post and attached photos as a new member. My photos are coming up sideways and upside-down. posted them from my iPhone. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Greg

Let's get you started.. as you want your introduction to be fun with pics..

Try to use landscape or sideways picture taking..

Or.. use edit in photos for upside and sideways when you see your phone took them wrong

Or.. the quick if everything looks right on your phone but isn't..

The cheat is either screen shot it again or resize slightly and save..

Then attach your new photo from the library in your phone..
One at a time unless you re edit and add

I don't think I understand. I went back to my post and I can no longer edit. The edit button disappeared.
The photos look fine on my IPhone. Not sure what screen shooting will do. You want me to screen shot the screen on my phone or screen shot the computer screen?

Edit is short lived.. if they look right either resize slightly in edit mode and save..

Or screen shot it with home and off button pushed simultaneously.

The moderators will chime in or pm you so no worries..

Thx for the help. I guess I'll post pics from my PC from now on. Posting from my iPhone or Apple desktop gives poor results.

Cmattj’s advice will work. The problem is that your phone is embedding orientation data into the image rather than actually rotating the image, so it doesn’t display right on some systems. If you take a picture of the picture (a screen capture), edit slightly and Dave, etc., your phone will usually reorient the picture properly when saving.

Years ago I just got in the habit of taking every picture with my phone holding it in landscape position. I don't use Facebook or anything like that just a couple of forums and they are both like that. So problem solved without the headache.

John did the multi picture and edit bug fix happen yet?
