Upside Down Photo Postings (but not from OZ)

[Nofear2trek]

I have noticed that thread posters are still posting photos that end up sideways or upside down after they click the submit button. I don't know if it is device specific, but this is what works to eliminate that problem for me and my iPad.

Before uploading a photo to any thread I first edit it on the iPad by doing a 90 degree rotation, save it that way, and then edit again with a 270 degree rotation (bringing it back to the original orientation) and save it again. Then it is ready to upload to any posting.

Sporadically I used to get those upside down pics on the forum threads, but never have again whenever I first rotated and saved the photos before uploading them. It works for me and my iPad.

Yeah. I posted about that an hour before. Blame the forum software, blame the phone, blame blame blame.

Internet driving school 101 sure has gotten skipped by a lot of people.

That said, it's not always easy to find stuff on my Android. Or someone else's iPhone. I hate these things. I long for the old days.

Sometimes you just gotta let go of the 60's...



I never want to go back to the days without smartphones, GPS, HDTV, or microwaves!

How to rotate, crop, and straighten in Photos for iPhone and iPad

With iPhone, be sure to take landscape photos with the volume buttons down. This works. Why the other way does not is a bug.

Same with my Samsung.

With my Android phone, if I take the pictures in landscape with the buttons down, the pictures are always oriented correctly...

I'm not smart enough to use a smart phone, even if I had one I wouldn't have a clue how to get pictures from it to the forum, so I just use a camera. So I have to wait till I get home and can connect it the computer and then some how (Magic I think) the photos get transferred to the 'puter. And then by more magic I am somehow able to get them posted on the forum. From one time till the next I can't remember how to do it ,so I just click this and that until it works. Here's one of my old slides from 1974, taken with a Kodak S20 126 Instamatic on Kodachrome
