Hi to all

I've a load of great pics to share but when I upload them here they are all over the place, upside down and horizontal. They all look right-way-up on my computer. Previously I've taken the pics onto Corel draw and made new files but it is laborious and I don't have to time to muck around. Would love to share but it's too much of a hassle with pics all over the place when they upload.

Using a great camera - Cannon 6D with some awesome lenses.... so what's the deal?

Appreciate your input...

Cheers, Andy

Hi mate, I really want to see your pics so here's what I do. I put all new pics in sorted folders and create a resize sub folder in readiness. ThenI open up the photos by clicking on one of them which opens in my set default program, that being, Windows Live Photo Gallery. I then select Edit,organise and do all my straightening and resizing and saving into my resize folders, too easy.

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Wal

I upload to quite a few places and this site is the only one that does this so while I'm trying to work out what's going on here I'm also wondering whether this place has a different configuration....

Facebook and Drive upload the images just fine....

Andy, a basic and simple solution would be to put the pics onto your desktop and they will load the way they are appear on desktop.

Hope this can help.

Pete :)

Some of my photos appear in windows explorer as horizontal and I adjust them accordingly, no problem there. So I can see where some images need a tweak, but it seems a different rule book when I upload here.

Hi Pedro

Appreciate the feedback mate. I knew I'd take wads of pics so I set the camera to the smallest size - around 300 Kb... don't think it's file size.

Hi Andy, its very strange that the pics come in sideways if they are on your desktop horizontal, try putting them onto desktop on their side?

They are on my desktop vertically but end up horizontal here. All landscape shots are fine. It does happen on one other site I should add... adds to the confusion as some sites recognise the correct angle and others don't.

Turning them sideways on my desktop seems like a pain and don't really want to micro manage every shot... I have LOTS of pics!

Off to bed now, wave a magic wand over this as I'd love to chuck a heap of pics in here!!

This probably happens because:

- Your camera has a sensor that detects if the camera is portrait or landscape mode. The image file is flagged accordingly.

- Your picture viewer in your computer detects the orientation in the image and rotates the image properly, so you see it correctly in your computer.

- The forum image upload does not detect the image orientation, so the picture appears sideways.

Try to open the image in your computer using Windows Paint (right-click on the image, Open With > Paint). If the image appears sideways there, this is probably what's going on.

You may need to manually rotate the image using a different image viewer before uploading it to the forum.

I hope this helps.

Every camera and every editing software handle photo information differently. And then every website software (like this one) read and display it differently. For example, my iPhone does the same thing with this software, but not with some others. It is a known bug for this software, but for your situation - Canon and Corel Draw - it may be different.

I have found what I have to do is too load my photos into my iPhoto program and then upload from there. Uploading from the phone doesn't work.

Sorry I can't be of more help other than to say that the next upgrade to the forum software is supposed to recognize more photo info correctly.

Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum.

Yes this happens all the time when uploading to Palmtalk from my phone, directly, but this is happening with my new computer. very annoying... When is the next upgrade going to be done for Palmtalk? Maybe I will just wait till then...
