Just as a check ofwhat I said these two photos were taken on my Android phone and appear the right way up on the phone and PC screens but when uploaded the first one taken with button on the right is OK but the second one with button on the left comes out upside down, Apart from taking the photos again or playing about with editing software not much else that can be done

I'm sure the new Mods Dave & Mike will be chomping at the bit for the chance to rotate their first photo

Already done one. Rest assured if I see any images the wrong way up I'll give them a spin. Terrible job being a moderator; I'm pretty sure Jason's example above is deliberately upside down! Better not ruin his day.

Otherwise anyone can force photos into a particular orientation by editing them at home before uploading. Most editors have a rotate function allowing humans to override the 3 or 4 different ways cameras feed orientation data to easily confused websites.

It makes no real difference all to do with what way up you are holding the device, 4 photos taken one after the other rotating phone 90deg between each, all look OK on phone and PC but not here, needs to be held Landscape with button on the right as per the first one, snipped image from my album of how they look.

the catch, explained many times, is that all you are doing is editing the metadata contained with the picture which describes how to display the image rather than the underlying basic image
