That's a bit of a pain in the Glutemus Maximus,but the fact the your photo hosting site doesn't figure out what is the top of the photo is a bigger pain. All photos are taken on an iPad or IPhone. The other two sites I post on support this,so photos are the right way up. The pain part is if I view the photo before resizing and posting,it shows the right way up. Only when posted on here will I actually see how your hosting site rotates it :(

All mine are taken on an iPhone 7, then I down load them to my desktop running Windows 7 and resize, annotate, crop etc using Paint which is part of Win 7. It's got to the stage now that it's practically an automatic process !

Yeah, the phone bit isn't the issue. I lost the will to live with Windows,with their constant upgrades that do naught for you,and the constant viruses and malware that was a never ending battle. Moved over to an iPad, do exactly the same as before,and touchwood ,haven't had a single issue in four years..., So no longer do anything on a Pc if it's connected to the Internet. It's not insurmountable,just need to find an iPad friendly solution :thumbup:

Anyway, there must be plenty of resizing apps in the apple store.

Post by: Johnny Bravo on November 25, 2018, 02:28:20 PM: Pete, the resizing is easy to sort. I just email the photos back to myself. It gives you an option there :)

Its the orientation that's a .....
Just wonder how the couple of other forums I post on, have sussed it!
