Teddy R Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) I take my pictures in portrait. When I download in choose files, they are in portrait. When I post, they are in landscape and I can't figure out how to turn them??? What am I doing wrong? Nobody wants to see a sideways coin. Thanks for any help Edited September 17, 2023 by Teddy R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 How are you shooting them? With an iPhone? If so, you can EDIT the photo, then select CROP then at the top left ROTATE Teddy R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) That would happen to me too with pics that were somewhat square, so now I post the obv and rev spliced together with Paint like the attached which won't rotate. I know it's not really an answer, just my work around. Edited September 17, 2023 by EagleRJO RonnieR131 and Teddy R 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I would think somewhere in your phone settings or in your camera app settings you can find a setting to turn rotation off. I do not know, however, how that affects when you do want to take a landscape photo (I am thinking it will still have the portrait style just with big black sides to it having rotation fully turned off). The only other thing I could say here is when I take any of my coin photos, I always go into the photo editor and do any rotations, cropping, and adjustments in the editor and then save the photo without keeping the original. rrantique and Teddy R 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the op is referring to how it appears on his phone or the camera app setting. The rotation would happen to some pics I had which I didn't take or view on my phone, which I think has something to do with how the forum handles attachment pics. I wasn't able to find any related forum settings. Also, I think the portrait/landscape description by the op is simply their way of describing that the forum occasionally rotates a pic 90 or 180 degrees when it is posted. I have seen numerous posts where it looks like this rotation has occurred when someone uploaded and posted a pic.

Portrait is tall or the correct way you would display a pic of a slab. Landscape is wide or rotating the slab 90 degrees. This is what I get.

ldhair Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Try it the other way. Just play with it. Teddy R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Okay, so you are experiencing something different as rectangular pics like of a coin slab always post in the correct orientation for me if that is the way it appears on my screen. Like when I take the slab you posted sideways, rotate it 90 degrees on my phone or computer, save it, and then post it that pic shows up in the correct vertical/portrait orientation like attached. You might try rotating the pic to the correct vertical orientation and then saving that with a different filename and see if that helps. The issue I encounter sometimes, and what I was referencing above, is when mostly square pics are rotated 90 or 180 degrees when they are posted, even when saved with a different filename in the proper orientation.

I noticed the size of the OP's pic is larger than the one you posted @EagleRJO. Maybe the size has something to do with it. Teddy R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I routinely resize pics to take up less space in posts and on my computer, unless a higher resolution is really needed.

Teddy R Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 I downloaded the pic from @EagleRJO's post. It is oriented properly in my downloads but when I post it, it is rotated 90 degrees the other way. Thanks to all for the help. I'll play around and see what I come up with and try a smaller file like @powermad5000 suggested. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
