How do you rotate photos???

When I post some pictures, they seem to rotate. They are fine in my files, but when I post them on GB, they turn right or left. I tried rotating them in my files, and that doesn't help. Oakie

    I suspicionize those are phone photos, right? If so, I haven't a clue how to fix 'em. Ones I post from a real 'pooter don't do that.

    Woulda if I coulda, though. Just didn't want you to think you were ignored.

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    I can't directly answer the question. However, most sideways pictures are from using the C&P method of posting.

    I have yet to have a picture rotate on me when using the, 'upload image' method.

    Cell phone photos are too difficult to figure out. I don't know why they come through like they do. When you preview the post they look fine.....BOOM....on their side....every time.

    Lube them and they rotate much better.

    Oakie, I too have had that problem several times. Problem pictures came from my daughter by way of her smart phone via E-mail. I saved pictures from her E-mail to my pictures. i spent two hours on this one night. I rotated picture in my picture file hoping to out smart GB's software and that did not work. As I recall, I down loaded the picture again in my picture file and it came out as thumbnail and the next one as thumbnail (1). I have no idea how that worked but it did. Just dumb luck I guess. Maybe this means something to Rocky. He is the Resident Expert. Good luck. ---------------------------Ray
