Incorrect Orientation Of Photos Uploaded Inwards Post Service Editor

We come across occasional reports of problems amongst photograph orientation, from diverse weblog owners posting inwards Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken.

Why are my photos displayed horizontal, when they should travel vertical?

Presumably, if someone's photograph was taken amongst her standing, the weblog possessor does non desire the photograph showing her lying on her side.

Modern cameras shop meta information amongst each photo, recording information close how the photograph was taken.

This information is called "Exchangeable Image File format", or EXIF, data. Along amongst the information close appointment / fourth dimension / exposure ("aperture" / "F stop" / "shutter speed"), about cameras shop whether the photograph was taken, amongst the photographic television set camera held horizontal or vertical.

Some cameras shop the "horizontal" / "vertical" information - then, the Blogger post service editor "Upload image" magician picks upward on the orientation, in addition to re orients the photo, depending upon it having been taken "horizontal" or "vertical". If the photograph was intentionally rotated, the weblog possessor does non desire the photograph rotated again.

There are several possible resolutions for this problem.

• Use a dissimilar camera. Some cameras produce non contribute to this problem.
• Per the comment below, come across if the photographic television set camera has a setting to disable autorotation.
• Use a photograph editor such every bit IrfanView, in addition to strip out the EXIF data, earlier uploading. Without the EXIF data, the "Add image" magician won't reorient the photos.
