A couple of my pics, which were the correct orientation on my camera/phone, ended up rotated after upload. I recall some talk on here a while ago of enabling a function to rotate pics in your gallery after upload, but I can't suss a way to do this. Is it possible?
This thread was started in the ROCKFAX forum and has now been moved.
Please could you try and post in the correct forum, it makes life easier for both users and moderators.
This is the place for all discussions relating to cameras and outdoor photography. Discuss the latest digital camera or have long discussions over the merits of one of the many thousands of photographs in the UKC Photo Galleries.

Before uploading check the orientation of your photo in its metadata. I suspect either UKC's display software is respecting this information and your isn't, or the other way around. There are various ways of viewing and editing this information, depending on your platform.
I've done some work on this before. There are a few cameras that "lie" in their exif data so it needs a bit of work to correctly orientate them. iPhones in portrait mode are particular bad for this.

Hi there sorry but I disagree - I thought that UKC/Rockfax was a more relevant thread category than photography.. this topic is purely about the UKC platform and how it is not user-friendly for upload of photos. It doesn't concern photography.

You submitted photos into the photo gallery and said photos were there wrong orientation and you want those photos flipping - and the post doesn't concern photography?
hi Chris actually no i don't think the post concerns photography, pedantic perhaps but the primary topic is the UKC platform. Similarly if i logged climbs on UKC and the platform incorrectly recorded that i had soloed them when i had entered that I had led them, then that would not be a post about climbing it would be about an error on UKC.
But anyway thanks for everyone's comments. I did suspect that it may concern the meta data on the phone camera.
I wondered if there was a way to rotate pictures after upload and now understand that no there isn't. I just wondered.. It would save time.
Thanks to Alan. If it is possible to rotate the pics they are -
Taken in 'portrait' orientation with a point & shoot camera that senses which way up it is and sets the exif data accordingly. The photo itself is fine, but the thumbnail is on its side. After submitting the photo I replaced it with another version that I'd rotated and cropped a little bit in Gimp, but it made no difference.
Must be cached, the thumbnail and photo are both fine for me.
Unlike the OP's, which are showing the wrong orientation even though I didn't view them before Alan's attempt to change them so they won't have been cached.
Odd. Using a different browser I can see that you're right, but with Firefox the thumbnail is still stubbornly on its side regardless of my attempts to clear the cache. I wonder if it's something else to do with the browser. (Firefox Quantum 63.0 running on (k)ubuntu in case anyone is interested.)
