Here's how they come through in my email, Photoshop and CorelDraw.... Each program is reading the orientation a little different. So it's going to come down to being able to rotate and save the photos in a new orientation. Or can you run some test with the camera and see if holding it at different angles changes the way the camera saves the photo? Just thinking out loud now... :thinking:
This photo posted correctly on an earlier post. Now it posts 90 degrees rotated.
Test
Okay great. So help me think this through.... the photo kept the orientation of each photo. This is good. So if you turn your iPad to take a photo it's going to turn the photo. Now when you look at those photo on the iPad do they turn to auto adjust to fit the screen or move at all? Are or they always exactly how you took them?
The same photos came through in the email exactly how you posted them here. Nothing has moved.
The iPad took all four of the photos right side up regardless of the orientation of the iPad, but when posted to here, only the second photo ended up right side up. That was with the iPad rotated 90 CCW.
Okay, so what is that telling us? When the image is seen "right side up" on the iPad, it might be saving it differently? All 4 photos above worked perfectly to how you held the iPad, but not what you saw when you took the photo, right? They all looked "right side up" when you took the photo?

Yes, all four photos were right side up (when taking the photo) regardless of how the iPad was rotated.
Image orientation is saved in EXIF data, but not all devices save it. Your device might not be saving it, or, it might be turned off with some software switch.
So if the iPad is rotated 90 CCW it should always post them right side up. Or there are a few programs and apps that make it easy to turn the photo. I think that's our best workaround for the photos that don't want to post right side up. :alan2cents: I looked in to the Forum doing it, and it's not something that can be done very easy. Everyone is saying it's easier to use one of the apps or photo programs.
:ohyeah: Okay. Thanks for investigating. It's curious that some of the photos posted correctly at one time and now they are rotated.

I think the apps are the easiest way to go, yes.

That is very odd.
