Okay so here's the deal, I took a picture with my iPhone 4S (Vertical). On my phone when I go to Photos, it has the picture as vertical. However when I plug in my phone and transfer the photo to my desktop (Windows PC) it comes out not as it should.. Pictures are below. When I transfer it to my Desktop. http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/6091/dtop456.jpg Actual Photo http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9542/img0645hq.jpg
The photos are all saved the same orientation, there's metadata in the file that tells programs that recognize it whether or not the photo should be a different orientation. Windows doesn't have this built in, but Facebook, the iPhone, Macs, anything else really, do. (This is how it has been on the iPhone since forever, BTW.)
A pain in the butt, but you are aware that windows has the ability to rotate those images in paint? You are not stuck viewing them sides ways?
Actually, no. Because it rotates the actual image, but still keeps the orientation metadata. Meaning, you upload it to facebook through your computer, and it's rotated AGAIN. Needs to be rotated and saved as a new image.
XxTearGodxX, requested how to get it to look right in windows, specifically... Some might hear in the responses that in Windows, you are stuck with a side view. There are many many ways to rotate, and fix pictures in Windows. Not everyone is interested in Facebook. Now the original posters has a couple of options.
I agree with using Photo Viewer, I've done that a couple of times and when I upload any picture online it uploads it the way I want it, does not rotate it.
send yourself an email with that photo attached, open it on your computer, download. BAM. Problem solved, you're welcome.
Or... You could rotate it on your phone and it'll get uploaded to your computer how you want it to be. Correct me if i'm wrong and this won't work; I'm not exactly a wiz when it comes to Windows computers. Sent from Hell using Forum Runner.
