Photos loading sideways!
This is really annoying as I can't understand why this has suddenly changed! I've been loading from the same batch on the Monday with no problem then suddenly on Tuesday everything changed!
Thanks, Hollows.

Re: Photos loading sideways!
This is strange. I know this happens on images taken by some phones. But why this happens on your pictures starting Tuesday ... that's strange.

Re: Photos loading sideways!
I tried again tonight and it was hopeless but I'll do a few more test loading tomorrow and see if anything has changed! I can see it in the Preview setting.
If I view the last lot on my iPad it's fine!
Cheers, Hollows.

Re: Photos loading sideways!
Just opening in any edit program and save without change helped...
This is both from camera and phone. They all look correct when view on the computer though.
My conclusion is that tdf thumbnail generator isn't the best...

Re: Photos loading sideways!
Thanks Sofos for suggesting doing something like that!
It's a bit of a faff and I still don't know why it just started happening but at least I can post something again!
Cheers, Hollows.

Re: Photos loading sideways!
In both cases you can solve it as you already mentioned, by re-saving the images through a fairly modern image editing software, which will update the EXIF-information in the image file.
I believe there are fixes for this to phpbb forums out there for admins. It's been a few years since I messed around with this, but I'd be surprised if it's still as much of a problem. I rarely see this issue in other forums anymore.

However, I'll look at what's happening with the EXIF data thanks.

Re: Photos loading sideways!
I knew this issue from some smartphones and tablets ... here's a test with a Samsung Galaxy J7
Test 1, unedited file directly from the phone, it's sideways: The image viewer on my laptop (ACDSee 20 shows it right, also shows that it has been rotated).
Test 2, gone to edit mode in ACDSee and saved without changing anything. Now in the EXIF data the orientation is changed from "Right Upper" to "Upper Left":

My laptop shows your first photo laying on its side with her head to the left. The second photo is upright as it should be!
However, on my iPad both photos are the right way up!!!
Damn this modern technology! It's too smart!
Cheers, Hollows.

Check: Windows + FireFox: first picture on its side
Check: Windows + Edge: first picture on its side
Check: Samsung phone webbrowser: first picture on its side
So it's just your iPad showing both right

Re: Photos loading sideways!
This gets confusing, because "the way it should be" and "the way it was shot" are different.hollows+fentiman wrote:

"Should be" is the way we WANT to see it on screen, but the first shot (sideways) is the way
it was actually shot, so that's the one that is accurate.
It doesn't help that cameras, browsers, software etc. are changing orientation on the fly and
it isn't all that well documented (or not that easy to find) so it is mostly one of those things
we don't think about until it is a problem.

Re: Photos loading sideways!
Samsung Galaxy phones are NOTORIOUS for bad EXIF rotation data. I had two: Samsung Galaxy on5 (MetroPCS), Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge (Boost Mobile) and they always had my photos in landscape orientation even if I took the picture in a portrait orientation.
A couple LG phones, the LG K7 (MetroPCS) and Tribute 5 (Boost Mobile), same phone just different carrier do that too.
But my current phone, the ZTE Prestige 2 (N9136, Boost Mobile) doesn't do that.
Case in point:
Picture of Elisabeth Rachael Snow (DSDoll EX Lite) taken with ZTE Prestige 2 in portrait orientation:
No editing needed.
Photo of same doll with same phone in landscape orientation:
(Watching Good Eats, as you can see... )
Still in correct orientation.
From personal experience, Samsung and LG phones have this bug in the camera app that doesn't report the correct orientation in the EXIF data.

Re: Photos loading sideways!
If not, go to the Nikon camera system menue and check, if the picture orientation is set to automatic.
Sometimes pressing two knobs at the same time changes settings (dont ask why I know).
