If you get them to help drink it that problem doesn't happen.

I see the hand surgeon on Wednesday but I’m going MAD not being able to do any real shed work so I took the cast off today and milled some timber for a mate. It felt really good ...... until I realised that my hand had swollen so much that I can’t get it back in to the cast!
I guess that my dream of avoiding surgery is, at best, a faint one but I’ve probably lessened whatever chance there was by working today and potentially destroyed it if I can’t get my hand back in the cast by Wednesday!
I hope the surgeon has a sense of humour or, even better, is A WOODWORKER?

The picture above was taken on my iPhone in square format with the shutter button above the screen. ALL PICTURES appeared the right way up in the photo file on my iPhone !
So, if they do not rotate further during posting (AND THEY DIDN’T) then (as I think Lappa suggested?) all SQUARE FORMAT pictures must be taken with the shutter button to the right of the screen. It appears that the software that rotates the pictures to be stored the right way up on the phone, gets ‘corrupted’ when the picture is posted on the web!
PS, it’s amazing the things the brain gets up to when you only have one working hand?

This picture above was taken on my iPhone in rectangular landscape format with the shutter button on the left side of the screen.
However, once again, both images appeared the right way up in the photo file on my iPhone!
SO, ONCE AGAIN, RECTANGULAR LANDSCAPE FORMAT PICTURES MUST BE TAKEN WITH THE SHUTTER BUTTON TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN.

Yes, but what do they look like if you export them to your 'puta (a Mac, I know).

As I understand it - and this is for a PC - a pic taken in vertical format on a camera (that doesn't make bloody useless phonecalls ) needs to be opened in windows Pic & Fax Viewer or Photoshop etc etc, and saved. If there is no save button (such as in P&F viewer) just Ctrl+S will do it.

I have it on good authority that the program to use on a Mac is "Preview", unless you have PS or similar.

The pic can then be uploaded and retains its format correctly. I believe I have previously done this successfully on here, but will do a test post (in this thread).

Having said all of that, it is a bug in the Forum software that we all know did not exist until about a year ago. Perhaps we should start a class action for neck injury compensation?

BUT......

The picture above was taken on my iPhone in rectangular PORTRAIT format with the shutter button below the screen and the post composed on my iPhone with the iPhone in landscape orientation.

The picture above was taken on my iPhone in rectangular portrait format with shutter button below the screen BUT the post composed on my iPhone with the iPhone in portrait orientation ( this is the same picture file as the first image above)

The picture above was taken on my iPhone in rectangular portrait format with the shutter button above the screen and the post also composed on my iPhone with the iPhone in portrait orientation (this is the same picture file as the second image above)
SO, HOW DO I TAKE, COMPOSE AND POST A RECTANGULAR PORTRAIT ORIENTED PICTURE?

FF’s post arrived when I was (slowly, one finger.....) typing my last post. Chris Parks sent me a link today to another forum having the same problem that also seems to have started about the same time. SO, IS THE PROBLEM OUR BELOVED FORUM OR (and here’s the heresy bit) IS IT OUR MOBILE PHONES?
I have spent the last 2 months travelling and writing a blog but virtually all photos in the blog were taken on my REAL camera, selected then NFC’d direct to my iPad or iPhone and I had no rotational issues at all (although that was to my blog and not the forum)!
So far, in my search for successfully-posted-rectangular-portrait-oriented-pictures-on-MY-posts, I have only found one and that was a picture that should have been a vertical rectangle but had been grossly distorted into a square format?
This IS doing my head in but at least I now know how to take and post both square format and rectangular LANDSCAPE formatted pictures without rotation.

THE SEARCH AND RESEARCH CONTINUES!

Rightio, test pics, using the first vertical pic at hand (on the desktop)

Saved in P&F viewer in vertical format - FAILED in the forum upload
Pic saved in P&F.JPG

First of these two was saved the other way around horizontally and the second was saved upside down - FAILED in the forum upload
Pic saved in P&F sideways.JPG Pic saved in P&Fupside down.JPG

BUT all of those three pics open as they should (specified above) in P&F viewer, so that's a bit weird - the forum software is making them revert to their native format (pre-saving in P&F)



Noo then, this one was saved vertically in Photoshop. Even though the icon on the desktop is vertical, and it opens in P&F vertically, when I FIRST put it into Photoshop it opened up HORIZONTALLY. Then I rotated the canvas 90°CCW and saved it, and it loads perfectly to the forum, as you can see.
Pic saved in PS.JPG


But here's the rub: when I now open that image in P&F Viewer it opens up horizontally, and with the oven on the right, NOT THE LEFT as you see above.

Like this - hopefully

I took the the photo in portrait mode with the button at the bottom. I opened the photo, then clicked “edit” on the iPhone, rotated it 360 degree ie. a full turn, then pressed “done” Apparently it’s this “done/saving” step that locks it in the whatever orientation you took it in?
