Title: Spin pictures sticky
Post by: Wetwoodshunter on December 11, 2020, 05:28:43 AM: Ok, I may be the only person struggling but for the life of me I cannot get all my pictures to post the right way. I have spun them on my desktop like a top but it seems random when they get posted to the site how they show up but about 70% post correctly.

Can someone walk me through how to do it or make a new sticky like ya'll did for using the website and resizing pictures. I would love to be able to do it myself and not have to keep asking a mod for help.

On my laptop I locate the photo file, then right click on the photo file, then left click on "open with" then left click on "Microsoft Office Picture Manager", then I rotate the photo and then I save it. I read somewhere that you should save as a new file so you still have the original photo file.

I never knew how to rotate photos on my androind phone or on my new iphone that I have now? Maybe someone else can help with that?

What I learned was that that I was doing flipping, and rotating would save them but it didn't matter how they were oriented before I posted them to the site, they would always post the same way.

If I oriented the picture the way that I wanted it and used the cropping tool and saved a new .jpeg. If I did this the pictures loaded correctly on the site every time.

If I'm on my computer I rotate and resize to 800x600 or there abouts and it virtually always loads properly.
