When I'm uploading photo's on to certain web sites, they rotate through 90 degees.
Only does it on some but not others, They appear perfectly ok in photo viewers.
Can someone help please. Is there a simple way.

Using a mac buy the way in case that makes any difference
Thanks Andy.

Opening your picture in Irfanview showed it to be rotated. I then rotated it 90 degrees & re-saved it, which has re-written the EXIF Rotation Tags.



I've never found out why different platforms seem to disagree about the Rotation Tag but I've alkways managed to sort it out with Irfanview.

If you’re taking the photos with an iPhone, tilt it to the left for photos so that the home button is on the right. Used to get this a lot when uploading photos for project work!

Also don't use Thumbsnap, it's ste. Use something like Imgur which is also free.

Photo's were taken with DSLR, thumbsnap is just what I assume the default website I was try to upload onto.
Thanks for the advice.
Will keep on playing.
