Pictures keep reverting back to the wrong orientation?
Some of you might had experience with this issue. Uploaded to the blog photos keep the wrong orientation even after editing.The problem is that the majority of modern cameras have a rotation sensor which writes an orientation EXIF flag into the file to tell your software howto turn the photo for display.The problem is that most web browsers ignore that flag in the image.
Safari and some Apple programs, such as Preview and iPhoto, recognize the flag and use it to rotate the image that’s why it looks correct on your screen.Presently our onboard image editor Aviary doesn't work with this flag too. However our technical guys are working on it. Right now to resolve this issue you need to fix the orientation of your photos before adding them to the admin. You can do that by means of a program which will rotate the actual content of your image based on the flag, then update it to reflect the new straight orientation.
