Gary Lewis Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have no idea why that pic comes out upside down or how to fix it. I guess in the end I need a new pic The reason the pic is upside down is because of the way you had the camera oriented when you took the pic. Most cameras and phone embed the orientation info in the picture's metadata and most apps are smart enough to read the info and correctly orient the pic. So you never see that you had the camera upside down. This forum isn't smart enough to do that, nor are many other forums. There are a couple of ways of fixing it. One is to open it with an app that re-orients it and then save it. Sometimes you have to change the pic slightly to be able to save it. But that usually does it. Another way is the way I did it. I right-clicked the pic, copied it, and pasted it into the app called Paint. Then I rotated it and saved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck half the time I'm suprised the lights don't go out when I hit enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
