is there something wrong with pictures.

[voided]

everytime i try to upload pictures. they are upside down...

if i put them upside down on my computer they still are upside down when they upload. but they upload upside down even if they are right side up on my computer.

That's strange, I've never had that problem...

Are the pics saved on the computer of still on a device?

saved to my computer. i even tried from my iphone 5 and same upload problem.

I could understand if they were from a phone but, not from a computer; if they're saved in the correct aspect on a computer, there's no reason I can think of why they would flip...

Sorry but, I'm gonna leave this one to the IT guys...

Hi,
let me guess, you took the pictures with a phone right?

Next time turn the phone 180° (maybe) the phone stores the direction into the picture data (most likely it will)
Some Computers store the same meta data, but at a different position
And a website tries to read no more than ONE such dataset (maybe the one of the phone)

I haven't checked your images yet, but that's a possible reason for this behaviour.

Another would be that you didn't actually updated the image on your PC at all.
(you can rotate an image in win preview without saving the new orientation to the actual image file)

You can try with www.picresize.com
just upload an image and rotate or resize it for your needs.
Images from picresize work perfectly fine with this forum.

If you want to check your metatdata you can use Jeffrey's Exif viewer,
just open an image (from the web or uploaded from your computer) and see what's been stored:

i tried jefferys exif viewer. (great link)

but it says my picture was taken horizontally and does not flip the picture and the picture is right side up as it should be

... and the picture is right side up as it should be

Huh?
That's odd; I wouldn't have suspected that.

I'll go and check some of your USD images;
maybe I can find something.

[EDIT]
Sooo.. it appears that all images are being processed by a script,
at least I haven't found any that wasn't...
without getting into too much details, the script itself doesn't seem to read the exif rotation at all;
it relies on "first pixel order"
or at least the pixeldata is more important than a rotation metadata.

There was (is?) a problem with newer Apple devices (ios 5 and later) that do not rotate the image but take the imagedata directly from the camera only changing the rotation metadata.

To fix that you need to edit the image
for example rotate and scale it in photoshop.. or GiMP [freeware]
and save the result.
Some photoeditors (like Apple iPhoto) do not rerender images
but - if possible- change the rotation value only.
Same thing seems to happen with Win7 rotating the image in "windows photo viewer".

OR of course, just remember to rotate your smartphone the other way around
(home button left = bad; home button right= okay)
