Photos not staying rotated

[Jon]

Hi,

If I link to a photo that has been rotated in my folder, for example <img src="Folder name/photo name" >, the image appears in my wiki in it's original, unrotated position.

What's the best way round this?

Regards

Jon

Browsers don't always play nicely with exif data in images.

I am not sure it will work but you could try adding

image-orientation: from-image;

To the tags style attribute.

Hi Jon

Rotating images used to be a time-consuming operation for digital cameras and phones. To avoid it, the JPEG standard allows a bitmap to be specially flagged to cause it to be rotated through 90, 180 or 270 degrees for display. This allows cameras and image editing programs to very quickly rotate images, without having to modify the pixels comprising the image.

The trouble is that these flags are used inconsistently, and not always honoured by display software. Hence your experience that a single image can appear differently in different contexts.

There are some more details here:

The usual  solution is to use different software to rotate the images. If it’s an image embedded in TW5 (rather than an external image using _canonical_uri) then you can use the provided rotate image toolbar button:

Best wishes

Hi,

For Windows I'm using Irfanview software, which has a lossless rotation - save feature.

It also has a lot of other image manipulation features. Especially interesting is the BATCH processing.

Thanks everyone for your quick replies and I understand the issues a bit better now. The Irfanview software worked a treat.
