High Sierra Topix

Is it possible to rotate photos within a post? I have photos taken on an Iphone that appear upside down or sideways when included in a post on HST - though nowhere else. I understand the basic reason for this, it has to do with EXIF data included with the photo, and have even found and tried and EXIF editor that supposedly allows me to change this, but that has not worked so far. So I am looking for a way to rotate the photo once I have attached it to the post. There is no obvious way to do this, but maybe there is a way that is not obvious.

First of all, we understand that photos shot with a modern digital camera are tagged with "orientation." However, there is the generic method of tagging orientation, and then there is the Apple method, and these two are different. If you create an image with Apple hardware, and then read it with generic hardware, the orientation may be thrown out of whack.

If you have an image that is being displayed incorrectly on a web site, then go back to the original image with the original tag, and edit that using a generic image editor (Photoshop, etc.). You will be placing a generic tag onto the image. Now display that on a web site that is generic, and your problem is solved.

I can't think how many hundreds of times I've had to do that to clean up the Apple/Microsoft debate.

Well, I discovered an easy fix: any image that loads sideways or upside down, I delete it from the HST post, go back to the file on my computer, open that image in Paint, then without making any changes, save it from Paint, and then it will work fine when I re-upload to the HST post. Found this fix by googling for Iphone photo rotation fixes.

Precisely what I advocated.
