I Just do a quick photo edit, A slight crop
Jester why it does it recent past but I can’t remember exactly what it is, might have something to do with the data scrubbing. @babywhisperer14
Yes, it's the stripping of EXIF data for privacy. Phones store orientation data in EXIF, but also things like location & more. Orientation by default is the longest dimension is width, so removing EXIF will leave it with the orientation that way.
Editing the photo before upload & saving it overwrites the actual image info, so it's then oriented in the pixel data itself.
ok yes! Thats right. Thank you, @FernLovebond
@babywhisperer14 Slightly crop photo before posting.
@babywhisperer14 All photo data is stripped from photos (location, date, etc, and orientation goes with it.)
The help goes into it, but 2 solutions work:
1) Make any edit to the img before upload: color pallet, crop, single pixel color change, whatever.
2) turn your phone sideways to take the picture.
Anyway, always check the user guide when things don't work right: https://help.counter.social
If that doesn't help you, you can always post with the tag #CoSoHelp or #Help 🙂
Perhaps crop some off the height bf uploading?
@babywhisperer14 You have to make a small edit to the picture then re-save it and upload; like a tiny crop or color correction. It's because phones store rotational data in metadata, and that gets stripped here, but re-saving it bakes the rotation info in safely
