I've encountered this problem while uploading some photos to my submissions. Some of you may have had the same problem - uploaded images, even though they look rotated well, get wrong rotation on steemit. I tried to google the solution and people come up with some time-wasting things like screenshotting the actual photo or how to do it on iPhone. First of all - it is not steemit issue, it is Windows photo editing issue. Second of all - the solution is simple.
So the main issue is that the photos, which are rotated in Windows look well only in windows - rotation in Windows gallery just change the view, not the image. The solution is:
- Open the file which seems to be rotated fine in Windows gallery.
- Select the edition icon and go to edition.
- Go to "cut & rotate" in top right corner.
- Don't change anything, just press "done".
- Save file.
Now the image is rotated properly for edition, steemit, other websites and not only to be viewed well by Windows.
Hope it helped :)
