HT201317 Photos (portrait orientation) are cropped and white sides are added. Why?

I have set up iCloud to sync the photos that I make with my iPhone (4S) to my iPad (3). To view my Photo Stream from my PC (Win7 prof SP1), I installed iCloud Control Panel for Windows (v1.1). This also enables me to add older photos to the Stream.
Landscape -orientation pictures are added without problem, but portrait orientation pictures are both cropped and have white sides added. This looks bad on my iPad. Is there some setting I could change to make the upload leave the format of the pictures alone?
I think I have seen this issue addressed before, but there was no solution with it. Any help appreciated, Regards, Dirk.

I have had the same problem as this.
I recently went to Paris for a short break but was without wifi for the whole time.  I took about 300 photos on my iPhone 4. When I returned to the UK (and wifi!) the photos did not sync with my iPad via photo stream. I made sure I had 100% battery, was plugged into the mains, was connected to wifi etc.. I posted on here and was told that they should have synced automatically.  However, I had by then disabled and re-enabled photo stream on my iPhone (according to instructions I found elsewhere) and it seems that photo stream only syncs photos taken since it is enabled.
... So in a further attempt to get my photos from Paris onto my iPad I transferred them onto my windows laptop via cable, and put them into my "uploads" folder in my photo stream folder.  This didn't work either until I uninstalled iCloud on my pc and reset photo stream on iCloud.com. The photos eventually began syncing and appearing on my iPad. The problems now are as follow:
1) The photos are not in the right order, and there is no way on iPad to sort them.  Why in earth has this happened? Is there a way to sort them correctly? It's obviously frustrating to look through the photos in the wrong order, and even worse when trying to show them to friends and family! I can't work out which order they are now arranged in - its not in "file name" order or "date taken" order. Nonsensical!!
2) The portrait photos, as the original poster describes above, have all been cropped at the top and bottom and have horrible white borders at the sides where other photos taken on iPad/iPhone would have clean black spaces.
I've been back in the uk for 4 days now and been trying to sort this out on and off since then.  It really is a pain.  Does anyone know if there are ways to transfer the photos more easily and reliably between devices when photos stream fails, and if there are ways to rectify the 2 above issues?

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

  • How to stop photos opening in preview. I have always edited photos right from my desktop and now they are all opening in preview.

    I have always edited photos right from my desktop and now they are all opening in preview. How do I change it back? Thanks!

    They open in Preview by default.
    However, if you open Picture Folder in Preview, navigate to any photo ( without opening it ) then right click on the photo and select Get Info from the dropdown menu.
    About  2/3rds' of the way down on the Get Info tab you'll see a Marker ' Open WIth '. Enter whichever editing program you're using.
    Whenever you open a photo from whatever it's location it will open in the chosen editing program.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where did my photos go? I started to move a 25GB directory of all my photos to the creative cloud and now they are gone!

    The iCloud Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for thirty days.  If you have more that 1000 photos or photos nearing the 30-day mark, you should export them to another device.

  • How will Aperture treat Nikon raw images which have been enhanced using Capture NX2 software?  Some are cropped and "developed" and some have been enhanced using the control point technology.  I have NIK sw as a plug-in in aperture.

    How will Aperture treat Nikon raw images which have been enhanced using Capture NX2 software?  Some are cropped and "developed" and some have been enhanced using the control point technology.  I have NIK sw as a plug-in in aperture.

    Actually, there is a Nik/Nikon connection — but I am pretty sure it is irrelevant to the OP's question. The connection is that Capture NX2 was written as a joint venture between Nikon and Nik. (The name similarity is a coincidence.)
    Capture NX2 is a cool program that incorporates the features of Nik's Viveza and Nikon's Raw processing engine, along with some other powerful image adjustment features. It provides, like Aperture, a losses workflow. Unlike Aperture, the adjustments (Edit Steps in C-NX terminology) are saved in the original NEF file along with the un-altered raw data. Multiple versions can be saved in a single NEF.

  • I updated to io7 and the photos from the welcome screen and the wallpaper are like too much zoomed thank you

    I updated to io7 and the photos from the welcome screen and the wallpaper are like too much zoomed thank you

    View your landscape photo with your phone in the upright position.
    Tap on the photo once so the background goes black
    Take a screenshot now by pressing the round button and the top button together.
    Go back into your photos and find this new screenshot - then apply this as your wallpaper. You should be able to resize it :)

  • What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?

    Hi All,
    can anybody please answer this question
    What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    ROWID can be thought of as a pointer to the physical location (on disk) of the (table) row.
    From a ROWID value, Oracle can extract the file, block-within-that-file and offset-of-the-row-within-that-block. Using these, Oracle can directly access a disk block to retrieve a row.
    ROWNUM is a just sequence number of a row within a result set of a query.
    As said by other repliers, both are not stored. They are 'constructed' when you reference them inside a query.

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

  • My iphone is silent since downloading IOS7. All settings are correct and the side button is on.

    My iPhone is silent (ring tones and text alerts) since downloading IOS7. All settings are correct and the side button is on. HELP! Missing inportant calls.

    Try hard reset.
    Hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes black. Turn the phone back on.
    If that doesn't work, back up the iphone using iTunes.
    Re-install the iOS by putting the iPhone into DFU (recovery mode.)
    To do this,
    Make sure the phone is pluged in to you computer with iTunes open.
    Hold the Sleep and home button until the screen goes black, immediately release the sleep button but continue to hold the home button.
    After a few seconds your iTunes should recognize your phone in DFU mode.
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    At this point you should click on "Restore iPhone"
    After your phone is done restoring, don't start as new iPhone. Restore from back up.
    If that doesn't work, you're SOL.
    Take it to Apple. Tell them they are stupid.
