Wrong Photo Orientation

Hi there.
I just upgraded to Z1 Compact and while copying new photos I noticed my vertically taken photos are shown rotated left. Looks like all photos are taken in Width>Height resolution 3840x2160. This is fine for horizontal photos of course but Vertically taken photos appear sideways on my PC. My old HTC Desire S automatically adjust photos taken vertically to correct resolution by default (in sony it should be 2160x3840 if it did it the same way) which is what common sense suggest (photo Height should be bigger than Width)
Photos appear in the way they were taken in Album and such on the phone and I basically would like to get them copied to my PC the same way. Is there a way to do it on the fly or change some options I can not find to do so? I can of course rotate them manually in my photo explorer but it will be pretty annoying woth hundreds of pictures
Please let me know if you can help me out with it, cheers, Dan.

I just copied it to a folder, dont even have to use software to view them as Explorer icons' options shows minatures. Like I said all photos are taken in the same resolution which is 3840x2160. Xperia itself adjust it to display them in proper manner but if you choose photos details from menu you can see the resolution which is one above. Vertical photo should be taken in "vertical" resolution of 2160x3840 (basically Width should be much less than Height). 
Tried to get more info about this photo and with "Photos" software on my phone if you go to details you can see "Orientation" parameter set to 90 for vertical photos. So phone takes photos in one resolution it seems and then just insert its own modyfier to rotate and display these photos properly. I believe this parameter is lost when doing simple drag and drop on these photos resulting in them being not rotated. 
Just my take on this, any other ideas let me know, cheers. Dan

  • PS elements 6 - wrong photo orientation when printing

    PS Elements 6 on Windows XP.  Trying to print a 4x6 photo to an Epson PictureMate. On printing, PSE won't print full 4x6 page, and rotates it to the opposite direction of the printer settings.
    Photo was shot, corrected and cropped in landscape orientation.  When picturemate is set to Portrait, naturally PSE wants to print the photo on just the upper half of the page.  If I change printer orientation to landscape, PSE rotates photo 90 degrees to print on the left half of the screen, (see screenshot below)
    Once exported, the photo it prints fine, as a full page 4x6, via Windows Print Utility, but I'd prefer to not have to make 2 copies of every photo I want to print. Seems to be some miscommunication between PSE and printer.
    Has anyone else had this problem?   Google & forum searches were inconclusive.

    Yes, I experienced this problem with 4x6 prints.  I was unable to resolve the issue regardless of what settings I used.  I didn't try to print, as the preview did not look right, and gave up.  Ended up using PMB program that came with my camera to print on 4x6 prints.  I have Adobe configured as it's external editor and simply save the edited photo from PSE6 and it shows up in PMB.  Go back to PMB, find it and print it without issue.  Sad, but true.  It's a good thing I got PSE6 with my printer, as I would not have been happy spending money on it.  I've seen beta freeware that works better in the basic stuff, but none really as good as Adobe's photo edit results (good algorthyms/filters).  I would like to see just a "Photography" version without all the graphic artists crap.  Remember "Elements" is basically a try before you buy the full version.  If they made it too good, you would not want to get rid of it and upgrade to hopefully the "better" fully sized program LOL.  The photo editing quality was already good before Adobe aquired the program, and since, they have repackaged them in "upgraded" GUI's.  If you ditch the GUI of Adobe, and use the editing like myself with PMB, it works okay.  What you will find is that because it's photography, software created for use is disfunctional in one way or another for every program and you have to purchase several, if not many, programs to achieve good results; uiltizing aspects of each of these programs that the other can not or will not do properly.  It's all marketing and yes it's a scam to make as much money off a person's hobby to take and make quality photos, and print/publish, and business is good... greed is good

  • Photo Orientation Incorrect When Viewing MobileMe

    I've tried to find a solution to this by searching other posts. What I've found is this is not a new problem. I have two AppleTVs and I have the same problem on both units.
    But this is the real oddity. The photos not only display correctly orientated when viewed through a browser on both a Mac and iPhone (as well as the MyGallary app), but they also display correctly on AppleTV when previewing (as they carousel) while in the applicable onscreen navigation menus, and when they are displayed as a screen saver set to "Floating". However, if directly viewing in slideshow or when the screen saver is set to "Slideshow" the orientation is all messed up. And the current photos I'm view where also all taken with an iPhone and uploaded directly to the users MobileMe account.
    And on top of all that, when I viewed the first 4-5 photos on AppleTV (now up to 15 photos) they displayed in the correct orientation. Now some of those that did display correctly are messed up.
    How can the preview and floating screensaver correctly display the photos, they have a wrong orientation when in slide show. Again, this is on two aTVs. Seriously, there have only been Apple devices and Apple services used - this is should not be happening.
    I've have this problem in the past on both aTVs, but the pictures where taken with a Canon and uploaded to mobileme from an iMac. I figured it was a minor inconvenience and that Apple would resolve this in subsequent updates - this was over a year ago.
    The only thing I've tried to do so far is to delete the user's MobileMe account and then re-added - nothing corrected.
    Oh, and the software is up to date on both units.

    Clear instructions: Click on photo in iPhoto, then go to File, choose 'Reveal in Finder', select 'Original File'. A window opens up where the original photo file is held. Open the photo in Preview. Rotate photo as needed. Close and save. You are done. Restart your AppleTV and turn your photos on and off to share in iTunes. Ta Da, it all works and it's very easy.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Photo orientation in Ipad

    Hi I'm having problems with the photo orientation in Ipad. In my pictures, I have photos both in portraint and landscape mode. When I sync in Ipad, they are all landscape, the ones in portrait are orientated in landscape. How do I fix this. In my pc picture folder they are at the right orientation, but not in the ipad. Has anyone have this problem? and how do I fix it?

    Which OS are you using?
    I believe that old versions of Windows (XP and earlier) did not understand the orientation flag that is stored in the EXIF data. Most modern cameras have orientation sensors, and the save the orientation when the photo was taken in the EXIF data for the photo (the EXIF data is metadata that is stored along with the photo data in a jpg file).
    Any decent photo browser will understand the EXIF data and will display the photo properly without having to manually rotate the photo. However, if you manually rotate the photo in Windows, the photo data will be rotated, but the orientation flag will not be changed. When the photo is loaded into the iPad, it interprets the marker in the EXIF metadata and rotates the photo a second time.
    I'm not sure that this is your problem, but if it is your problem, then the photo is being displayed incorrectly on the PC, and the iPad is displaying it "correctly".
    If you think this might be the problem, try installing a program called irfanview on your PC. You can download it at: http://www.irfanview.com
    It is a great public domain image viewer program. If you install it, try looking at your photos in irfanview and see if it also rotates your photos like the iPad does.

    p.s. I can understand how what is happening must be annoying. The photo will be displayed incorrectly, and as you instinctively rotate the iPad to fix it, it auto-rotates again leaving the photo always in the wrong orientation.
    My OS is windows 7. So to fix it, I should rotate my pictures in my pc folder in landscape mode so that in the ipad it will be in portrait? As of right now in my pc folder my landscape pictures is in landscape in ipad but my portrait pictures is also in landscape in ipad. And no matter what I do, the portrait ones are always landscape. I've deleted the ipod photo cache and resynced. And no changed.

  • Slideshow with origami transitions - photo orientation changed

    I started playing around with the slideshow, and was happy with the origami transitions until I realized that for a few of my photos, it had rotated the images 90 degrees. They consistently showed up in the wrong orientation as the slideshow cycled through all my images.
    Is there a way to specify which is the desired orientation for display in the slideshow for a photo?
    And I wasn't messing with the angle of the iPad at all, so it wasn't changing the screen display orientation...
    Thanks!

  • When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

    When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2?  Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

    Update:  I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
    On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto").  This seems to have corrected the issue.  I'm not sure why.  Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

  • Photo orientation with AppleTV

    Hello all
    I have been having some problems with photo orientation in AppleTV screen saver and in viewing the iPhoto library on AppleTV. I did all the usual things, restarted the Apple TV, restarted computer, etc. What was really strange was the photos I had changed rotation in iPhoto were all good. It was AppleTV which wasn't seeing them as 'corrected' images. What AppleTV was doing, was seeing the original photos, rather than the edited versions (the correctly oriented photos).
    What I had to do was go to the original source of the photo. So I had to click on the photo, then go to File, see original file. The original file was still in the incorrect position. Once I opened this in preview and corrected it, it seemed to work. Will keep you posted. What is also interesting to note is that AppleTV was having problems with the original picture files of photos taken with a camera, rather than with the iPhone. There seems to be a bug here about how the AppleTV sees original and corrected files when the photos are taken with a digital camera.
    Keen to know what others have found.
    Happy AppleTV travels everyone.

  • Thumbnail shows wrong photo

    Hi, there!
    I have 5000 pix in my iPhoto 4 library and have been having trouble with the thumbnails showing the wrong photo. I noticed this first when a thumbnail was very horizontally compressed. . .and when double clicking onto it (to go from "organize" to "edit") it showed a different photo. The title is right and the photo is correct in edit mode, the thumbnail is just wrong. I think maybe a third of my library is currently affected.
    I saw that someone posted a similar question a few months ago, and the only answer suggested was to select all the wrong photos and "revert to original" in the photos menu. I can't do this, b/c that option is grayed.
    What I've been doing to correct the problem is dragging the photo to my desktop, then when I re-import it, it comes in with the correct thumbnail. (then, I delete the one with the wrong thumbnail.) A tedious way to do it, plus I'm losing some of my info, like the date the photo was shot.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Start iPhoto while holding the optioncommandshift keys until you're prompted about rebuilding the iPhoto library database. Click "yes", then the blue button. Go have a pizza while your library is rebuilt.

  • Syncing Wrong Photos/Pictures

    I have an iPhone 3GS with FW 3.1.3 and Windows XP operating system and everytime I try and sync lately, I get the wrong photos/pictures that come up with podcasts and videos.
    I have 2 videos on my iPhone and in iTunes it shows the correct picture under TV shows, I also have 30 podcasts from the same source and the photo shown under podcasts in iTunes is correct but when I sync, 20 of them have album art from somewhere else. I have tried numerous syncs, have tried to uninstall iTunes 9 and reinstall it but it never seems to work properly.
    I also have a movie that the same problem occurs to when I sync.
    Any suggestions, thank you very much.

    I have had the same problem with my 3GS and Windows 7. The wrong cover art sync happens haphazardly and changes.

  • Photo Orientation on Windows platforms

    I am so sick of flipping and turning my pictures every time I transfer them to my pc. Is Apple going to address this issues anytime soon?

    As I said, the orientation of photos is set in the EXIF data of the photo itself. Whatever you use to view the photo, whether it be Windows Explorer or some other program, should obey the orientation data and display the photo whichever way up it was taken.
    Picasa for Windows is written correctly and shows photos correctly. It is Windows that ignores the EXIF data, and as Microsoft make Windows, who else's problem could it be?

  • Changing photo orientation

    The photo orientation on the CHAPTERS THEME main page is vertical. How do I change it to horizontal?
    thank you

    Unlike the books, calendars do not change the orientation of a frame depending on the orientation of the photo dropped into it.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Does anyone elses iphoto thumbnails show the wrong photos in album ?

    This is a relatively new problem i am having.... when i open an album and the zoom is over c.20% or you change the zoom the thumbnails show the wrong photo. when you open to edit, the correct photo opens. This is veeeerrrry annoying. can anyone shed any light on this ?

    Hi slipstream1,
    I don't know why that started happening for you.
    Try this:
    Close iPhoto
    Navigate to where you have the iPhoto Library on your hard drive
    Drag the three thumbnail files found loose in the root of the Library folder to the desktop
    Hold down the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto until you get the rebuild window
    Choose the options to rebuild the thumbnails
    Hopefully this will fix it for you.

  • Filter by photo orientation

    How can I filter by photo orientation (i.e. portrait versus landscape) within the currently shown collection or folder?

    Okay, sort by aspect ratio, then select all the images of the group you're interested in (click and shift-click) and then make them fiterable. Either add a flag or a color, or make a keyword (portrait or landscape, perhaps), or just add them to a quick collection.

  • Wrong photo opens?

    When I try to open a photo which is in a file folder (not iPhoto) the wrong photo opens. Instead of the one I'm trying to open, the photo next to it in the folder opens. Same thing when I drag that photo to the desktop. The one I'm dragging doesn't end up on the desktop. The one next to it does. What gives?

    Hi scallywak,
    Try this:
    Close iPhoto
    Navigate to the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder
    Drag the Data folder and the three thumbnail files in the library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild screen.
    Check all the thumbnail options.
    Let iPhoto rebuild the library and hopefully all will be well when done.

  • Wrong photo gets flagged

    I have a weird problem with the wrong photo(s) often getting flagged for rejection in the Ligthroom3 Beta. Here's one way to make it happen:
    1. In grid view select a number of photos, say 6
    2. Switch to survey view
    3. Flag all but 2 for rejection and click the little X box in the bottom right corner of the images to deselect them
    4. Switch to Compare mode to compare the final 2 images. For this example, let's say images #3 and #6 are still unflagged and selected
    5. Flag one of the images for rejection. Let's say you flag image #3.
    6. Switch back to grid view
    I would expect that photo #6 would not be flagged, and the rest would be flagged. Instead, all but image #3 are flagged.
    I've also had the wrong photo get flagged when I still had multiple images in survey view, but I'm not sure what sequence of operations produces that behavior.
    Is there something wrong with the way I'm trying to use flags?
