What camera are you using? I had this problem with my cell phone. It turned out to be the orientation I was holding the phone. Auto rotation was the problem. I had no idea which side was correct until I accidentally turned auto rotatio off. When I previewed the image on the computer the computer automatically oriented it. When I tried to post, it was upside down. So, if the booth image was taken with the cell phone that might be the issue. If both images were taken with the same camera I am clueless.

Not sure if this would cause it or not, but the booth photo still has it's EXIF information intact (I.E. I can tell it was taken on 9/22/2013 at 3:05PM somewhere near the Mill Valley Public Library North of San Fransisco, with an IPhone 4, IOS Version 6.1.3, Flash set to fire always, and a bunch of other information, but you get the point...) while the pen photo has none of this information. I'm guessing you edited the pen photo in some application to crop and adjust it, while the booth photo may have remained unchanged from the camera data.



By the way, I'm guessing at the location, Your GPS coordinates acutally list the photo as being taken in the middle of the East China Sea, but I think it just did not record the negative value of the Longitude, -122;33 instead of 122;33, so unless you set your booth up on a ship that is searching for a missing plaine, I think instead you are north of San Fran...:biggrin: of course the information may be completely off also...

Download the picture to your pc. Is it upside down there? Download and install Picasa3 (free) Let Picasa load and index your pictures. See if it is upside down in Picasa. If it is, rotate it and re upload it to the forum.

Since it is a horizontal picture, you might have rotated the phone the wrong way when you took it. The software on the phone probably automatically orients it correctly when viewed on the phone, but it may be stored upside down.

You will have to send it to yourself then open it in an editing software and manually rotate it. These darn Smart phones are not as smart as we want them to be sometimes.

When you took the pic with your iphone, you rotated it from vertical to horizontal the wrong way, which resulted in you taking the picture upside down. But the iphone automatically corrected it for you, so you didn't know.

iPhones and iPads have a tendency to take pictures that show up upside down on a windows machine. I still haven't figured out how to take pictures that show up right side up on a windows machine. So I just have to rotate and resave the picture on a Windows machine before posting the picture.

Rotate the phone the opposite direction from what you normally do and it will be right side up on a windows machine. I had to do that with my samsung gravity thingy.

This is interesting. When I clicked on the booth the first time, it was upside down. Then I clicked on it again and it turned right side up. Go figure...

I find it just a little bit creepy that so much information is included in the background of a picture...Might not want to post a picture of your kids without wiping out that info first!

You are right! if you open it a second time it will auto rotate and be right side up!

You didn't move your monitor and accidently put it back upside down did you?

Does the next line look normal or upside down?

FOR the rest of you so you don't twist your necks and need to go to a chiroproctologist :wink:..

The line reads:

If this looks normal, your monitor is upside down! Simple fix ;)
