Lemmy keeps reorientating my images :(

The food image is upside down and posted from brave mobile browser. The cat is upside-down and the tree sideways, both posted from Liftoff. Who knows how this image with turnout

  • Your camera took the image sideways and recorded a tag saying "this image is sideways, rotate it when you display it". For privacy, pictrs (image upload utility lemmy uses) removes all tags on upload. Adding support for rotating the image upon upload like many other image hosts do is on the road map, I'm sure. In the meantime use an image editor to properly rotate the image before uploading it.

    • Thanks! If using their alt front end doesn't do it like @mykl@lemmy.world said, I'll try to find a mobile app that let's me edit the exif data.

  • Key's answer explains the root cause, but you'll find that many of the apps now deal with this for you while you're waiting for the web interface to get sorted. In fact as you're on lemmy.world you can use their alternative front end which I believe has this fix in place.

    • Came back to say that yeah, voyager def fixes that.

      I just prefer the browsing experience of Liftoff, so Imma use Liftoff to lurk and Voyager to post.

      • Haha, we (Liftoff dev here) have got the issue fixed in our next build which should be coming out tonight!

  • It came out unchanged as fate would have it!
