All things related to rain are welcome. Want to post a weather forecast? A puddle? A raindrop on a window? Does it look like it might rain soon? Or it just finished? We love the rain, and we welcome it all.

Why the orientation issue?

Last time someone asked, the answer gave was because the orientation in the EXIF data is used.

Exactly. The image is saved in landscape orientation with a note in the EXIF data that it should be rotated by 90 degrees when viewed. Lemmy apparently ignores this note and also strips all EXIF data, so this information is lost.

Right. Well, it shows the right way up in all other photo clients, desktop, web, android.... so it's not like I can even edit and flip it :/

This is the problem I have - how do you fix it if it looks OK before upload?

Lemmy should be rotating the image according to the EXIF data before stripping it.

you can edit the image, delete the exif data and upload it again
