Vertical photos are rotated right

  • When I upload photos that are vertical (rotated and saved) they upload rotated right no matter what I try (to fit the format of the other photos). If I attempt to use the rotate function of the gallery I get an out of memory error:

    Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 33816576) (tried to allocate 4320 bytes) in /TCT_WP/wp-content/plugins/photo-gallery/admin/views/BWGViewEditThumb.php on line 364

    How can I correct this? Other images I uploaded stayed vertical. This appears to have started after the plugin upgraded itself.

    Thanks!!

    Dear Billan,

    Please enlarge the memory limit of your hosting. Alternatively you can rotate the pictures offline and then upload them.
    Thank you.

    The pictures are rotated offline but when I upload them any vertical picture rotates right now. This didn’t used to happen. Is it possible that windows is reading the exif and correcting the orientation? I even tried to rotate right, save, then rotate back to vertical and save. When the image is uploaded it still goes right. The max PHP memory I believe I can configure is 20mb. I will try to adjust though.

    Thanks!!!

    Dear Billan,

    Please let us know how it goes.
    Also please try rotating with a more advanced image editing program, e.g. Adobe Photoshop.
    Thank you.

    I rotated in Photoshop and it stays vertical now. Doing a quick search it appears that WordPress looks at the exif data for alignment on the full size images only but thumbnails ignore it. Windows 8 must rotate without updating the exif data. Odd that pictures from a cell phone are fine but pictures from a DSLR need to be rotated in a tool like Photoshop. I’m not a big fan of this option because photoshop bloats the images with metadata after re-saving them. Any chance you could add an enhancement in the future to rotate based on the exif data for both thumbnails and the intermediate size?

    Thanks!
