uploading pics to facebook always makes the pics upside down?
Hey everyone!
am I doing something wrong? I take most pics in landscape mode. when I upload them to facebook through the phone, the pics are ALWAYS upside down when it reaches facebook or anywhere else when i send over the phone.
If I hold the phone in protriat and take pics and then upload them, the pics come out sideways?!
whats the deal with this? am I somehow taking pics the wrong way for them to be upside down or sideways when I send them out?
Upside Down Pics via Facebook Mobile
Tried taking pictures with the hard keys on the right and uploading pictures via Facebook Mobile with hard keys on the right, but STILL the pics are upside down.
Even when taking/uploading pics with phone in portrait, pics wind up on their side! Any additional thoughts on this?
Re: uploading pics to facebook always makes the pics upside down?
OK I figured it out ! ( after several frustrating hours of uploading sideways or upside down photos via android ) I decided to do something kind for tonight. Here goes! first off, I found it doesn't matter whether you snap a picture via android Vertical ( straight up and down ) or Horizontal ( sideways / AKA Landscape ). The key is when you upload the selected photo you must turn your android horizontal / AKA Landscape mode or upload it in landscape mode. I have a T-Mobile Concord and photos seemed to upload correctly when I turned the android horizontally ( viewing the photo .jpg file ) and it automatically configures itself. One more thing, I noticed, photos will not upload to your gmail.com unless you open an account. It didn't seem to be an issue with Facebook which basically configures the above automatically.
Here's a Fix that Really Works
Okay.. FINALLY figured a fix though it has multiple steps:
- After uploading pic to desktop, "Open with Paint"
- Resize here for Facebook ( I use 400 pixels)
- Save to Desktop
- Open pic from desktop, right-click, copy
- Open Word Doc, Ctl V to paste
- Right click pic and choose "Size and Position"
- When box pops up... just hit cancel
- you will now have a pink button at the top of your screed that says "Picture Tools"; click it
- on the toolbar (far right) rotate as needed
- Right click on pic and "Save as Picture"
- The pic may still look wrong on your desktop... but when you upload to Facebook it will be correct
YAY!!!!
