RIWright -

That's a really nice installation, and I'm glad to see the picture. But have mercy on us! The file size is 2 1/2 MB, the picture is over 18 inches high at 150 dpi, it takes forever to load - and it is sideways! It takes only a few seconds to resize a picture and rotate it before posting it. The forum doesn't have any rules, but if the posted file size is something more like 150 KB, and it is upright, people are much more likely to see it and enjoy it.

Thanks

Bill

I have found that living and camping in Florida during the winter months helps to keep our TM cozy.

Thanks Bill. Getting pictures onto the board has always been a bit of a science experiment for me. I tried it again. On my machine (an ipad) it shows as 185k and in the correct rotation.

When I view the post the picture is in the correct rotation, but squashed.

Maybe I'll try it with the Windows computer.

Oh-ho! It has been resized since I first downloaded it. It now shows up as 640x478 and 118 KB, which loads instantly.

What do you see attached to my follow-up post?

I'm still betting that the original picture was posted directly as it came out of your i-camera?

Riwright, I recently had the same issue with my picture uploaded from my iPad. One problem with uploading from an iPad to the forum is you can only load one at a time. It doesn't seem to recognize different file name, and you can't rename them on the iPad, that I know of anyway.

I emailed it to myself, which give you the option of lowering the resolution.

The one attached to your followup looks good but is rotated. The one currently attached to my post shows up as squashed but the rotation is correct.

Thanks for the picture Riwright.
That looks like a good use for the corner cabinet.

This is interesting. I'm not sure what is going on, but I would like to know. On my Windows 7 machine, I copied out your original big picture, reduced the size, rotated it to be "correct", and uploaded it into my follow-up post. I assumed (bad idea, I know) that if it was correct for me, it would be correct for everyone. But I think you are telling me that as viewed on your machine, your original picture was correctly rotated it when you posted it, and now my corrected version is rotated. I have no idea why this would be true, or where the rotations are happening - does anyone know?

The answer is in the so-called "EXIF data", the metadata that many (but not all) cameras attach to pictures. Not all cameras attach EXIF data, not all graphics files have had the EXIF data preserved, and not all display programs use the EXIF data even if it is present. For example, the picture in your post has an EXIF "rotated" tag, while the picture in my followup, having been manually rotated, does not.

Simple graphics display programs like Paint, Windows PhotoViewer, and Photowise ignore the EXIF rotation tag. More elaborate programs, like IrfanView and Photoshop check the tag as the file opens, and automatically deal with it if the user has previously enabled Autorotation in the Settings menu. (This setting applies to all files.) I note that GIMP checks the rotation tag of each file as it is loaded, warns me if it is rotated, and asks if I want to unrotate it. Other programs, like the one you are using apparently, check the rotation tag, but don't tell you what it finds.

But that really doesn't tell me, or anyone, how to proceed. And I am dragging this discussion way off topic. If anyone has ideas, we should start a new thread in the Off Topic area.

Anyway, my apologies for jumping on you too quickly regarding rotation (not size, though). I'll be more reserved in the future.

Bill
