Ok--a bit of a guess here. Cameras always write the picture the same way, no matter how you hold it. Probably top left first (if you're holding it "normally"). Cameras with orientation sensors (accelerometers or gyros) can sense how you're holding the camera, and will mark the picture so the next piece of software to process it knows how it should be oriented.

Unfortunately, that mark is being ignored or deleted somewhere in your photo processing.

If you use a software package that will actually write the picture out in this new orientation then all looks right in the world.

There is one small disadvantage. JPEG images lose a tiny bit of sharpness every time you manipulate the file, due to their lossy nature. One of the reason pros and wanna be's use a raw, lossless, picture format, at the cost of files that are several times as big and much slower to process.

Or, borrow WW's pinkie that magically transposes JPEGs losslessly.

Good grief Chris, all that geek speek has my head spinning -- which actually makes it much easier to view those topsy turvy photos.

How much you been drinkin Nikkia?

No alcohol for me. Just a REALLY long day monday and a set of stairs between me and my computer. Got taken out on the ski slopes 2 weeks ago by an idiot who thought he should go down the mountain in a tuck, but had not learned out to STOP yet.
The helmet-shaped bruise in the middle of my back is gone, but I am not back to myself yet. The back and hips are still really bothering me. He hit me 2" to the right of where my back was injured in a car accident 3 years ago. Sometimes I hate people.
And the original back injury- caused by a drunk driver.
