Screenshot in landscape mode?

I take a screenshot while my iPad is in its landscape mode. But when I later try to view it from Photos, it's effectively been rotated 90 degrees. Obviously, then rotating my iPad doesn't help!

Thanks Jerry, duly installed and it should prove very handy.

But one rather surprising aspect seems to be that having edited an image (e.g. rotated), I cannot delete the original in PhotoPad. Normally an image editing program allows you to replace the original. Or at least delete it! Appears I have to go to Photos to delete the unwanted original. Or have I missed something?

This happened to me last night when I was trying to turn a photo from the web into my wallpaper, and it was very annoying. Then I learned that if you hold your finger on a photo for a few seconds, eventually a window will pop up allowing you to save it, and when you do, it saves in the proper orientation.

Not sure I follow you. In what application are you holding "on a photo for a few seconds"?

I had a prompt reply from the PhotoPad developer, confirming that you can't replace or delete.

+"You are correct that you cannot currently delete an image or replace an original image in PhotoPad. These features have only recently been permitted by Apple, and we have yet to integrate them into PhotoPad.+

+Sorry for the inconvenience."+

There is a free app at iTunes store called PhotoPad that will allow you to rotate the photo and save it.

The app also has other tools for image editing.
