Photo emailed upside down
When I email a photo, the people who I emailed stated that the photo is upside down. How do you correct?
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2

People are saying take the photo with the button to the right but thisis absolutely not the solution as i do it all the time and a receive the same comlain over and over again which is the photos are received up side down....
This is awful...
Ooh. I want to know the solution to this too. It's not only sometimes upside down, but also sometimes sideways. Happens with my iPhone as well.

Are the recipients Windows sufferers?

This link references importing photos from an iDevice but the same applies when emailing photos to a Windows user. The photo orientation is included with the photo's EXIF data, which is not being recognized or is being ignored by whatever is being used by the recipient to view the photos.
Ok this is a good explaination but what now ? End users like us dont have to do anything to make sure emails are sent correctly for other people whatever platform and whatever software they're using to view it.
You are not understanding.
The photos are being sent correctly - copied from my previous post.
The photo orientation is included with the photo's EXIF data, which is not being recognized or is being ignored by whatever is being used by the recipient to view the photos.
There is nothing you can do to force whatever the recipient is using to view the received photos to not ignore the photo orientation included with the photo's EXIF data.
Also, Apple should send the photo for everybody to see it the way they have been taken. What's this flag all about when the job is to send the photo we take the way we take it so anybody in the world whatever they're using will see it the way they should and not having to rotate them with softwares certainly not when it's a grand mother viewing the picture in an email received which is the only thing she can do with the computer...
I call it a bug in my language which should be fixed immediatelly.
I really understand man what you doesnt seem to grasp here is that so many people aren't very good at computers to use softwares or any other way to make sure they have something to use this EXIF flag. Understand that many people are just capable of reading email and the photos in the mail is wrong and they do not know why and what to do because they are either old poeple or very novice at computers. You and me its not a problem.
Do you get it ?
I disagree. 'Wouldn't it be nice ... ’ I think you'll find Apple have always been in the forefront of opening 'docs' that aren't ’Apple'. The problem is with Windows.
It is obvious you really don't understand and you will never get it.
Photos are being sent correctly, this has nothing to do with Apple or the iPad, and there is nothing Apple can do about a problem or bug at the recipient's end.
Very sorry to disapoint you but I totally disagreed. Forefront for Apple doesn't mean breaking standard rules which is not a Windows problem as the web doesn't necessarely look for a flag to rotate an image.
You have to understand that actually this flag called EXIF is nothing more than a lazy work from the Apple developpers to not rotate the pixel as it should be viewed by any kind of viewer around the world without having them to look for the flag.
The proof is out there. Why so many people are complaning ? Do you have the answer to that since you seem to know it so well ?
It indeed have everything to do with Apple and they should send the image the right way for any kind of software around the world to see the image as it was taken end of speech for me and hope you understand my point of view else you have a wall in front of you and there's nothing I can do to help you destroy that wall.
Once again, it is obvious you really don't understand and you will never get it.
GearWorld, you need to do some reading. EXIF is not lazy work from Apple developers, they didn't even invent it. Here is an excerpt from exif.org explaining what EXIF data is.
EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. Most digital cameras now use the EXIF format. The format is part of the DCF standard created by JEITA to encourage interoperability between imaging devices.
If you're a Windows user, then try using Irfanview. It's free, much better than the Windows photo viewer, and it reads the EXIF data and will properly orient the picture. www.irfanview.com
So what's the deal of using it if the entire world isn't ? Please if I don't understand there's a problen somewhere anyway since we're using Apple product, this problem started to occur to end users.
There's something I definitely not understand...
Sometimes people receive it all right and sometimes not. However the photo is sent the exact same way from ipad. Where is the problem then ?
Also people having a Mac reports having their images not on the right side so if this isn't a bug I'm really a retard and proud to be one.
So comon explain in some kind of easy way for dummies like me to understand why 1 time out of 5, even thought the image is sent the same way, people are receiving them inverted ?
