Skype picture upside down on iPad

My picture on Skype is seen by the person at the other end as upside down. Might anyone know how to correct this? Thanks

iPad 2, iOS 7

If this happens on Windows systems it is because the Windows Photo Viewer and Live Photo Gallery may ignore the EXIF orientation data in the photos. This data tells the viewer which way is up.


See here for discussion and details from Microsoft on how this may be fixed on Windows:

You can also avoid this problem by taking photos in landscape mode with the iPhone/iPad held with the Home button to the right. In portrait mode keep the Home button down.
