Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Issue

[Trevor Carlson]

Thank you everyone for your input and advice. Cathy's explanation definitely
cleared up the why it is happening. I will be trying a few tricks and/or
programs suggested.

Thanks again,

Trevor Carlson

With Windows 10, perhaps one of the Picture viewers that you have already is
Windows Photo Viewer* ? (it was available as a free Microsoft program in
earlier versions of Windows - probably easily found to download but I
haven't tried)

I use WPV* for photos taken with my phone (sometimes they are upside-down;
often at 90 degrees) and I use this free application to rotate 90 or more
degrees L or R as appropriate. When moving on to the next pic, it
automatically rewrites the image to disk - but the useful EXIF data - for
example, the GPS info, etc - is retained.  
I also use Irfanview (have done so for 15+ years) but it does have some
features that are confusing for newer users. I would recommend WPV* instead.

Trevor,

You need to find the setting in FastStone Image Viewer or whatever you
choose to use to not automatically rotate images using the EXIF metadata.
Then you can truly rotate and save the picture in the right orientation. In
FastStone see Settings - Settings - Viewer  and uncheck Auto-Rotate by EXIF
orientation tag.
Legacy doesn't use the EXIF metadata to orientate the pictures, your phone
and many programs do.
Note you can edit images linked to Legacy in other programs - to rotate
them, remove flaws or crop them, resize them, ... provided you don't change
their filename. They'll still be linked.
Just make sure that if it's your only copy, you copy it somewhere else for
an archive copy first.

I recommend that you download and install either IrfanView or
FastStone (or both) and get your pictures the way you want them
(orientation, cropping, size, colours, brightness, etc.) before
attaching to Legacy. Both are free and can be downloaded from the
internet.

FastStone has a more up-to-date user interface and is better at
adding text/graphics.

IrfanView has the advantage of being able to convert to/from PDF
files and does more precise cropping.

I use both of them.

Well, I have a particularly perplexing issue that I cannot figure out. 
I've taken a number of photos on my iPhone 6 in which the photos are 
showing perfectly fine in the files (downloaded to my computer), but 
are all on its side when opening the folder in Legacy. No amount of 
'rotating' the pictures in the file folders helps, and you cannot edit 
photos directly in Legacy. What do i do?


Note, when the photo was taken in landscape, there is no issue. It is 
a problem only when taken in portrait.


I'm using the latest version of Legacy9 Deluxe, and use the default 
photo program from Windows 10. What is truly disturbing is that I 
never had the problem in Legacy 8. I've also attached into Legacy9 
pictures which had been downloaded prior to the Legacy9 upgrade 
without issue only two weeks ago. Why is this a problem now? Is there 
some setting on the iPhone6 screwing this up while snapping the 
pictures as well? If so, I cannot understand why the rotating function 
wouldn't work.


Thank you,

Trevor Carlson

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Issue

[Crystal Emory]

What happens if you rotate the picture say just one 1/4 of a turn any then
upload it to the legacy program one you figure out how many turns it
takes.  It might look wrong before it's loaded but be right in legacy. I
had that issue in another program and fixed it this way.

I recommend that you download and install either IrfanView or 
FastStone (or both) and get your pictures the way you want them
