Hey guys. At first I thought the same, but I did some research and thinking, and you should be able to figure out the picture's aspect ratio, as I wrote above, and then determine whether it is portrait, landscape or square. All you need to know is the pixels width and height. You can usually get the information from a picture's file properties in the details tab. Without actually reducing to a ratio, if the height dimensions in pixels are greater than the width dimension, it's probably portrait oriented. If the reverse is true, then you have a landscape picture.
Portrait pictures are a lot more common than they used to be because of mobile phones. Most computer screens are wider than they are tall, but that's not the case with mobiles. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Have you tried the OCR feature with J2018? If not give the following keystroke a try with the picture highlighted. On a graphic image press the, insert + spacebar, dual-layer keystroke, followed by, O, for OCR, and, C, for graphical image! Also, it all depends on the person taking the picture, & what device they used to take the picture & send it to you! My sister in law takes / sends my wife pictures from her smart phone all the time, & my wife has yet to get a picture that is not sideways / upside down! Kinda is the story of my sister in laws life! LOL LOL Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: JM Casey To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2018 1:13 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry That's a good question. I'm don't know that you can, without looking at it. To do so would seem to require a certain amount of artificial intelligence, and probably still wouldn't be 100% accurate. Anybody else want to contradict?. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: February 5, 2018 3:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Thanks. With JAWS, is there a way to determine whether a png photo is in the landscape or portrat position? -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Monday, February 5, 2018 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry I think you're right. For MS word to use .png files, you'll have to go to "insert", "picture", "file", then make your selection, and insert it into your word document, if that's what you want to do. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: February 5, 2018 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Afternoon all. I have a logo, and it is opened as a png file. In my list of previously opened word docs, will this show up in the list? I am thinking not, as it is not a word file, but I have been wrong on more than one occasion. I am running JAWS 2018, Word 13 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.
