What do you mean? Image uploaded to what?

Upload a image to a post. The picture was taken with my camera turned sideways. When i upload the picture, it shows the picture sideways, i want to rotate it so it shows visually correct.

In windows it shows it right side up, so, i cannot rotate it within windows explorer, it seems to have no effect.

You should be able to rotate it 90 degrees and save with an image editing program then upload it. I use GIMP myself but there are many out there.

I figured it out.. Seems crazy. i didn't have this problem in windows7. Rotate left/rotate right would physically rotate the image. Now, it just visually rotates it. I have to send the picture to Paint, and its automatically oriented correctly, so, i just have to load it into paint, and hit the save button.. Seems like a long work around.

It is compared to using something like Irfanview that can rotate the image by pressing the R or L keys and save it without having to fire up Paint and any of its AI accoutrements.

What would be nice is if i could just right click the image in file-explorer , and rotate it and resize it in two quick clicks. - like i could in windows7.

They make newer and newer software that becomes more user friendly for ignorant people, which is fine, but then take away power tools for people that know what they are doing. I ended up installing a program called JPG lossless rotation tool. It views pictures in original raw orientation , and has a button to rotate all pictures automatically or one by one.
