I noticed that Tom Curran had uploaded some images from his phone that were rotated. Hmmmm. Better add an Image Rotation option.

I need a couple of Beta Testers to try it out.

Here's what's involved (read it all before responding please)

Upload an image that needs rotating.

Then: Manage My Images > Edit Image Settings > and click on the appropriate Rotation button. Then see if it works for you!

Report back. The whole process should only take 5 minutes including typing the response.

Easy, just let me know if you want to be added to the Beta Test Member list. (The list is currently empty!)

This option will only be available to the Beta Testers, so don't go looking for it yet

Email brit in usa g1 at g mail dot com to particpate.

Thanks.
As always, appreciate your assistance.

Thanks.

Paul

iPhone cameras create jpg files with some unconventional stuff that prevents some Windows image editors from being able to save an edited (e.g. rotated) version. (...makes me crazier than I already am.) They seem to be the ones that are improperly rotated when they're downloaded to some non-apple environment. Be sure to test with some iPhone pix.

Dave,
when an image is uploaded to our system it is basically rebuilt, and when rotated, it is definitely rebuilt.

So, in theory, that should not be an issue. But ...

Scott has a Mac (et.al.) and may have an Iphone. Do you have an IPhone Dave?

I have some iPhone pics that are taller than wide. I'll give them a shot.

Thanks Scott,
I believe the issues are cured, but need a test to confirm.

We're getting there. Thanks!

Wow...have an issue and bam! It get fixed. Here I thought it was me.

Paul, can you add me as a tester? I'm still on the road and only working off my iPhone (and still a little tech dumb) so it would be a good test. Will send an email from tcurran32766 at gmail.

Paul,
I can test in Linux (Ubuntu), Mac (Lion), Windows (XP & 7), IOS, & Android (and WinPhone 7 if you make me) using FF, Chrome, Safari, IE, Opera, FF for Android, Chrome for Android (if I get my other tablet back, my current one's hardware & OS (Gingerbread) won't support Chrome, but Opera rocks for it), Chrome for IOS, etc.

Obviously some of these are already covered by other folks, so I can test the outliers if that's helpful.

Tom, the 'thumbnail' pic does rotate, however, when you are looking at the list of your images in 'Manage My Images' the page is deliberately not updated during the Image rotate process. However, if you click on 'Start Search' after completing the Image rotation process, then the thumbnail will display correctly.

At least it should

Paul, just got a chane to check, you're right, it flipped. Here's another on from that day I rotated.

Was at Portsmouth UK today, still only in the forties, but plenty of sailboats on the water. I admit, I'm a wimp, that's still too cold!!

Update on the Image Rotation Feature.

Having had no negative reports accept that the thumbnail images are not shown in the new orientation until the list is refreshed, it looks like we're good to go.

The image rotation will go live once the 'how to' is complete.

Is there a way that the photo section can integrate with the rest of the members area and have the look and feel that Arlyn developed for us?
