When I'm using my SS Galaxy tablet, (my primary tool) I have learned that I have to rotate it 90 dg to take a pic for it to show right side up when I attach and place in line for a post. I actually get better pics from my S7 smart phone because it seems more forgiving to movement. However, if I send that pic to my own email to use from my tablet, how do I know it will be right?
I learned early, that when attaching a pic from my files on the tablet and they appear right side up, when they post, then they are upside down...not as computer savvy as I might need to be, but what goes on here?

I just open the file in an editor (Windows Paint) and crop/rotate/resize as needed before posting.

.
The picture is embedded with orientation information from the camera. The bottom edge of the picture will be embedded like below illustration.

So if you snap a picture with the camera lens 'up' (instead of to the left). The picture when posted will be 90' rotated to the left. If you snap a picture with the camera lens to the right, the picture will post upside down. For deeper dive, look at the 'Photo Testing' topic in 'Hobbies/Photography...' http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4541 The topic also covers why pictures are often distorted (stretched/squeezed).

Thanks Mags and 88. I will experiment!...good info for this dummy. If all else fails..I will try to stand on my head...

Yup always keep the camera shutter release button on the right when taking a pic with a cell phone. If you get one up there turned Mark Jim or myself can usually fix it. I fixed several yeaterday in the picture thread.

Thank you Al! Will experiment as we go on. There have been times based on what I'm taking a pic of, when I'd like to hold my tablet vertically but don't because I don' know how it will post then.

I don't own a smart phone but I take pics with a Nikon digital camera. Upload to my PC, and edit however I want (including color correction and various FX using a free editor called IRFANVIEW. https://www.irfanview.com/ It works with all versions of Winderz, so should work on your phone/tablet.

I didn't see a version of IRFANVIEW for Android or IOS (most phones and many tablets). Is there one?

I think it's available as a "Windows App" for phones, from the Windows App store. But since I don't have one of those modern doohickeys I can't say for sure.

Not many phones run Windows. Tablets, Laptops and Desktops are a mix of Windows, Android, and IOS. A "Windows App" only works on devices with Windows.

Haven't noticed that. Will have to take a closer look.

Open a picture. Then open the 3 dots in the upper right corner. Last entry in the drop down menu.
