So, I'd like someone at CBid to explain to me how my pictures... which are sent to them like this... end up sideways.

I'd like to know why it happens, or how it happens, so I can avoid it in the future.

You know... my f***ing laptop has windows 10, which I hate, and the microsoft sh*t updates suck balls.

In short... I haven't a clue. I do know that when the damn thing updated, it got rid of my photo resizer. 🤦

Have one little issue, took some photos in jpg format and in Windows 10 default image viewer rotated them into correct orientation and later added to eBay. Problem is that on eBay it still shows them in original orientation and not rotated! Is this behaviour expected? E.g image viewer 'remembers' correct orientation, but it's not saved in the image file itself?

The rotation information is saved in the EXIF data so the viewer is simply reading it so it can display the files correctly. This is an improvement over previous versions that didn't use the rotation data. 'Paint' is built-in to Windows so you could try using that to open the files then save as different name to see if it 'fixes' the rotation. If that doesn't work, try downloading a copy of 'The Gimp' which is a free image editor and doing the same thing.

For some reason windows 10 is auto rotating all of my pictures, leaving some shots in landscape view and rotating others vertically. I must find a way to disable this feature. I'm using Windows 10 on a business computer and we draft reports using photos that must all be in horitonzal view which would be incredibly tiresome to manually set for every single picture.
I have looked all over for answers but since windows 10 is so new, I can't seem to find a compatible solution. Does anyone know how to disable the photo auto rotate feature???

Took a picture and e-mailed it to myself... it rotated, so it has to be the damn Windows 10.

Thanks, Gene.
