Any one know WHY my pics posted rotated?
Lemmy removes metadata which includes rotation data.
Many digital cameras don't actually rotate the pixels when you rotate the camera, they just tell the metadata that the image should be displayed rotated. So this is why removing the metadata causes the image to rotate on Lemmy or similar sites.
Could someone ELI5 on how I could maybe fix it? I tried rotating it pre-posting so it would post correctly, but it would post it as "edited" and it was still wrong. I've tried with both Connect and Jerboa.
