I use a Mac OSX, import my photos into iPhoto. In iPhoto, all my photos are in the correct vertical orientation. When I open them in Preview, they are in the correct orientation. When I upload them to patternreview.com as project photo thumbnails, they are turned 90 degrees counterclockwise. Is there a tool on patternreview.com that will turn them back the other way? Or do I need to figure out how to change this on the Mac side of things, before I upload the pics?

I searched your board and knowledge database and couldn't find anything on the topic. I'd appreciate your advice!

Hi,
I have a Dell computer, upload my photos to Flickr, and have the same problem. Only the thumbnail is rotated. I would also like to be able to correct this. I posted in another thread a couple of days ago about it.

Thanks for validating -- someone just left a review on my last pattern review, asking if I can change the photo orientation, so... hopefully we will get it sorted out soon.

FYI, after I posted my original help request on this board yesterday, someone commented on my latest review that the thumbnail was sideways, could I please fix it, etc. etc. I figured out a workaround this morning. It's a couple of extra steps but easy, and I guess I will start doing this:

1. Go to Flickr page with the photo in its correct orientation.
2. Save the photo to your desktop.
3. Edit your review, if it's already posted, and switch out the sideways thumbnail with the photo on your desktop you just saved from Flickr. Save your edit.
4. View the page you just edited, and refresh/ reload the page in your browser if the thumbnail still looks sideways. You can drag that photo from your desktop right into the trash/ recycle bin as you shouldn't need it anymore.

Et voila! That did it for me and I hope it works for you, too.

I'll give it a try. I also reposted in the Bugs and Problems thread to ask Deepika what is going on, as we shouldn't have to do all that. She missed my question the first time around, I hope she will get it this time.

I have the same problem when posting from the Library-Originals. It is an iPhoto/Mac issue and I am sure there is a workaround wih the Mac. I also found that photos that I thought were deleted are still in the originals file. I'm not a veteran Apple user, so I am going to look this up.
