No it’s a wierd thing I have happen all the time, picture looks right side up, I upload it and it’s on its side. Now here is the wierd thing. If I delete the picture, go open it in paint and rotate it so it’s on its side, save it as is, then open again in paint rotate back upright and safe again and then upload that it’s upright and fine. So what changed, nothing, it was upright to start and after the two openings in paint it’s right back to upright, very weird. John likes weird as we all know, so maybe it’s IT foolery.

The picture has metadata in it that specifies things like orientation or eastern Ukrainian coordinates. Some applications may use or not use it. Sometimes just opening the image in an editor and saving it will encode it properly.
