Presumably if you export to photos or aperture later the orientation will still be good.

There may be something in that, as the pix came from SWMBO's old iPhone 5. Still came via the Mac though. Weird.

It just means that Inc's "this way up" detector has gone all Lucas. Most phones (and some compact cameras) know which way up your device is being held and tag the photo accordingly. So until further notice it's up to the user to make sure the photo is upright for all platforms. [biggrin]

Come to think of it, it's only happened since Inc gave a Mod role to V8Ian....

Oh dear, I've been sprung. [bigwhistle]

Inc told us all yesterday. Well, those of us who looked. So, dobbed in, not sprung.

It's what I have to do with every pic I take with my phone and post lately.

OK, that suggests to me that the forum is at fault, not me.

INC??:toilet::bangin: Or, of course, maybe not. But it is weird.

Pics of the latest engineering marvel are not loading.

Please ensure orientation is correct, Chops. I will accept no substitutes, broken forum or otherwise.

Used to have one of these... from a set of four.

Ford, model A I think... buzz-box / vibrator wot generated the HT for each spark plug. Old fashioned iteration of the "modern" 'coil-on-plug' idea.
- Feeding 18 or more volts through it makes a VERY impressive arc.[bigsmile]

Ford Model T - the Model A had a conventional setup (more or less).
