Why when I post a JPG it posts upside down?  Can someone explain how to fix this?

Thank you for the great pic

Stache, It happens to me too.  I tried to find some links (attached) to better understand this, so you could search yourself too.

Photos taken on smartphones, tablets and some cameras can appear upside down or sideways when uploaded to a post or page because the device stores the image’s orientation in the EXIF metadata and not all software is able to read the metadata.  The solution seems to be to take your photos and videos by holding the device in landscape mode with the home button on the right. 

I cannot change the orientation of your pic for you, since I cannot get into your account.  I am not sure whether Admin could do this for you?  You could write and ask. 

Otherwise all I can suggest is that you experiment with the pic in your editing programme, rotating it a couple of times, saving it, then re-uploading it to see if it corrects the issue.  Otherwise try posting a different pic that might not do this?  One of my recent pics has displayed sideways, while all the others I uploaded have displayed correctly.  I have an iPhone.  Great pic nonetheless Stache (you look most distinguished) and we can always turn our phones to view it correctly anyway, can't we?

I don't havea way to fix it either (like Gemita, I am a moderator). If you did it from your phone, I would try again from the computer.

You can import the file into Paint and manipulate it from there. I used Paint to resize the EKG trace to try to get the whole thing on the image (didn't work).
