  • it rotates based on the original orientation tag i think... that data is likely dumped though, most websites don't preserve the EXIF data on images as it is unnecessary size (and sometimes contains personally identifiable information), so that explains why a copy and paste would work, the orientation tag no longer exists since the server stripped the data after processing the image. But that's just my guess based on the evidence presented ;)

  • lol.. i  just  copied  and pasted your big picture  ;-)  i do that  for folks sometimes  so others can see  it in real size in description  without clicking etc  .   odd that it accepts  a copy and paste of the same  pic

  • Yes, anonymous pick.. but funny that the site doesn't leave out the height value for the image when rendering the page, seems quite simple to fix.

  • Goodness, I found the problem. Both the height and width are specified in the markup. Remove the explicit sizing, and the page's structure sizes the image in an appropriate way... 

  • But instead of simply rotating the photo such that the long side is horizontal, it obeys the EXIF information for the orientation, then stretches the photo to fit the ratio on the page...

  • You mean that is not a 9" scale?  It seems like any photo that is cropped or rotated doesn't show right unless the proportions are what the site expects.
