    Thanks Lee. That's not my experience. Here's an iPhone 5 photo, shot in (vertical) portrait mode, with the power button and image sensor at the top of the phone. It is rotated by SMC 90 CCW.

    For landscape photos, I need to put the volume buttons, which control the 'shutter release', on the bottom of the phone to get it to display in SMC correctly. To me, 'shutter release on the bottom of the camera' is 'upside down'.

    So now you know where the top of the phone is. All you need to do is move to Australia and your phone will be right side up...

    I just finished a FaceTime session with my daughter who moved to Sydney a few weeks ago. I'll ask her to test this theory.

    I do have it figured out, as long as I stick to landscape orientation.

    Looks like it's still a multi-step process here, which I'm not willing to do just to post pictures here when they can be posted multiple other places with no issues.

    If you are not a Photoshop user using Photoshop just to resize pictures is a bit of overkill.

    If you are a Windows user I recommend Microsoft's own FREE Windows Power Toys for resizing pictures. It is MUCH quicker than using Photoshop to resize and also FREE!

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../image-resizer

    It is available through the Right-Click menu in Windows Explorer. And it takes all of about a second to resize a picture:

    2022-06-18_094908.jpg

    Not only is it FREE it also does not contain any spyware or addware in the application like most "free" software does.



    I prefer the following configuration which will create a resized image named "[original image name] - Large.jpg"

    Even with resizing and rotating pictures on my workstation they still don't post properly on sawmillcreek a good percentage of the time.

    I’m a hardcore Photoshop user, used it for decades in my work. These days I can’t justify the subscription fee for the latest versions so I bought Photoshop Elements, inexpensive, has most of the functionality, does everything I want.

    There are also free online utilities that resize and compress images. One wood forum recommended https://picresize.com/, quick and simple.

    So if we rout our pics thru a server at 0 lat, 0 longitude will they become unhinged and just spin down the toilet, and which way will they spin?
