All images imported in landscape orientation

Note, I see now that in fact, the proofing gallery is NOT independent of the WordPress media gallery, and any images uploaded by Picu show up there, where I can edit in normal fashion including rotation. It would be nice however if when clicking the ‘edit/upload’ button in Picu if the normal Media Gallery window were displayed to the user with the normal editing functions available without having to switch away from Picu/Collections and then opening Media Gallery to edit each photo.

Hi!

Let’s try to solve this!

• We have not seen this behaviour. When you upload the wrongly oriented images somewhere else, let’s say a blog post, is the orientation correct there?
• picu images should not show up in the media library. We had that happen before, when another plugin interfered with image filtering.
• Can you please provide a link to a collection, where this is happening?
• Also, please go to “picu > Settings > Debug Info” and send us the contents of this page.
• If you do not want to post this information publicly, please use our email address: [email protected].

I ran some tests with other images. It seems the offending images were rotated with Apple Preview.app. Apparently, Preview does not actually rotate the image, but indicates in the EXIF data that it is rotated. Some apps will display it properly, some won’t. (Those that don’t read the EXIF data I presume) I tried opening one of them in GIMP and this is where I discovered this issue. GIMP informed me the EXIF data said it was rotated and I was prompted to actually rotate the image or leave it. I told GIMP to rotate the image, saved it again, and now Picu (and WordPress) import the image in proper portrait orientation.

I don’t mind that the images show up in the gallery as this allows me to correct any issues I didn’t catch before uploading. However, if you are curious as to which plugins might be responsible for this behavior, I’ve included my Debug Info.

Thank you for your assistance!

Glad you found what was causing it!

And thanks for including your debug data anyways. Much appreciated!
