I am happy to provide the images to you if that would help
If I take the affected image and strip off the orientation, its no longer shown correctly as a portrait; i.e. all apps now display the image in the landscape format
>>Thanks for your explanation, so the issue could be explained like this: Thumbnails for portrait images are rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise, correct?
FOR photos taken with an iPhone, that is correct. Photos taken with an android device do not have this issue. I only have iPhone and Android photos to test with. The android photos I have do NOT have the exif field “orientation” on them. All the iPhone photos I have DO have the orientation field and are either “1” – landscape or “6” – portraittheexifer website lists the orientation as: Rotate 90 CW
The meta data viewer on your gallery lists it as: 6The specs from apple state:
1 = Horizontal (normal)
2 = Mirror horizontal
3 = Rotate 180
4 = Mirror vertical
5 = Mirror horizontal and rotate 270 CW
6 = Rotate 90 CW
7 = Mirror horizontal and rotate 90 CW
8 = Rotate 270 CW
Where Rotate 90 CW is “Portrait”

This link shows a partial screen grab of a basic thumbnail gallery. As you can see the thumbnail looks like a portrait thumbnail being displayed in landscape orientation.

This link is what is shown after that landscape thumbnail is clicked. As you can see it is correctly displayed in portrait orientation.
I havent found any combination of settings that will cause the gallery to display affected images with the correct portrait orientation

This issue is perhaps picture specific? I have many portrait photos (taken with an iPhone 6) that NextGen will ONLY create landscape thumbnails for, but when you click the thumbnail, the original photo is shown in portrait orientation.
The landscape thumbnail very much looks like a correctly created portrait orientation image, its just displayed in landscape orientation.
Other photos from the same era created with an android phone do not show this issue.Also seems to work as expected if you set the lightbox to none….
Thanks. I made those changes. Will upload a big bunch of pics in a month or so to test it out.
