Pretty....

Did you know the rotation is off on this photo? Among many others from your recent (2-3 months) postings? Some showing up upside-down, some portrait when they should be landscape (like this one)...

It sounds like the program you're using isn't updating the EXIF data.... I wonder if overwriting the edited image using "save as" (rather than "save") & replacing the original (or creating a new file with a diff't name) would do the trick with your program.

I had the issue once with an uploaded photo which I updated (with system included software 'cause edit was minor) rather than overwrote (the latter is my usual procedure). The orientation looked right on the computer, but when I uploaded the photo, I found the orientation was off. I checked the EXIF data and, sure enough, the orientation hadn't updated when I saved the file. I opened the photo up again and did a "save as" instead to create a new file, uploaded the photo again and everything was fine.

Granted, some editing programs are reliable with this and some aren't. I've never had the issue with Photoshop or Corel Painter, but have come across EXIF issues with free or bargain editing software.

If you look at the EXIF data you can see a rotation of 270˙ CW in there, however, it doesn't show anything about the editing software used, which leads me to conclude your software isn't updating EXIF data when you using the "save" option.... It should do so using the "save as" option however, since it then creates a new file with new EXIF info. Try it with this shot and upload the new version to see if that makes a difference.

'Cause the issue is harder to overcome using the rotation feature on a photo site than it is to use "save as" so your editing program creates a new file with current EXIF data. You won't be able to fully correct rotation when the EXIF data has rotation and/or orientation incorrectly recorded.

Unsolicited advice.... Do with it as you please =)

I use still a box software from the millenium change. I am glad it does not divulge so much about it self as all the modern stuff does. Of course it has some downsides, as my pics are often cropped but I forgot how drastic it was a few years later. :o)
I safe my smal 1000 pixel across maximun pics of course always under a new name to keep the big originals too. What I upload is never a DSC##### but something with a propper working title like "21crocus1"in a folder for the walk or the according quarter of a year at home. This sort of saved new pic retains most EXIF from the camera I think. To make a portrait shot load here upright at once it must be either cropped from a landscape original or exported as object into a new image, recroped, merged and safed as new jpg. But then I loose all meaningful EXIF :o(.
Turnig with the arrows on site works well on my end, it might take a few minutes until the change is visible, but in the end it is standing the way I planned on my screen. It is however most important to me to see my real "date taken" along with a tumb here. I do not know how I could do this in my folders. It's easier to find a shot and look up the exact date online than in the windows files. I often use this for comparison, like to say what bloomed or was present a certain day in a certain place last year. This is all I use EXIF normally for, as part of wildlife and wildflower records....
