Images Rotated in Report

customaware

I have a Report that displays a number of Photos.

I am using ImageMajck to orientate the Portrait and Landscape photos correctly.

I the BO Form they look like this.....

The Photos are stored in the filesystem and when I look at the files at the path location they a oriented correctly.

However, when I add them to a Report the are rotated for some weird reason.... like this....

However, for Portrait mode photos.... it seems fine.... like this...

Would really appreciate if anyone knows what is causing this and if there is any way to resolve it.

TIA.

Gosh - not seen this in a lonnnng time. Are you taking the photos with an old iPhone by any chance?

Time was -when IPhones didn’t add the orientation meta data to their images. Try opening them in something like Gimp and then re-saving and uploading them.

If nothing else it will at least point to where the problem might lie.

Ok... Seems like I have fixed it....

I added -set exif:Orientation 1 to the magik mogrify command and it seems to have corrected the problem.

ie....

EXECUTE PROGRAM 'magick mogrify -set `exif:Orientation` `1`  -format jpg 
C:\TempImage\'+FILE_NAME(PictureItemForAnswers.Picture)+'.'+FILE_EXTENSION(PictureItemForAnswers.Picture)
