Image Upload in Portrait

[bondicoffee]

I need to upload the picture as portrait.
In Picture Type attribute, When I uploading portrait image, the image gets rotated and saved as landscape.
Does any one have solution to this issue?
Thanks

This is a browser issue for some types of images (jpeg, I think). Please Google for a solution - it's not an Aware IM problem.

When a portrait photo is taken using a mobile device, the EXIF data of the image shows orientation:90 whereas for a landscape photo the orientation is 0 , which means a portrait photo is landscape with 90 degree rotation information embedded in it.


As a result, while uploading image in awareim, I believe aware js/kendo js doesn’t interpret this EXIF data of image.

Is there any way or a command in script that can read the EXIF data of image so that we can disable/remove orientation of portrait image ?

No, this is not a Kendo UI issue - it has nothing to do with Kendo UI. Images are shown as HTML by the browser. You can see that in the browser HTML/CSS inspector, which will show how the BROWSER interprets the original image - it interprets it wrong.

Hey Bondicoffee - did you find a solution for this? we're getting a bunch of tickets for the same issue, thanks.

support is correct its not Aware issue or kendo.

its a browser issue and i think on IOS only

We have user tickets, with screen shots of an Image sitting in Windows Explorer with correct orientation, then they upload to Aware system and it is sideways. Does anyone know of a solution/workaround?

BUMP

now an issue for me too

Pics this morning were taken Portait on a cell phone.
Uploaded using Multi Upload and stored in database table Photos.
A function was calculating and storing Height & Width in the Photos table.
Data shows 4000 WIDE, and 3000 high ---- which means its been rotated, because Portrait should be 4000 HIGH, not wide.

I took a pic on iPad, uploaded it, I can see IN THE LOG the Height/Width get calculated and the image is already rotated.
It gets stored in BOTH the database AND the filesystem "incorrectly".

Hey

Not sure if this will help but it depends on the orientation of the phone. I struggled with this as well so I did the following.

You can use a tool called ImageMagick to rotate the image any way you want. I just added a button for the user that says "Rotate" and they can hit the button until they are satisfied. (turns it 90' right every time) . This is not an AwareIM problem but at least this solved my issue. You can probably run a check to calculate the WxH and then automatically rotate it....

See my process code below for reference. Hope it helps

EXPORT DOCUMENT BO.Photo TO FILE 'c:\Conversions\photo.jpg'
EXECUTE PROGRAM 'c:\Conversions\IM\magick.exe c:\Conversions\photo.jpg -rotate 90 c:\Conversions\photo1.jpg'
IMPORT DOCUMENT BO.Photo FROM 'c:\Conversions\photo1.jpg'
DELETE FILE 'c:\Conversions\photo1.jpg'
DELETE FILE 'c:\Conversions\photo.jpg'

Was able to rotate it "in place" with no issue.
And because I'm storing in the file system, I don't need to re-IMPORT.
Only issue is that the Browser has cached the un-rotated image, and because the filename hasn't changed, it doesn't show the updated image.
