Why do photos come into container upside down?

[Pat]

I'm testing a file I'm building where I have a button to import a picture into a field. On one hand, it works. That is, a picture ends up in the field. However, it is upside down. The photo was taken with a Canon camera. I also have a script to import a screenshot into a field, and that works without inverting. Both are in jpg format.

 

Does anyone know why this happens? And, how to fix it?

 

Thank you.

I have not experienced this. Have you checked the originals?

These are what downloaded from the camera. When you highlight the picture in the finder window, the thumbnail looks fine and right side up. I know it has happened to me before when I went to upload a picture to facebook, only I think it came out sideways on that occasion. I thought maybe it was peculiar to Canon cameras.

I'm lost on what is happening, and maybe someone else knows the answer. I think we need more information on your setup.

 

Is this a new or a migrated file? If migrated, from where and when?

 

 

Are the files being served or s single single user? 

Camera model or type (SLR, digital, etc?).

Do you use iPhoto, Aperture, PhotoShop in the process?

if so, are they orientated correctly in the other apps?

Are you inserting directly or referencing them.

Are you Inserting directly into the container field from the camera, or Macintosh HD,

Okay, here is more info.

 

It is a new file, single-user file.

Photos are from a digital camera.

Photos have just been downloaded to my hard drive, nothing else has been done to them.

When I open them in iPhoto (just to look, not alter), they are oriented correctly.

I was inserting them directly, not referencing, coming from my hard drive on the iMac.

 

It makes no sense to me, hence my coming here for smarter people than I on these matters!
