I had th3 same thing happen with one image. It was rotated sideways. I ended up deleting (removing) the asset. Renaming it and then reloading it to assets. Then it was okay.
Open it in photoshop or similar. Rotate it and put it back how you want it. Resave as new file (important) renamed.
You may need to Delete that block and bric. Save and Close Blocs after deleting asset. Upload the new renamed resaved image. It should work.
Not that you should have to do this but glitchy things can often be fixed following these steps.
If it doesn’t…either way Norm needs to look at it.
That photo was probably taken on an iPhone right?
When photos are taken and the phone is up side down that photo exif data gets a tag that it should be displayed 180 degree.
That exif isn’t read by all apps.
No…at least I don’t know about his but mine were not.
The exit info could be being misread however. In my case I had this occur several times with different images. Original orientation should not effect the code.
Just about everything can be edited there. You will see the various different info links to go through.
For some data you can use an “EXIF editing tool” to completely remove all info or leave what you want.
I add certain meta data for SEO, Copyright, Website info, etc. and delete other ancillary info. Some info like RBG profiles or other items can be left in certain instances.
@HMM this is very useful to know - however i’m getting the same issue with images not holding the correct orientation and whilst camera data is visible, nowhere can I see how to edit file orientation thus my images remain landscape when they should be portrait, or upside down etc etc. Any other insight?
cheers

Drop the images into ImageOptim and that has always stripped out unnecessary crap like that. Also an extremely good PNG optimiser for web images that everyone should have.
Hey @webdeersign Just feeding back - been using imageOptim for a few days now - works a treat. Absolutely perfect. Thanks for that.
It has saved me no end of time dropping in batches of images that i need to optimise, and imageOptim strips the exif and reduces filesize in a flash.
Are you aware of any tools for batch processing of image resolution?? I’m currently emailing myself the images i need and Apple Mail does a nice job of compressing them down to a sensible size, at which point i save the attachments back to my machine, drop in to ImageOptim to squeeze JPEG further, and then i’me ready to host really lightweight / low bandwidth images that are literally perfect for the type of site i’m building (and others i will likely work on).
@Norm an opensource tool like ImageOptim would be great wrapped in to Blocs. If you could combine that with some kind of image resolution mod you’d have the ultimate Asset Manager. One for the wishlist?
