How To Align Your Photos Correctly | Digital Photo Frames | Exif Data
194Align Your Digital Photos Correctly
This video will show you how to fix those annoying flipped or turned photos on your digital photo frames, smart phone, tablet and computer.
I explain IN DETAIL how EXIF Data works, orientation values and show real-world examples.
EXIF data is a little confusing but I make every effort to explain it in simple and easy to understand terms so that all your photos will appear as they are supposed to and in the correct orientation.
See the charts and links below. I've also included time stamps so you can skip to the part you need.

NOTE: Values with "*" are uncommon since they represent "flipped" orientations.
EXIF ORIENTATION VALUES IN LAYMAN'S TERMS (MY WORK):
1 (Default, normal orientation)
2 (Uncommon - flipped horizontally)*
3 (Rotated Right 180° or flipped vertically then flipped horizontally)
4 (Uncommon - flipped vertically)*
5 (Uncommon - rotated left 90° then flipped vertically)*
6 (Rotated right 90°)
7 (Uncommon - rotated right 90° then flipped vertically)*
8 (Rotated left 90°)
