Image rotate during upload

Hi Ton,

Showtime is not modifying the images orientation. It keeps the original orientation. I guess that your images have incorrect metadata. Display of the image is different on desktop and on your browser. I guess that if you open the original image on your browser it will get displayed exactly the same way as the uploaded image.
In any case, all you have to do is rotate the images on your computer before you upload them.

We will consider adding an image editor to Showtime Image Gallery to allow basic operations like rotation. Until then the only way is to ensure the image orientation is correct before uploading.

No this has nothing to do with the dimensions. Just open the image on your computer and rotate it. Do you have any image editing software? Are you on Windows or Mac ?

There is no need to use Photoshop. Most operating systems allow you to rotate the image without any software. Under Mac it's right click and then "quick actions". There is a similar functionality in Windows.
Finally there are also some online image editors you can use:

We will add for sure editing functionality for Showtime Image Gallery. Currently we are at the process of preparing our extensions for Joomla 4.

Try to open the image on your PC in the browser before you upload it to see it's actual orientation. As I wrote before Showtime does not change the image orientation. Opening the image before uploading on your PC on a browser should give you the same result as after uploading.
If you are using Windows just try to rotate the image using right click. Even if you are viewing the image correctly, rotating twice may fix the metadata and you will not have to use an editor.

Can you please send me a link to the page with the issue and email me the original image which is displayed correctly on your browser? Can you also try a different lightbox from the component settings just in case there is an issue with the one you are using?

Regards

Hi Ton!

I have sent you an email. Just reply and attach the files.

It seems that you are totally right. Under some cases the orientation is lost.
I will try to find a workaround. Until then you can go to component options and disable "Resize originals" and "Watermark" options. This will probably fix the issue.

Regards

Did this fixed your issue? Note that changing the option will not affect the images you have uploaded already.

Thank you for the valuable feedback you have provided on this issue.

Hi Ton,

No, unfortunately not yet. Did you face this issue again?

Regards

Hi Ton,

I just sent you the development version of the extension to your email. It should fix the issue.
If not please let me know.

Regards

Hi Ton,

The first thumbnail is generated by javascript client side that's why it is incorrect until the file is uploaded completely.
Yes, installing the development version over the current one should be fine. Do not uninstall your current version because the component removes it's data when uninstalling.
Please let me know if you find any issues.

Regards
