Originally noted in the community here: https://community.kobotoolbox.org/t/port…rait-photos-imported-through-kobocollect-are-sideways-bug-report/17435/3 ## Method to reproduce (from original post) 1. Create a simple form containing a photo uploader 1. Using KoBoCollect, take a photo on a device that produces an EXIF Orientation tag for portrait photos and upload it via the form 1. Download the photo from KoBoToolbox and render on any system that understands EXIF Orientation. (This includes the standard thumbnail and picture viewers in Windows 10 File Explorer.) 1. Notice that landscape photos render correctly, but portrait photos are sideways 1. Contrast with same photo source, with the photo file copied directly to the renderer (Windows 10 File Explorer, for example), where portrait photos are displayed vertical as expected
