Yo. This post isn’t really representative of my blog, which, evaluated in its entirety, is this, like, totally beautiful and organic thing. So click the big words at the top and check out some other stuff while you’re reading about how much it sucks Tumblr doesn’t let you rotate photos. Now, the original post:
I really wish Tumblr would get its shit together and create a ‘rotate photo’ function. No, I don’t have Photoshop anymore, and Preview and iPhoto won’t read a portrait-aligned photo as horizontal if, say, its metadata indicates it was taken portrait because Canon cameras have accelerometers for exactly this purpose. There’s no rotating to do to make the photo display correctly on a Mac, because Finder, Preview and all the other built-in image viewers already read the image the right way. But upload the thing to Tumblr or Daily Booth and it’s a different story.
Which means that every time I want to post a portrait-aligned photo, I have to host it on a site where I can rotate it first. Or rotate it on that site, download it back to my computer, and post it on Tumblr.
Insanity.
Oh, this is Massimo at play practice. That’s his costume in act one. He’s playing a stage technician. DO NOT MISS THIS PLAY.
