It's the same process on a phone or computer; you don't want to take a screenshot or crop it as that will result in loss of quality. Just select 'edit' on the pic, rotate as desired, save, post.

Unless the pic is not yours.

Not sure what you mean, I can rotate any pic any way I desire.

Nah, there is a bug somewhere. The site thinks you're uploading a straight up pic and it appears sideways. Then if you actually rotate the picture back to the direction you want, it loads it sideways anyway.

It's not a bug, the picture has the incorrect orientation. Trust me, I've been doing this for years.

I work in IT too - I'm not making it up. iPhone pictures can and do get jacked up.

Didn't say you were making anything up. If a photo doesn't display its orientation correctly it's because the viewing device cannot read the pictures orientation correctly and so it displays it incorrectly.

I took the picture on my phone and uploaded to the site from my phone. I have alao tried flipping it, even with your instructions, and dont see where it gives me the ability to do so (Im on a Galaxy S22).

That is if its not orientated correctly on my phone. The picture is orientated correctly on the phone but when I upload it is when it flips.

Yes, that's because the phone probably uses proprietary metadata embedded in the pic for its orientation but when it's uploaded to the cloud servers, they aren't able to read it, so they just use a default. You can rotate and save it by trial and error until you get it right or upload to a computer, rotate it and then upload. Either way it's a PIA.

Yes, but excluded screenshots.

If you are trying to rotate a pic on your phone from the interwebz you need to save it to your phone first. A screenshot is editing a pic locally which is why you can also do that but as mentioned not recommended if you want to avoid transcoding and loss of quality.

I passed by two Hyundai's in primer grey today on the way home from work. Too many cars doing that flat grey look. I know technically it's metallic but boy is it subtle.

The Hyundai and Kia "flat" grey are more in the middle between BG and Nardo. Hyundai's, Kia's and Nardo are all better than ZB.

The metallic on the BG is a super fine flake and creamy and in most light sources and angles is barely noticeable or not noticeable at all.

It's def darker than BG for sure. Was just making a general point about that look. I really feel for those Nardo Grey folks...man that's rough with all the knockoffs.

"BG looks like primer."
"ZB is for girly men."
"TR is more like faded orange."
"BSM will be impossible to keep clean."
"AW is so boring."

Can I get this BimmerPost mantra printed on a t-shirt??
