I've noticed as I created journals, that I have a terrible time getting a photo that will work for the title page and the thumbnail. After I pick a photo of sufficient quality, almost always when I upload it, it's upside down. 

I think this happens because I am left handed and hold my phone 'wrong'. I have tried to be tricky and rotate the photo upside down on my phone using the edit feature before uploading it, but that doesn't work.

I just changed the photo on the title page (thank you Janice for the photo loan). I had to reject five scenery photos of my own before loading a photo of Jacinto that (I presume) a right handed person took. I felt sad, because I had some great Going to the Sun Road photos.

Does anyone else have this problem?

That’s very strange.  I’ve never experienced anything like this.

This is definitely a thing. The CycleBlaze editor automatically reorients all uploaded photos to give them consistent rotation, but the title image and thumbnail components live outside the editor, and those images pass through a different flow. Apparently they aren't going through the same checks. I'm not sure how complex the fix will be, but I'll investigate!

thank you for checking this out Jeff. I don’t create that many journals, but surely there are some other left handed CBer’s out there. It’s validating to know this is a real problem and not operator error!

Kelly … I am a left handed cyclist as well but I haven’t seen that issue.  Don’t quite understand what you mean by holding your phone “wrong.”

I’m left handed, so I hold the bottom of the phone to the left. I just handed my phone to Jacinto, and told him to hold it like he’s taking a photo. He held the bottom of the phone to the right. 

It’s only a problem when creating a journal,  and doing the title photo/thumbnail photo. 

I remember hitting this problem on a different service, maybe Strava, saving a profile picture. I'm left-handed as well. I THINK I remember ultimately getting around it by editing the photo with Google Photos, making some small arbitrary change, and then saving it as a copy, rather than saving the original. It seemed like that copy behaved itself when uploaded.

I've since gotten into the habit of taking landscape photos the right-handed way (just like I've adapted to using right-handed scissors).

I'm also left handed, but film cameras thoroughly conditioned me to press the  shutter button with my right hand.

I'm right handed. It happens to me consistently. Just posted a journal with this problem this evening.

Ok. I took one of my pictures and cropped it ever so lightly. Then I saved it under a different name. And it imported to Cycleblaze without a problem. Good thing because I was getting a headache from standing on my head to see the original images I used.
