" GIMP is a very complex open-source image editing program"

IrfanView is a simple easy to use image viewer, editor, organiser and
converter program for Microsoft Windows. It can also play video and audio
files, and has some image creation and painting capabilities. IrfanView is
free for non-commercial use.

I use GIMP. It is capable of more than what I do with it, but is
excellent for what I do manage to do. As Leo says it politely suggests
correcting orientation. Rotate and crop a slightly to somewhat more
tilted image. I find it excellent for resizing images to any desired
smaller size. Embed a copyright notice - or any text for that matter.
Lighten a somewhat dark image.

Another forum I belong to has issues with photo orientation. I suspect

newer phones aren't recording orientation data strictly according to the
standards.

One workaround is to first, before uploading the photo, open it in an

image editor. When I was imprisoned in Windows I used the built-in Windows
image editor; now I use Linux and GIMP. GIMP recognizes incorrect
orientation information and offers to correct it. If not using GIMP, rotate
the photo 90 degrees in any direction. Save the file and close. Reopen the
file, rotate to the proper orientation, save and close. It will upload
correctly oriented.

GIMP is a very complex open-source image editing program. It is

available for most operating systems at gimp.org .
