Was Photo orientation, Commenting About GIMP

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.

My rain barrels are now quite full.

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 .
