Vertical photos showing up upside down on my hard drive

Good evening,
I just returned from a trip and transferred my photos to my computer. A few of them are vertical; I made sure to rotate them and save them before transferring them to my hard drive.
When I view my photos on my television, the vertical ones are upside down and the horizontal ones are the right way up. Can you tell me how to ensure that I can view all the photos correctly?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Henuni,
Thank you for your reply.
I confirm that the vertical photos from the hard drive are all in the wrong orientation. The slideshow on my computer has no issues, but the slideshow on my TV with the same photos from the hard drive does have problems.
My TV is very new (less than 6 months old).
Do you have a solution?
Thank you.

How do you play them on your TV? A CD, a USB stick??? Otherwise, re-record them backwards on your PC and USB stick, the vertical ones, and play them on TV again, hopefully they're the right way up!

Hello,

I think it's coming from the recording with the software, but I'm not sure.
The same goes for Picture Manager from the Office suite, when viewing the photos, they are corrected in sequence and not independently??? And saved of course.
Curious???
Also with Photoshop...
Which viewing software do you work with?

See you later!

You took care to rotate them, etc. And if you check them now on your hard drive, are they in the right orientation?

Otherwise, it’s possible that it’s your TV that is adjusting. The vertical photo, being taller than wide, would rotate it to see it in a more "expanded" format.

Hello,

in the EXIF data (created by your device) of your file, there is an orientation field that allows applications reading the EXIF data to know if your framing is vertical or horizontal. I think that in your case, your television does not read the EXIF data and therefore displays all your photos in horizontal.

Note: be careful with manual rotations if your images are in jpg, as each time you make a rotation, your file is re-saved (in jpg format) and you therefore have data loss. If possible, avoid manual rotation on jpg and prefer to view the files with applications dedicated to photo viewing (which can read EXIF and will orient your files correctly). If you cannot do otherwise, rotate a copy and not the original file.
