I just noticed several of the pictures in the e'gallery are not oriented correctly. They need to be flipped to correct position. Is this how they will look when they are sent?
Hi, David, The photos will
Hi, David, The photos will look exactly as they were submitted.There's no change in orientation on the server side. This means that if a photo uploaded appears portrait when it should be landscape, or vice- versa, it's because the original photo ''as uploaded by the user'' was the wrong orientation. We are unable to flip them once they're loaded; however, this won't affect how we judge the contests!
