Thanks, Bryan, My problem is that many of my pictures are turned the wrong way. I think it is because I wasn't holding my camera phone upright when I took the picture. Now I tried turning the photo in the folder before I add it to my listing, but when it loads to the listing it is in the original position!
When I first saw that I thought I had made a mistake, so I tried again and the same thing happened. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to take all of the pictures over again ::shrug:: I sure hope there is a solution besides retaking them. Thanks

What kind of phone are you using? You likely have built in tools that enable you to manipulate images. You may have a rotate tool & I think the crop tool on most phones reorients images to play nice with AAPK (even if not much if anything is cropped)...

It's been my experience that nothing has to be cropped, just run it through the crop tool and leave it full size. At least that's what works for me on my phone (LG on Verizon).

Jerry,

You, sir, I believe, could come out of retirement & start working in the tech sector if ever so inclined ::tu:: :D

Bryan, the tech sector left me in the dust within a year of my retirement. I can still find my ::censored:: with both hands now and then but not consistently and only in bright sunshine.

I’m using an iPhone and can’t get photos to transfer to the website. When I click on add images and select an image it doesn’t go to the box where I can upload it. Any suggestions?

I take pictures with my phone. I transfer the pictures to my desktop PC. The PC has more tools to rotate, crop, etc. in addition to a larger and clearer picture. I store the pictures in a file in the C drive where I have more storage than on the phone. The pictures are transferred to AAPK from the PC. When I rotate a picture on the PC and save the change, the rotation will stay the way I want it to be on the AAPK listing. All transfers are with a hard wire. Some would say that this is a lot of work but it works for me. My pictures show superbly.
