You and Abe copied and saved an image from the interweb. I am posting from the original picture file (or copy of it).
As far as I can establish picture files created on a phone contain a flag as to orientation ( EXIF format). This flag appears to remain irrespective of how the view of the file is manipulated on the phone or in a subsequent copy on another computer. So when I post on AA the flag is recognised by the Asylum software and the image is displayed as it was taken i.e. upside down. Now it is difficult with a phone when taking a picture in landscape format to judge which was is the right way up in regard to the phone's inbuilt convention as to up and down.
So the solution for me when selecting a file reference for the AA message box is to post a picture that was taken the right way up originally (as far as the phone is concerned with its convention as to top and bottom).

OK, but we were just showing you that it is possible to rotate the image and save it for correct viewing. The EXIF tag in the image you uploaded is "top left", meaning no rotation, so if it was something else when you took the picture, it got reset when you edited it (most editors that recognize EXIF would have preference you can set too use it or not). Below is the EXIF info from the picture you posted via the free IrfanView editor I mentioned previously ... your method to change the camera orientation when taking the picture is fine, but I was just trying to show you how to handle it after the fact, regardless of the embedded metadata ...Make - samsung

Yes, thanks for all of your help. I have now found that the picture editor in Win 10 was not saving the corrected file even though he corrected image was stored in some form so that it displayed the right way up at all times even after a reboot. However the actual image file remained as previously i.e. apparently with the orientation flag remaining as originally set.
I have now found that the "Finish" option in the editor does not actually finish the action of editing. The "finished" file then needs to be saved. Simple eh? I mistakenly thought that Finish might mean exactly that.
