Images appear upside down

In Lightroom, there are 24 images that appear upside-down in the filmstrip as well as the thumbnails. These 24 images are right in the middle of an airshow photo shoot. Images before and after appear right-side-up.



This problem does not exist in Photoshop Elements 4 (or any other image viewer).

If this behavior occurred after you finished importing and before you did anything else. I'd remove the images from LR and then reimport them to see if the behavior repeats itself. If it does LR might be misreading the camera info. Send a bug report to the LR people.



In the meantime go to Grid view highlight the miscreant images and flip them.

What sort of camera? Does it have a sensor inside that allows it to know the orientation of the image? If so, perhaps the roll, pitch or yaw of the camera (pun intended!) was such that this sensor was confused. Of course, if all you were doing was taking pictures of aircraft at rest, with the camera in the normal attitude then this does not necessarily apply.



At any rate, you can check the EXIF data on the images to see what the orientation of the image is /supposed/ to be. If you have the originals, does it look upside down on when viewing in the camera?

Thanks Tim,



It seems your suggestion to bring all the inverted images into the

Grid view and flip them seems to be the simplest and most direct. I tried removing all images from the Library and importing them again--didn't work.



thanks again,

Dick

Camera may have auto rotate function set which gets confused or confuses LR.......

I forgot to ask. Was the airplane upside down when you were shooting at the airshow?



By the way. Was this the airshow where the Blue Angels pilot went down?

It's a reminder that precision flying is not for the faint of heart.
