Sorry, yes, it’s orientation not technically “skew”. It’s just the term my researcher and I have been using. Clearly incorrectly ; )-
It’s fun tho, right? The image being oriented differently in each instance. I thought so. If it’s gonna go wrong, go wrong in a fun and interesting way…
Hi, @ACWadmin1 !
Quick update on this one: the original media asset uploaded was sideways (I was almost tempted to say skewed haha). Looks to be that the encounter media gallery on the encounter page correctly interpreted EXIF data on the photo saying that it was sideways, whereas the iaResults page did not.
I’m testing it out currently by stripping the EXIF data, rotating the photo, and then resubmitting. There’s a pretty massive bulk import going on currently, so hopefully we’ll have some results … at some point lol.
I’ll update you then!
Cheers,
MF
Ok! I’m happy to report that stripping the EXIF data, rotating, and re-submitting has the correct image orientation for both the encounter image and for the one seen when matching in the iaResults.jsp page: Wildbook for Carnivores.
Hi @MarkF - that’s really helpful, thank you. Definitely solved as much as it can be - I haven’t been reviewing the photos before upload so far bec they are supposed to have been previously curated. Clearly some issues got missed so I guess I’ll have to review all photos going forward, prior to upload. Fun!
Oh no! I find myself wondering whether just seeing what goes wrong with which images might actually be less work than pre-screening. In any case, I’m glad to hear this helped!
