Jpeg user map loading without proper totation
« on: March 02, 2020, 11:55:04 PM »
I have a jpeg taken with a Sony RX100M2 camera. File properties show the dimensions to be 3648W x 5472H. When I load this file as a user map, it is rendered in TF as rotated by 90 degrees. I then used Windows photo to actually rotate the image, but while the rotated image displays properly in photo and shows the proper width and height when the file properties are displayed, it is still rendered in TF rotated by 90 degrees. I think there is some information in the Jpeg file that the TF image transformation program is ignoring when it imports the file as the orientation I see in TF is what the camera saw. This is a photo of a large blueprint. I am running TF 5.57 on Windows 10 on a Lenovo W530 laptop.
Trying to fix this by doing a 3 point calibration is an incredible pain. I do not see an option in the User Map Library window to rotate the image. Is there a workaround?

Hi,

It must be setting the 'flip' orientation on your jpeg, which indeed TopoFusion seems to be ignoring.  Best workaround I can think of is to load the image in a program like Photoshop or ACDSee and have it rotate the image. 

I do need to have a look if I can easily read that flag.  A flip button in TF is another option that might be useful beyond that, too.  That might be the way to go.

Thanks
