Hello, Ive been uploading some photos, and every now and then a photo will not upload correctly. For instance last night I was uploading 3 photos. 2 of them uploaded correctly and one uploaded inverted. It was not the last one I uploaded either. They were all jpegs that are not inverted on my computer. Advise?
You'll need to upload it from your computer, not somewhere it's already been uploaded online, by using the 'Choose File' button, then hit 'View image from file'.
I'd be interested to know if the image shows correctly there, or if it's also inverted.
There's also a number of tables below the photo, the first of which, labelled 'EXIF', should have an Orientation entry. I'd be interested to know what it says next to this.
Can I ask you to upload the original to the http://regex.info/exif.cgi site again, and tell me what it says next to 'Color Encoding' (to the left of the photo display)

@louienumber4 OK, so that's the problem -- the photo is using an CMYK colour profile, which is stripped by this site, causing the colour data in the image file to be misinterpreted.
For web use you should always use sRGB, otherwise you will experience problems like this where the colours you see on your local machine don't match how they appear on the web. (In this case, the difference is huge!)
A CMYK colour profile is a very odd one indeed to have been introduced accidentally. It must have been introduced somewhere in your workflow -- what software do you use to process your photographs?
If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, you can fix the image by doing the following:
Photoshop: Load the image, go to the Edit menu, choose 'Convert to Profile', and select 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' in the destination space box. Click OK, and then save the image as a new JPEG.
Photoshop Elements: Load the image, go to the Image menu, choose 'Convert Color Profile' and then choose 'Convert to sRGB profile'. Save the image as a new JPEG.
When you upload the new JPEG, that will display correctly.
However, you will probably want to try and identify where the CMYK colour profile is being introduced in your workflow, and stop it. Images with strange profiles like that will not only display incorrectly on the web, but may not be printed correctly either, especially by cheap printing companies and printing booths.

Can you upload the image to the following site:

@abirkill
Is that not how it displays for you, or is the intention for the handles to be at the bottom?
Edit: Hold on, when you say inverted, you don't mean upside down, do you! You mean a negative image! D'oh!
