you talk about align and orienting... do you mean you want to rotate the photo??
if so, there is no way to do that automatically... there is no way to know what the desired rotation of the image is... if the camera is turned 90 deg to take the picture, you may have wanted a landscape... what you really probably want is some sort of image tools that would allow users to rotate images as desired... which as you know, we dont have... can add to the wishlist..
if something other, please elaborate...

Yes what I end up doing is manually editing the post and manually rotating the photo.
Here is an example.
This happens pretty regularly.
As you can see the user took a photo holding his camera in a vertical position, but it was flipped horizontal when he uploaded the photo.
I often receive messages afterwards from users who ask why the photo was flipped, and they request that I please fix it.
When I had my Wordpress coder look into this issue, she replied with...
Unfortunately this request or task of yours is already Out of Scope.
A custom code needs to be added into your site which will be a long one because a lot of process will be considered to achieve the desired output. It seems that you need to hire a PHP developer that will be developing the function for you.
Just figured I would let you guys know. If you can think of a fix it would save me a ton of photo editing time.
Thanks for looking into this! Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ryan

Hey Ryan,
I've noticed in Windows 10 (can't remember if it was an issue in Windows 8) Windows thinks it's a good idea to automatically orientate your photos in file explorer and when looking at them individually in Windows 'Photo' app. Could this be leading you and some of your users to assume the photo is already correctly orientated before uploading?
It might be worth opening one of the affected photos in a decent editor (not MS paint, it might very well do the same thing!) and see if the photo is actually correct or if it's actually on it's side.
I've done a few tests and every time, although the photo looked fine in explorer it was incorrect after uploading. Every photo I manually rotated uploaded just fine. All SP (And WP I believe) does is attach the image that's uploaded, SP definitely doesn't rotate anything.

This is not something I can reproduce either.
At the risk of embarrassing myself and showing my ignorance - I think I am correct in saying that the major image file formats store the actual data - byte for byte - from the top left to the bottom right of an image. Plus there is some header data to tell the image interpreter, amongst other things, the width and height.
Modern digital cameras and smartphones work out the orientation automatically and create the file as required.
When an image file is imported into an app like SP the file uploader takes that header data to ascertain the height, width and size of an image. As Ike said above - it makes no changes to the image unless you have the resize option on which just makes it smaller.
So - if we assume i am right about this - it means that the image being uploaded is actually orientated that way in the original file. This begs the questions what equipment and software was used to take the image, store the image and 'feed' the image to our uploader.
