Photos - fix for rotation issues (landscape vs. portrait)

If I am in landscape mode on the iPad and I decide I want to take a screenshot the resultant picture is only found as a portrait. So my new picture is rotated 90 degrees. This seems especially silly if I want to take a screenshot while in keynote since the only way to use keynote is in landscape orientation.

Am I missing something? If I take a screenshot in landscape it should be found as a landscape picture in apples photo app. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I agree, it is a bug. When find I stuff like this I go here and report it.
Apple - Feedback
I have already reported this issue but it wouldn't hurt if you did as well. The more they hear about an issue the more likely they are to fix it .

 

Thanks everyone for looking into this.

That is correct. When I am in landscape mode and take a screen shot by hitting the home key and the power key, the picture ends up being in portrait and not in landscape.

Thanks!

Mine ends up in landscape if I take it that way and portrait if I take it dat way

 

Nope but I'm about to buy it real quick just to see brb with my results

 

All apps

It actually occurs in all apps not just keynote.

I am confused rob, you mention that it works for you but then you say you are going out to buy one....?

 

Hello board!

I definitely encourage every iPad owner to submit feedback on this issue. It is quite frustrating when one is trying to review apps or write documentation.

If you're still unclear as to what the problem is, I've tried to explain it at the link below with a screenshot.
