How do you change the orientation for photo uploads???

If you double-click the photo, it should open some photo viewer or editor program. Even photo viewer programs include the option to change the orientation, and save the changes. In Windows, or at least in Windows 7, you can even do this directly in Windows Explorer.

The photo is correctly oriented on my computer... it gets flipped upon upload. I've even tried flipping it on my computer, but when I do that it maintains that orientation!!! Basically, everything is oriented as a landscape. This seems to be a Mac issue... it never happened when I was using a PC. I didn't know it there was a way to re-orient after the photo is already uploaded.

Guess you need a proper photo editor on the Mac.

Anyway, after you upload a picture, that's the way it's going to be shown here, unfortunately.

I guess it's this one - that picture is a joy to behold, in whichever orientation!

Mike, I downloaded your image and changed the orientation with Photoshop. No way to do it on the system.

Yes, She's a keeper. Beautiful!

Congratulations!

I probably paid a bit of a premium for it ($4K), but Balance Ks just don't come-up that often. The top really is something else. This was the first BalK done with a Heart Omega.

I kinda liked the pic the other way - looked like it was hanging on me & I was looking down at it.....
Love that top! Is the wood by chance Rippled Satin? I think we need a straight-on close up, no?

She really is beautiful! And so elegant. I'd like to see a straight-on shot, too.

The wood does look like that sample, but my bass predated (2004) the posting in the wood bank (2006). At first I wasn't too crazy about Walnut, but I now have 2 of them (this and my Brown Bass). The figuring can range from subtle to REALLY outrageous.

(In a subdued, awed voice he says) wow.

Maybe it's just my own poor eyesight, but I find it interesting how svelte 4-string balanced K's look when compared to 5'ers. Of course, I love both!

Just out of curiosity, do the knob settings in your picture coincide with the settings you use when you play? At the risk of revealing my own insanity, I think it would be interesting if some of us were mindful of such things when we photograph our instruments. I'm always curious about control settings (and I know that's just one of a multitude of variables in a signal chain, but still...).

Anyway, I love this bass!
