Hi,

when adding a camera image to the add picture component of powerapps via a phone or tablet the image is rotated, however if i add a image file the image is rotated differently.. So i cant really use the rotation or flip options? can we variable or if statment this somehow?

Can this issue be solved? Its a slight annoyance as it makes the apps look tacky.

Thanks in advance

Hello @SomeoneAwesome

Is the rotation/flip direction fixed? Like if the camera is used, it's rotating to 180 degrees and if the image is use, its flipping. If your answer is yes, then you can set the rotation rule on the image property itself.

As for identifying the source of the image, what you can do is add two add-media control, one is explicitly for the Camera and the other is for file uploading. That way you will know which adds the image.

When button is click, you can set variables like?
Camera Button > Set(IsCamera,true);
FileUpload Button > Set(IsCamera,false);

Then on the image be like:
Image Property > If(IsCamera,Camera.Media, FileUpload.Media)
Rotation Property > If(IsCamera, ImageRotation.180, None)

Great! So, using these options http://powerappsguide.com/blog/post/media-how-to-rotate-images-on-screen, I can now rotate the images in a gallery, but it rotates all of them. I have chosen the specific datacard and applied an Icon to each Image. I am seeking to rotate only the selected image.
