I would post more pictures, but they were taken with my iPhone and like most things under Tim Crook's leadership, simple drag and drop no longer works very well or often. I've discovered that now all my photos are in an .heic format which when trying to use, often turns the photos sideways or crops them and it is a pain to work with. Can we please go back in time to software that "just worked?" I have a 24 year old that works in my office and she assures me this is not "operator error" on my part.
I can't turn back time, but I can help you going forward. If you don't like .heic (I do as they are smaller files and take a ton of pics) you can change it to always take them in JPEG by changing your settings.
Settings -> Camera -> Format and change camera capture to Most Compatible. There are other settings you can adjust there as well if you know more about picture quality than I do!
If you own a mac you can airdrop your pics to your mac, open the .HEIC photos in preview and then go to File->Export and choose JPEG from the drop down next to format. Once that is done you can go back and delete the .HEIC copies. Most of my pics get backed up to our Synology as is and I just do this to the few I actually share out.
