Images are upside down

I have images that display correctly in the File Viewer, but display rotated 180 degrees in the Viewer.
What is the reason for this?

Mario

What is "File Viewer" and what is "Viewer" in your post?
What does the EXIF orientation tag say for this image?
Which file format?

I mean the File Window. By Viewer I mean the window that opens when you double-click on the image.
The images are photos in TIF format.
I cannot find an EXIF oriantation.

Mario

If the thumbnail in the File Window has a different orientation that the image in the Viewer, the TIFF may contain a badly oriented preview IMatch used for the thumbnail, or the EXIF orientation info is wrong. Hard to tell without a sample file.

Re-save the TIFF in your image editor. This should solve the problem.

I copied the file and deleted the old one.
Now everything is O.K. again.
Thank you.

I have the same for some jpg files. Must have a look at them again.

Copied the file where? In IMatch?
Copying a file in IMatch just copies the metadata, thumbnail and cache image, nothing is created "new".

If you've copied the files elsewhere and it came into IMatch as a "new" file, thumbnail and cache image are created fresh, too.

If you have another image with this issue, select it in the File Window, press Shift+Ctrl+F5 and select "Force Update".
If there was an issue while reading the file (impossible to know because the log file will be long gone) this should fix it.

No. I copied the file in Windows Explorer. Then I deleted the old one in IMatch and renamed the copy.
