Yes, I have that happen all the time. Some applications look at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format" target="_blank">exif</a> meta-data embeded in the pictures and automatically rotate them. <br>
<br>Try opening the file in Gimp, It should offer to rotate for you. Then you can just save it again.<br>
