Hey there! So I have been running Way of the Wicked and I've hand-drawn maps - the only issue I'm having is orientation. I scan them in and rotate them so their orientation is the same as the book, HOWEVER - when I open them in Fantasy Grounds, the image is not the proper orientation. Not end of the world, just a headache. Does anyone know the fix to this?

Just a screenshot to show what I'm talking about. On the left is the FG Images folder, on the right is in-game.

I'm guessing you rotated them within Windows file explorer and not an actual graphics application? Rotating in file explorer doesn't actually rotate the images, it just tags them as needing to be rotated when displayed. A lot of applications, FG included, don't read that tag and display the native orinetation. Open the maps in a graphics app, rotate them and save them.

Thank you very much Trenloe - opened it in Photoshop (it was oriented correctly in photoshop), saved it under a new name, and it was fine.
