I've been admiring some photos posted by member Rembo11, who notes that he uses a program called Postworkshop. I checked out their website

http://postworkshop.net/ 

& the program looked interesting to me. I saw that they offer a Basic edition (800x800 max output resolution & limited number of styles) for free, so I downloaded it. I ran into a problem with it right off the bat & none of their tutorials seemed to address it. I would ask Rembo11, but he is Hungarian with limited English & I think he would probably have trouble understanding my problem, so I'm hoping some other photographer here has used the program & can help me.

When I load a photo, it doesn't recognize that it is portrait format & loads it rotated 90 degrees (landscape). There are some Image Properties controls in the program for rotating the image, but when I apply it, it stretches the image in a weird way & leaves white bands on the sides (kind of like a 4:3 tv image on a widescreen). I've tried all kinds of things to make this work & can't get past it. Either I'm missing something really obvious or something well hidden. Can anybody help me with this?
