No matter how I rotate the picture file, it imports into sketchup sideways. Also, as soon as I leave the matched photo view, it’s impossible to get the picture back. It just disappears forever. ---

Ho are you going about rotating the image? Can you share it? ---

I’ve tried rotating in the file explorer and opening the picture in multiple external editing software and resaving it. ---

File Explorer won’t actually modify the image. What happens if you open it in an editor, rotate it, and then save as a new file? If you can share the image we can take a look and see if we get the same result and perhaps track down the issue. ---

Here is what my matched photo looks like if I change to another scene and then go back to try to edit: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/1/5/15ef264f5475e335a14eb98e0c85bb6772f52954.png) ---

It seems to work ok. Posting in the forum may have effectively made it be a new saved version of the image. [matchphoto.skp](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/72GQqKFuKgVBCC0Wkeu5jwWjYpd.skp) (230.8 KB) ---

Do you by any chance have a style that has Match Photo background turned off? You can control that with Styles. Look for these check boxes. (This is Mac. Windows will look a little different) ![Screen Shot 2022-08-30 at 12.46.25 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/5/f/5f1a670c8f0fac6e1dbd87ed8f59965788b27ce8.png) ---
