The newly redesigned Snapfish gives us another best practice: a sensible rotate tool.

Rather than ask you to try to remember which way is clockwise, or decode some arrows, it simply asks you to chose which side is up.


One you’ve clicked that, you can ask yourself, “is that right” before applying it.


Once it’s been done, you are taken to a page where you can make your next move…

Clear, simple, friendly. (and yes, that’s the Carbon IQ dog, Beau, posing … he’s hardly a puppy anymore!)

    if you don’t turn that dog right side up he’s gonna mess the carpet.

    that rotate tool was designed by Mrs. Gorbet, by the way.

    The only modification i made to it was changing the language. it previously said something like “rotate this way” and i changed it to “set to rotate this way”. the photo doesn’t get rotated until you hit the big yellow “rotate now” button.

    we were getting a lot of users (and me) irritated that you’d hit the “this way up” button and nothing happened.
