Tracing image rotated

When I import an image, it is often rotated, even though the original image is oriented correctly in Photoshop. This is a minor annoyance. However, for a tracing image, it is also rotated, and I can't seem to adjust it. I do appreciate that the tracing image is resized to fit on the stage, but is there any way to get around the rotation problem or should I just forget about the tracing image feature and import the image straight, resize it, rotate it, and delete it when I'm done with it?

I've never seen this happen. Was the image rotated in Photoshop in some way that is unsupported by Moho?
Tracing image is an older feature. Most people just import the image normally and enable View>Fade Unselected Layers.

I just took a photo of the image with my phone, imported it with DropBox, and opened it in Moho. It is a jpg. I didn't actually open Photoshop at all, but then I saw it was rotated, so I opened it in Photoshop to fix it because I couldn't rotate the tracing image, and saw it was oriented correctly already. I'm fine with just importing the image regularly, but I still have to rotate it manually.

Presumably you've checked the Z rotation?

Pics, especially those from phones, have a habit of rotating themselves different in different programs, because the orientation info is written or read incorrectly. To really be sure select everything in Photoshop, copy, and paste in a new document.
