Thank you.
Have you tried to rotate after taking picture? This option is described in this post.
What about the size.. It's a social app. That is why squared images preferable. In future release we`ll provide image cropping.
BTW you can see the full-sized image in separate image view screen or in pop-up if you are in Steepshot web.
