Windows 10: Photo preview/view problems: shows all images, not current selection

I am having problems with my photo images, specifically serious problems regarding trying to preview or view only selected images from a single folder.

Before I upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7, on both XP and Win 7, I was able to control-select photos, right-click and use Preview in Window Photo Viewer to preview the selected photos only, navigating between them using the arrow buttons. (The open command was set to Paint Shop Pro 8.)

I have managed to get to the point where I can at least, preview photos using WPV with "open with" (having set PSP8 to the default app). However, whether I use WPV or the photo app, the left/right scroll options navigate through the entire contents of the folder, instead of just the selected images.

Given that I specifically used this feature to compare photographs so that I could delete duplicates and assess whether one image was better than another, this is rather frustrating. It means that, at current, the only way to do that is to open a seperate instance of each photo in a seperate window, instead of being able to scroll through those images.

Case in point, I have two images Centurion shotkalaelf 01.jpg and Centurion shotkalaelf 04.jpg. I want to be able to examine both to see if they are identical. Before, I could just control-select both, right-click and hit preview, and then could scroll backwards and forwards between the two pictures. (And "open" would open both images in PSP 8.)

Now, if I right-click "open with" using either Windows Photos Viewer or the new photo app, it opens one window trying to use the arrows merely skips to the next image in the folder, instead of the selected photo.

(In fact, having closed and opened Explorer, now it won't bring up "open with" at ALL if I control-select more than one image.)



What do I do to remedy this issue? If it requires having to download a third-party utility image viewer, that's fine; I just need SOMETHING that will let me control-select to preview/view pictures and navigate between them without having to open a window for every one.

Camera app need instruction or a video please

Hi JudyBurr,

The best way to view all your photos in Windows 10 is in the Photos app.

After you take a picture with the Camera and you click the little preview image to view that picture, you'll see a button that says either "View collection" or "View all photos." This button opens the Photos app, where you can see all your photos (we call
this your "collection"), organized by date, album, or folder.

If you'd like to see a video that shows you all you can do in the Photos app, go to the Start menu, type "Get Started" and open the Get Started app. In that app, select Apps and Store, and then select "See all your photos."

I hope this helps!

Photo Thumbnails go blank

Hi, When in go to photos (jpegs) the thumbnails in preview are all white boxes. The details of the title are still there but no preview image. Even more weird is if i change the view to list and then back to say large icon the preview shows but one by
one they fade to white like a domino effect. Really frustrating.

Thanks
