    Windows photo viewer delets photos after rotating.


    There are some hidden photos i was browsing through and i rotated them as i was viewing. after closing photo viewer and seeing the "saving" prompt, those photos disappeared. Any help recovering them would be appreciated as those photos are valued.

    I'm using Win 10.

    After looking at other posts, i can safely say i don't have Mcafee installed.

    The photos in question were already marked as "hidden" and so is the folder.

    :)

    Alternative to Photo Viewer.


    Hi. Windows photo viewer delets photos after rotating. :)

    I am using build 10147 now, and Windows Photo Viewer is not working here as it used to. The new look/appearence of the Photos App is very cool, but is there any third party software that can be an alternative of the good old Windows Photo Viewer?

    I want a program/app that will open a photo from explorer, will provide flip/rotate and delete options, and will shift to the next photo simply. A photo library organizer and integrated photo editor etc are not wanted by me.

    Many thanks for your suggestion. Windows photo viewer delets photos after rotating. :)

    Windows Photo Viewer not a good way to rotate photos, can be lossy


    Though it's now a few weeks after the original post, I'll state this anyway, in case it's of benefit to someone: Windows Photo Viewer is not a good way to rotate photos. If either the height or the width of the picture being rotated are not exactly divisible by 8, Windows Photo Viewer will re-save the pic in jpg format, meaning you lose picture quality, since jpg is a lossy format. Windows Photo Viewer will warn you the first time that you do this on a Windows installation. If you tick the "In the future, do not show this dialog" checkbox, you'll never see the warning again, and would probably soon have forgotten that it still applies.

    Even if your camera's pics all have heights and widths divisible by 8 [for all the pic sizes selectable in the camera's settings], if you crop and save a pic, whether that pic be from your camera or downloaded from the internet, the saved pic might not have height and width cleanly divisible by 8. So you would lose picture definition if you rotated it.

    The preferred solution for many of us is to simply never use Windows Photo Viewer to rotate pics. But if it's the default picfile viewer, it's easy to accidentally click the rotate buttons. So we install a third party freeware program of choice as the default photo viewer. I use Irfanview, which has a Jpg Lossless Rotation feature. Irfanview has both lossless and lossy rotation options, and all programs have a learning curve, so if you adopt this solution be sure to properly study the program help. If you use Irfanview, be sure to download and run the plugins installer after running the main program installer. Also study the program's lossless rotation options, as some of them can remove picture file metadata you'd probably prefer to keep, if not set the way you want.

    These webpages describe some of the issues I've mentioned:

    Lossless rotation of JPEG images - Better JPEG

    This Wikipedia table mentions 'JPEG lossless rotate' in the 'Other functions' column for those programs that are capable of it:

    Happy rotating!
