1310464 2012-11-04 19:59:00 Win8's photo viewer doesn't allow me to do some basic editing like rotating, etc.

Is there any other built-in program in Win8 can perform better?

Cheers

1310465 2012-11-04 20:05:00 Right mouse on a photo and select open with / choose default program, then select windows photo viewer instead. Or you can right mouse on a photo and right mouse, then select rotate left or right Speedy Gonzales (78)
1310466 2012-11-04 20:21:00 Right-clicked a photo doesn't allow me rotate - it's greyed. The 'play slide show' function doesn't work, too.

It's really a downgrade ver of Win7.

There's no way it can compete with Picasa so this thing is pretty irrelevant to me.

1310470 2012-11-04 22:05:00 Picasa's improved "out of sight", now. As well.

Although photographers are generally a bit sceptical. But for basic tweaks - it's fine.

Yes a very good program and I am happy to say it works well under Wine.:thumbs:
