I made a photo with my Samsung phone and:   The orientation is good when displayed on the phone The orientation is good when displayed in Picasa (this means the JPG files contains the right orientation metadata!)      The orientation is wrong when displayed in Windows 7 Explorer thumbnail:      The orientation is wrong when displayed in Windows 7 Image viewer:     One solution could be to "forget about Windows 7's built-in image viewer", and use another better image viewer, but I don't want this.   I would like to permanently rewrite the JPG files (and overwrite them) with the new good orientation, in bulk for hundreds of JPG files, i.e. like if I clicked manually hundreds of times on these buttons when viewing the images one after another:    but automatically, with a script.  How to do this?  Note: I know it might not be lossless, but still I would like a permanent rotation so that the default Windows 7 image viewer see them with the good orientation.  Note 2: , available for download.

When I make pictures with my camera (Olympus E-520), in the EXIF data the orientation is stored.  The standard image viewer on Ubuntu is displaying this images correctly. Windows viewer however not.  Is there a way to really rotate this images (if necessary according to EXIF) in a batch on Ubuntu? For example with an ImageMagick tool?

I have this problem on two of my new laptops and can't seem to find a decent workable solution elsewhere in forum land. The problem is that on my Windows 7 Professional machines the right mouse button doesn't show the New Folder option and elsewhere as well (via Explorer) I'm unable to create new folders.   I'll be happy to get this tiny problem resolved and declare that Windows 7 is almost perfect! Thanks to all of you in advance for your contribution!  PS: None of the Vista solutions seem to work here!      Tried NewFolderFix.reg, didn't work - "Not all data was succesfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes."  Converted FolderFix.reg to .inf file and that worked.  Don't recall the problem appearing after an update.  MS answer to the explore process hanging (KB 972685) was to install the latest Visual C++ Update (vcredist.exe).  Nope. That didn't help either.  I haven't touched Silverlight since installation when Windows 7 hit the shelves. I tortured the RC installation before that, and never had problems there either.    UPDATE-  Logged back into Administrator account, still missing from there. Spent a bit more time looking instead of just fixing. Just yto make sure, logged back into my user account - still OK there.  Turns out the entries in HKCR\CLSID were the culprit here. Reg file wouldn't take again (as above) but inf file fixed it. This key was unable to be entered from regfile, or altered or deleted in Regedit (Permissions).   Don't quite understand why a common key in HKCR needed to be entered separately for each user.   Here is the file I used to fix it. Just copy into notepad, save as newfolderfix.inf, rt-click and select Install  ================================================================  [Version]  Signature=$Windows NT$  [DefaultInstall]  AddReg     =REGEntries.AddReg  [REGEntries.AddReg]  HKCR,"%String0%",,0x0,"CLSID_ExecuteFolder"  HKCR,"%String0%\InProcServer32",,0x0,"ExplorerFrame.dll"  HKCR,"%String0%\InProcServer32","ThreadingModel",0x0,"Apartment"   [Strings]  String0 = "CLSID\{11dbb47c-a525-400b-9e80-a54615a090c0}"  =============================================================   Thanks to others who helped point me in the right direction.

I have a Canon 1100D and I started taking pictures in the RAW+JPG mode. For some reason when I open my files on my PC I see 2 files, but both of them are JPG (they even have the same size). What is the problem and where is the RAW file?

I have a strange issue with Windows 10  When I open .nef files they load fine. However after a second or two the contrast changes noticeably. I tried Windows 10 Photos and Picasa Image Viewer.   What am I trying to accomplish? I just want to open files quickly to check for focus and composition before importing into Lightroom  Lightroom does not have this issue   Here is the example opening with Windows 10 Photos    And here is after a second when it 'fully' loads    Picasa Photo Viewer after it loads a bit. It initially opens fine but then it goes all purple

I'd like to change the style of our Windows Mobile application to follow the Modern UI style (as in Windows 8 or Windows Phone 7). While there are excellent guidelines for layout, fonts and sizes, I'm not able to find suitable icons to use in our toolbar (little images showing the state of the network or the battery). Those are the flaws of the icon packs I already found:   Usually there are just one or two battery icons, whereas I need several to indicate the different states The icons get very blurry when resized to 16x16 pixels (even for vector graphics) A lot of icon sets contain gradients, shadows or gray pixels Most of the icon sets contain only a hundred to five hundred icons   If you have a look at the , they're very clear and sharp. I already know , but the icons get very blurry when resized to 16x16 pixels as well. Currently we're using the icons from , but they don't provide suitable icons for Modern UI applications.  So my question is basically: Where can I find professional, high-quality icon packs with a lot of different icons (either PNG or vector graphics)? They don't have to be free, but must be allowed to be used for commercial applications. What are the major icons vendors and what platforms are available to obtain icon packs from?

I've installed the default VLC player to decode my .mp4 files but I'd like to enable a thumbnail view in the explorer. All I see at the moment is the traffic cone (the default icon for files associated with VLC).   Possibly related are these Windows 7 questions, but I'm not sure what carries over:

I have an image with two points, aligned something like this:  |----------------| |                | |    .           | |                | |          .     | |                | |----------------|   I have both X, Y coordinates for both points and I need to rotate the image X degrees so it looks like this instead:  |----------------| |                | |                | |    .     .     | |                | |                | |----------------|   Basically so they align next to eachother, what's the math for this? (A code example in C# would be even better but not required)

Recently, my family had some professional photos taken while vacationing at a resort.  The photos were given to us on CD in both .CR2 and .jpg formats.  While we can view the JPEG-format versions of the photos just fine, they had some effect and color filters applied which we'd rather not have for some prints.  Consequently, I'd like to open the .CR2 files myself to get at the original unmodified photos.  I don't own a recent Canon camera, so I don't have the corresponding Canon software that undoubtedly ships with their RAW-capable cameras.  I tried Corel Paint Shop Pro X2, but it didn't recognize the .CR2 files.  So, what is a cheap or free tool to view and convert .CR2 photos on Windows?  Note: I don't want to buy Adobe Photoshop.  I trust it would work, but I'm seeking a cheap or free solution, at this point... I'm not yet enough of a photo addict to buy expensive pro tools.

What are some effective strategies for preventing the use of my proprietary images?  I'm talking about saving them, direct linking to them etc...  Presently I have a watermark on the image, but I'd rather not.  .NET platform preferred, but if there's a strategy that's on another platform that integrates with my existing application that'd be a bonus.

In Windows Vista, whenever I open a folder, the selection of columns is nonsensical: album, date taken, etc., for folders that contain no music or pictures whatsoever. I can select the correct columns for a particular folder, but all the other folders are still wrong, even when I go in to Folder Options and click the button to set the current options to all folders of this type.  How can I tell Windows to use the current column selection for all folders, unless otherwise specified?

Today I saw an article about a half-gig, 24000 square-pixel high-res composite .    (This is a much smaller version of the image)  I find astronomy interesting, so I thought I'd download it and take a look. With 4GB of RAM and an i5 processor, I figured my computer could handle it. Unfortunately, the built-in Windows Picture Viewer didn't do such a great job. While it opened the file without a problem, zooming in was ineffective. The zoomed out image loaded, but zooming in just showed a scaled-up version of the zoomed-out version, not any detail:    Closing the picture viewer also took a very long time, and the whole process used up much more RAM than the 500MB of the picture (usage went from 1.3GB to 3.8GB).  What other software would work better for this? I would prefer something that is free and fairly simple. I don't really want to use an editor (like photoshop or GIMP), just a nice lightweight viewer. Any suggestions?

I'm having a problem with, as far as I can tell a single folder (~/Pictures) in the Finder's List View mode. When I navigate to other folders they display normally, it is only my Pictures folder that is wrong.  The issues are:   The header is not being displayed in the standard way The folders do not have a disclosure triangle to see its contents.   I have tried deleting the folder's .DS_Store and .localized files and restarting the Finder, repairing Disk Permissions with Disk Utility, and finally cold booting the machine.   I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this.  My machine is a MacBookPro w/Retina running 10.8.4.    Notice that the column headers are being drawn differently and the disclosure triangle to the left of the folder names is missing.

I am having a very odd problem. I have a photo that I took with my Nikon d5000 uploaded to photoshop, without any adjustments other than a crop, and then when I export it the color changes drastically In this screenshot, you can see the photo in windows photo viewer on the left, and Photoshop on the right. Do any of you know why this is occurring?

Every time I want to save an image I've pasted into the  application, it chooses a BMP/DIB format (which is the worst for saving things from the clipboard).  How can I hack Paint into defaulting to the JPEG format when saving images?  I am using Windows XP SP3 and Paint 5.1 at the moment. I hope though that any hacks might be generic and I'd be able to use them across all my Windows machines.

When I right click on a jpg file in Windows Explorer (Windows 7), I see that there is an "Edit" menu item.  If I click this item, it opens the image in MSPaint.  Blah.  I have Paint.NET installed, and I'd like to change the "Edit" action to open the image in Paint.NET.  How can I go about doing this?

After installation, and for a few days, Windows 10 starts by asking you if you like a series of images that appear when you start the computer, then, based on your opinion, a selection of these images keep "welcoming" you. I'd like to know where these images are saved (and how, if it's a database or a change of format-extension).  I might want some of them, I might want to add a few of my own.   Does anybody know the path to these images (or database)? Is there documentation or options in Windows 10 to treat them?
