Resize, rotate, copy and move
The everyday jobs on many photos at once, right where you see them — each with a way back.
Resize
Choose the pictures, then Resize in the bar at the bottom, or Ctrl+R. A card opens over the thumbnails:
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Make them | Half or Quarter of their size; a long side of 1280, 1600, 2048, 2560 or 3840 pixels; or an exact size — another shape cut to it from the middle, fitted inside it, or pulled to it. Only smaller: none is made bigger, and those already that small are left as they are. |
| Save | Copies beside — next to each, its size in the name; the originals stay as they are. Or Replace the originals — a copy of each is kept while the manager is open, and Ctrl+Z puts them back. |
The card shows what the largest of them becomes before you start. Each picture keeps its own format and quality (a JPG at the quality set in Settings), its date and its camera, and gets a light sharpening after it, as cameras do for screens — Settings → General → Sharpen when made smaller. A camera's RAW file gets a JPG copy. Animations and icons are left as they are.
Rotate and flip
Ctrl+Alt+← and Ctrl+Alt+→, or right-click → Rotate and flip. As in the viewer, the turn is saved to the files at once, and a JPG loses nothing: only its orientation mark changes — how.
Copy and move
- Copy to… and Move to… in the bar offer folders to pick at once, and Choose folder… for any other.
- Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V copy, cut and paste files as in Explorer — and between the manager and Explorer, both ways. Ctrl+Shift+C copies their paths as text.
- Drag pictures onto a folder — in the sidebar, a chip under the folder's name, or a part of the path. As in Explorer, on the same drive they move and to another drive they are copied; hold Ctrl to copy, Shift to move.
- A camera's RAW file and its JPEG go together, when shown as one.
Copies and moves go through Windows itself, with its own progress window and its questions when a name is taken.
Delete
Del or the bin in the bar moves the chosen pictures to the Recycle Bin — never further — and says how many.
