I inherited a lot of digital photos from my dad. He scanned all his negatives, but the scanner produced giant 25MB jpeg files. Powertoys and irfanview were both part of my workflow for getting a handle on them.
I’m just astonished at how hard I found it to even do simple things like rotating an image in a way that persists across applications. Let alone batch rotate. Made me feel crazy.
I think you can rotate images by actually rotating them, or by putting a flag in the metadata saying "rotate 90°". Support for the second is uneven. Part of general move away from tools and towards platforms :-(
