How can I rotate images received in outlook 2010 (MS picture view rotate button is disabled)?
While using outlook 2010 I've received a few pictures as attachments. When I open them I am unable to rotate the pictures. Is there a way to get this functionality available inside emails?
I know that saving the images to file and rotating is an option but that is not the desired route.

As of I know, there is no option to do so even in outlook 2010 so you cannot rotate withing the outlook. As you said you have to save on disk and then rotate.
Hi, sombrillatech.
Are you viewing the pictures simply by clicking on them once so that Outlook previews them? if so, then I agree with thakurdinesh. However, if you are double-clicking them so that they open in Windows Photo Viewer, then they should be rotatable.

Thanks guys. I have tried opening the message and it still does not allow me to rotate it without saving it to my local computer first. We have some VIP users here for whom it is not an option to take that step anyway.
This question actually pertains to both Outlook 2007 & 2010.
What is odd is that when working in Outlook 2007 on our server via terminal services, I am able to rotate images when viewed fro mthe reading pane.

When you open a photo is it opening in Windows Photo Viewer?

It opens in photo viewer and doesn't allow us to rotate.
What type of images are these (e.g. JPG, PNG)?

mostly jpg
What version of Windows?
ASKER
windows 7 and XP but only XP on the terminal services. Both versions are Professional. On windows 7 the issue exists in both 64 bit and 32 bit enviorements.
Try emptying Outlook's temporary items folder. This MS article describes where to find that folder.

That didn't seem to work Its weird because we are able to rotate on our server but not on our local mailboxes.
What do you mean by "on our server"? Are you talking about OWA?

The users were asking for irrelevant details. The post awarded points had a legitimate input which worked on one machine but not all.
Here's what I did and it worked. Remove the photo from your contact in Outlook on your PC. Email the picture that is displaying sideways to yourself. Download the photo to your smartphone. Add the photo to your Outlook contact on your phone (you'll need to crop it). When I did this with my Samsung Galaxy S3, it came out in the correct direction and synced correctly (in the right direction) on my PC.
