Photo viewer for Mac that can rotate (and save) pics while browsing folders

finderiphotophotospreview

I am coming from Win and I am so disappointed by Mac's usability so far. My current problem is with maintaining photos. I usually take lot of pictures with my DSLR and I want a very simple solution to:

  • browse through pictures where they are – without the need to copy them to some library like in iPhoto
  • ability to easily rotate one or more of them at a time – unlike in preview where you can rotate only one picture in only one direction
  • they should stay rotated(!!!) after I close the program – unlike x mac apps that I tried that do not save the rotation, which is totally useless
  • large/full screen preview, with easy way to jump to prev/next photo without any headache inducing animation
  • I want to know the number of pictures in a folder without going to a special menu like in Finder
  • I don't want to spend more than $1-$2 on this simple app.

I am sorry if this sounds like a rant but I have tried so many options so far including spending money on useless app in the app store.

So if you only want to spend $2 for such an app, you definitely will be disappointed in every direction you will take a look at.

Regarding my most famous and favourite graphics manipulation and imaging software "Graphicconverter", which can do everything you want and described, you would pay 35€. But if you want to, you can try it out.
