i work with lightroom, dpp and photoshop and always used MS picture manager to quickly view photos at 100% because  of its simple UI however, since upgrading to w10, picture manager is no longer reading the exif orientation tag correctly, basically ignoring it.

i am looking for a small, simple program with easy UI to quickly do the same as before, LR, DPP are too big and bulky for that simple task, looking at Faststone image viewer, ACDsee, irfanview, etc. which program is a good alternative and not too expensive. ive used faststone and acdsee before, and liked them, just wondering if there is something better

I use QuickLook on Mac.
Nothing is more simple: you select your files, press the spacebar and it is done.
It works with most of the files: image files, graphic files, sound files, videos, text, etc�

On Windows you can get something similar with Seer
