Today we had a training session for our Gallery users on campus, and we came across one user that was directionally challenged, for lack of a better term. They had difficulty determining clockwise from counter-clockwise. I am wondering if we could add directional arrows to the Rotate Photo option that graphically represents the direction and amount of rotation. I've mocked up a quick sample, and have attached the file below.

This might also be useful in Gallery 2.

Hello Patrick,

where exactly do you want the change.
I guess in the popup, like in the attachement showed, right ?

Jelly: Are there images that are currently supposed to be there? I may have missed that.

Tim_j: That's exactly what I'm referring to! Except that I think you have the 90 degree icons mixed up. ^_^

Brilliant. I think this will help users who have dyslexia or other directionally-challenged issues.
