2 edits | [POLL] Image Viewers - 2008 Members Choice
Wikipedia's definition of an Image Viewer is a computer program that displays a stored graphical image; it can often handle various graphics file formats. Such software usually renders the image according to properties of the display such as color depth and display resolution.
One may use a full-featured bitmap graphics editors (such as Photoshop or the GIMP) as an image viewer. But these have editing functionality one may not need. A simple viewer lacks much of this functionality and therefore starts faster. Also, viewers do have simple functionalities that editors usually lack, such as stepping through all the images in a folder (possibly as a slideshow).
If I've forgotten a viewer that you're using please list it along with a link if possible.
Thanks steve1a for last years poll. |

I voted for Infranview..as it's primarily what I use, and works well enough for my purposes.

| reply to fourboxers System default is Irfanview because of the plug-ins and extra functions. FastStone is the stand alone when I go rooting through folders looking for specific things. (Have folder default set to details, removed thumbnail default view for picture folders, so a stand-alone viewer is very handy for me, and FastStone is a very nice one). -- To be on a pedestal is to be in a corner |

| reply to fourboxers For me, Irfanview is a must have "plug-in" for the Windows OS. As a simple viewer, which this poll seems to suggest, I don't think it can be beat. It's capable of much more like many of the other programs, but that's just a bonus. At least read about the keyboard shortcuts! |

Using CompuPic Pro for years, but I have to admit that I wonder why it hasn't been upgraded for years. Maybe "if it ain't broken....", I don't know... |

Thanks for starting off the new round of polls, fourboxers.
In XP I use XnView, in Linux I use either Eye Of Gnome, or F-Spot. or Gwenview, or DigiKam to view, depending on the distro. I use Gimp to edit.
