[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).

IrfanView 134 (29.7%)
Microsoft Picture Viewer (included with the OS) 85 (18.8%)

Re: [Poll] Image Viewers - 2008 Members Choice

Thanks for the [POLL], FB..well done

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

MS Paint is my backup.

I voted for ACDSee but I am using 2.43. I would not use a newer version.

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).

By just clicking the images, Microsoft Fax & Piucture Viewer.
For other times, Irfanview.

I prefer Irfanview.

Great Poll BTW!

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!

Thanks FB for the poll !

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.

Another vote for Irfanview. Great image viewer, highly recommended. Started many years ago with Vueprint and still have it, but Irfanview is the better choice.

I put a check in the "other" box. I have been using PMView Pro for many years and have found nothing that fits my needs better. I also use Picasa2.

The Official MS Picture Viewer is good enough for me.

I ditched ACDSee (tired of the bloat) for FastStone, but I really do miss the speed of ACDSee
