What are Reddit's favorite Image Viewer Apps?

I use Irfanview for looking at pictures. About once a week, Win10 decides it caused some kind of problem and one by one, this message pops up for every image format Irfanview uses, including dozens I've never heard of. One of many reasons I'm going back to Win7.

I present to you, Irfanview. Displays pretty much any type of image ever, including .gifs. It's not much of an intuitive-GUI photo organiser, but it's incredibly functional.

1. Right click on the gif and save image as to a folder you are familiar with. Your My Pictures folder is a good place but any folder you can save to will work. (Depending on your browser, the dialog can also be Save Target As, Save Link As or Save Picture As)

2. Download XnView. (a free image viewer)

3. Install XnView.

4. Open XnView. Click Tools then Options. At the bottom-left of the menu select Associations. Now click on The Most Used button. Your file associations for the most commonly used image types are now set to open in XnView.

5. Now go to where you saved the gif file and double click on it. Your animated gif images should now open in XnView and play rather than just showing you the first frame.

This is the EXIF data from a picture taken with my iPhone. Nothing too revealing except for the GPS info. For reference, the GPS info in my photo was about a mile or so off from the actual location. The EXIF data can be removed from the .jpg file, but you need a program that can do this. (I use IrfanView.) And I just tested it out and turning off location services does prevent the GPS data from being recorded in the picture.

Irfanview. Small, takes no resources, works great on every Windows OS, displays virtually anything. Free. If you work with images, it will become your favorite tool. Trust me.

Assuming you're on Windows, you can take screenshots from the command line with Irfanview. So you could use a .bat file (in the same folder where i_view32.exe is) with something like this:

:loop i_view32.exe /capture=0 /convert=c:\capture_$U(%d%m%Y_%H%M%S).jpg timeout /t 30 goto loop

I didn't test this (don't have Windows right now) , but in theory it should put a screenshot on your C drive every 30 seconds.

On Linux, you could use scrot (or screencapture on macOS) whith a bash while loop and sleep.

• Save as PNGs. But not just regular PNGs, use the cairo device png (ggsave(..., type = "cairo-png"), you'll need the cairoDevice package installed). It's amazing the difference this simple step can make in image quality and (especially) font readability.

• Use the font size argument to any ggplot theme function. The defaults are good for print. For a presentation you'll need to bump it up to, e.g., theme_classic(base_size = 20).

• Use relative font sizes (rel()) for theme customization so that your base_size argument propagates through.

• Use the R graphics device window (or the RStudio pane or whatever) only for rough drafts. By the time you get close to a production-quality graphic, save it as a PNG and do all final adjustments based on viewing the file. To help with that, get a lightweight image viewer that will auto-update when the file changes---I've recently started using imageglass and it works fine, there are probably several other very good options too. Make the viewer window about the size of the graph in your PPT window and make sure things look sized right before putting in PPT.

• Don't use default ggplot colors. For presentations you'll want colors with relatively high saturation, some of the RColorBrewer palettes work, or the colors from the wesanderson package.

• As others have said, use ggthemes to find a theme that works for you, and customize it to work for your presentations. For presentation figures generally, keep things clean---don't overdo gridlines or axis-break labels, move annotations from the legend to the graph where possible (use annotate()!).

This need to be addressed as IrfanView is most definitely not some M$ made program that just happens to come with windows.

From Irfanview help file and http://www.irfanview.com/ > IrfanView is a compact, easy to use image viewer. More than that, you can also edit images directly in IrfanView, to produce a variety of effects. IrfanView was created by Irfan Skiljan.

JPEGView is your go-to. Not only is it incredibly minimalistic and lightweight (even portable), but it allows you to almost instantly view any image in full resolution, switch to next or previous images within the same folder, quickly zoom in with scroll or fit to screen with space, and has a built in editor for adjusting contrast, brightness, hue etc..

It also solves your problem with switching images after zooming in if I'm not mistaken.

I've been using it for a few months after having the same issues as yourself with the default image viewer and It's completely replaced it.

It's .tga, it's hardly a strange file type.

You can use Irfanview's batch conversion to convert them all to .jpg and automatically delete the originals.

Microsoft Windows has supported a pluggable image codec model since Windows Vista. It is entirely within Adobe's purview to create a PSD codec for Windows, but they have for whatever reason chosen not to do so. For a while they offered a DNG codec in preview through Adobe Labs, but even that has been left to languish is no longer officially available.

There are a couple of legitimate third party suppliers for Windows image codecs. I believe they may have free trials available. Check these out:

http://www.ardfry.com/psd-codec/

http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/photoshop-psd-codec/

You can, of course, choose to use layered TIFF files instead of PSD for your Photoshop work. This is what I do (choosing the option to maximize compatibility). Windows can thumbnail TIFF files natively, and this avoids both the cost and potential instability of a third-party decoder.

Hope this helps.

You could try copying the files to a PC and try to open them with different kinds of photo software (XNView might be an option - it can usually open damaged photos, or Photoshop), some might be able to open it and let you save it again.

Fuck yeah. Their PR campaigns have been so damn good, documentation of that stuff can be really, really high impact. There are still millions of people saying totally crazy stuff about fracking, like that it's never contaminated groundwater, etc. And as for being blacklisted, that facebook page has an email address you can submit to, if you don't want it to be tied to your facebook account. Just be sure to re-save any images without the EXIF data if you want to be really safe - that's the stuff in the file that shows when, where it was taken, etc. You can do it with IrfanView or most decent image editors in the options you get after "Save As..."

There's a lot of us fighting out here - know that we've got your back.

There's a program called Irfanview that I use. It's very small, but it's an amazing program. You can paste your screenshots into that, and when you save them, you can choose the quality you want.

EDIT: here's an example

Irfanview

FastSTone Image Viewer is the main one that I use. It's free and works very well with Raw files.

XnView is also a good one. The tabs are really handy. It's also free.

XnView MP ( http://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/ ) Does what you need and more.

• Much, much faster than Lr & PMechanic.
• Much better keywords engine compared with Lr (shortcuts, Category (=keywords) Managers, unlimited Sets etc.)
• Various editing/creation/comparison tools
• Nice editor (double-click on the image) for common editing tasks.
• good file management engine (Favorites on Copy / Move To..., Visual comparison on Filename conflict, drag & drop file management, different ways to select and/or tag files, file filtering & searching, sorting, show files in recursive folders etc.)
• EXIF + IPTC + XMP (and histogram) can be shown in a separate (auto-collapsible or not) pane which fits in GUI (you can have it always on if you want)
• two monitor support
• Cross-platform
• The fastest Batch-Conversion engine around (AFAIK - yes, I tested)
• The fastest thumbnail generation engine around (AFAIK, - yep, I tested (again)) (note: on par with Corel's ASP)
• The most scalable DB around (AFAIK - you can use WebP compression for Thumbs in order to reduce the size, very lightweight structure, LR DB is a pig)
• Configurable GUI (Drag & Drop panes, Save Layouts, Save Keyboard shortcuts, Themes etc.)
• Supports a ton of formats
• Free

Bonus: Actively developed

If I forgot something, just ask.

Disclaimer: I am not the developer, just a happy user. :)

Absolutely! But bear with me: the program that I wrote to generate the images was a project for an introductory-level computer science course, and so the method of obtaining the actual pictures is a little convoluted.

Link to the C++ code. It generates square images that you can adjust the resolution of by modifying the PIXEL_DIMENSIONS constant in the anonymous namespace. It accepts three lines of input from a file called "mandelinput.txt":

1. The real (x) lower bound
2. The imaginary (y) upper bound
3. The real (x) upper bound

It writes these out to a file called mandeloutput.ppm (PPM, I know!) I then use IrfanView to convert the PPM to a PNG. Since the image is grayscale, I then pull it into photoshop and use a gradient map to give it some nice colors. I also added a slight glow effect just for fun.

Interesting article.

I've switched to linux as my day-to-day OS (from Win7) and the two things I miss regularly are Notepad++ and Irfanview. Two of the greatest little handy utilities ever.

Now I have to resort to using them inside wine, which isn't great, but they work!

Re-enabling the old one doesn't take long at all, alternatively you could try IrfanView (works nice, looks ugly).

I jedan Irfan je napravio Irfanview 8) http://www.irfanview.com/

Ja uvijek koristim Irfanview kad trebam otvarat PSD files posto Photoshop traje dugo da se upali a Irfanview odma otvori. I batch funkzija radi brze od batch funkzije od Photoshopa :)

IrfanView? It's been around since Windows 95 days.

I use http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/download for my crosshair. Will this be blocked? Could it be added to the list if it is? It's just a custom logo projected on the screen, I just made it a red dot.

what about xnview? I just checked and it has a full slideshow config window as well as quick slideshow. not 100% sure about unicode, but it's my go-to image viewer and I work with media all day. It's quite robust and has been around for ages.

In fact I looked at WP and it's been around for 17 years!

ImageJ is a great free tech tool. It's Java based but I like its things, plus if you go to the Plugins menu,Select Filters, then Enhance Local Contrast the image is almost as good as my "Filtered" images.

https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/

Or a more user friendly IrfanView.

http://www.irfanview.com/

I've tried alternatives over the course of a more than a decade but IrfanView is irreplaceable for me for image viewing and light editing like cropping, resizing and color levels.

> They saved as some kind of format almost no one had ever heard of before and converting them was a pain so I don't have very many.

If you still have the old files you may be able to open them with Irfanview.

There are image viewers that don't open all that? Honest question.

Personally, I use Irfanview. Opens most any image file, going all the way back to my Amiga images.

Yes, OP knows it's not FOSS, it said so in the title and in their comment... It's free as in free beer (gratis), not as in freedom (libre). The same goes for FDRTools (which is in the sidebar), as well as the powerful image viewer IrfanView. However, there's nothing wrong with discussing tools like these, so long as it's made clear which category it falls into.

For years I've used IrfanView -- a free, lightweight image viewer that works really well. I also do basic editing with it (cropping, sharpening, tweaking contrast/colours). I have no interest in serious post-processing so have never felt the need to get Photoshop or Lightroom, etc.

I had this same problem a while back with earlier builds of 10 and couldn't figure out what was wrong so I switched to using Honeyview which loads way quicker and does everything I need. I know most people would recommend XnView but I don't really need some of the features it has such as a dedicated browser; I already use File Explorer for that. Also, in my tests, I found Honeyview opens faster than XnView which opened just as slow as Photos did. YMMV.

You can't do this in-camera. It can be done on the computer; if you have Linux or a Mac (or Windows with Cygwin or MinGW or MSYS2 or Linux-on-Windows Subsystem or something like that) you can do it with this ugly one-liner I just wrote at a Bash prompt from the directory where the files are stored:

CNT=0; for IMAGE in P*.JPG; do NEWNAME="$(stat -c '%z' "$X" | cut -d. -f1 | tr ':' '-' | tr ' ' '')"; test -e "$NEWNAME" && NEWNAME="${NEWNAME}$CNT" && CNT=$((CNT + 1)); mv "$IMAGE" "${NEWNAME}.JPG"; done

It will not overwrite files that have the exact same change time because the CNT index is appended for collisions and incremented on each use.

Edit: I'm pretty sure you can use IrfanView's batch processing to do bulk renaming for this too.

irfanview handles large gif and psd files natively, but I haven't been able to get it to work work with webms (even with the media passthrough option). There may be a pluggin available, but I generally view webms in VLC or MPC-HC which comes with the K-Lite mega codecs pack.

Not the guy who did it, but everyone's favorite free image editor (irfanview) can do this.

Just choose Edit -> Show Paint Dialog

One of the tools is an arrow line. Easy!

Sweet.

Not trying to be nit-picky, but whatever program you used to resize the pictures made em all janky. Give Irfanview a try, it's completely free and it's awesome for all your basic viewing and modification needs.

Irfanview - freeware. Use the batch Conversion option. Select your input images; choose output format (PDF) and let it run.

Be certain to install both Irfanview and the additional plugin pack for this functionality.

My favorite small, fast image viewing and simple image editing program is IrfanView.

The 64-bit version is a 3.17 meg download, not even five megabytes, and it is lightning fast. Much simpler to work with than Photoshop, too.

To resize, load in the image you want, then click "image>resize/resample" and pick your size.

No. The best fucking answer is and always has been ALT+PrtScr key, it is next to the scroll lock. Paste in IrfanView and cut it up and save it. Most JPG's are fine now if you save without compressing and the file size is smaller than PNG.

Whoever has ever used a separate program for screenshots, you're an idiot.

My reply to a now deleted comment:

Some IrfanView features:

• Many supported file formats (click here the list of formats)
• Multi language support
• Thumbnail/preview option
• Paint option - to draw lines, circles, arrows, straighten image etc.
• Toolbar skins option
• Slideshow (save slideshow as EXE/SCR or burn it to CD)
• Show EXIF/IPTC/Comment text in Slideshow/Fullscreen etc.
• Support for Adobe Photoshop Filters
• Fast directory view (moving through directory)
• Batch conversion (with image processing) <-The best in my mind
• Multipage TIF editing
• File search
• Email option
• Multimedia player
• Print option
• Support for embedded color profiles in JPG/TIF
• Change color depth
• Scan (batch scan) support
• Cut/crop
• IPTC editing
• Effects (Sharpen, Blur, Adobe 8BF, Filter Factory, Filters Unlimited, etc.)
• Screen Capturing
• Extract icons from EXE/DLL/ICLs
• Lossless JPG rotation
• Unicode support
• Many hotkeys
• Many command line options
• Many PlugIns
• Only one EXE-File, no DLLs, no Shareware messages like "I Agree" or "Evaluation expired"
• No registry changes without user action/permission!
• and much much more

I use Irfanview for this because all of its image manipulation things are cheesy, 90's feeling and straight to the point...just the way they should be. It depends on the image, but I usually apply a series of odd and repetitive combinations of effects, like max sharpening twice + slight pixelization + another max sharpen + something else that might strike my fancy. For this one, though, I wanted it to still look like Discord, so I didn't apply any of the effects that would totally ruin his shape and image. Sometimes, though, you can make really neat abstract glitch art if you use some of the more image-changing effects.

I use a combination of a few (slightly buggy) effects in the Effects Browser and an abuse of some color enhancements, like contrast, gamma correction and saturation. Those are usually done to make it more colorful.

A combination of cheesy/buggy Effects Browser effects at the correct settings and color enhancements at the right points in the journey to chaos get something like this. I don't usually write down the steps I took nor remember them, but this one took about 20-30 or so steps I think.

FastPictureViewer Codec Pack lets you add raw thumbnails into windows explorer views and you can view the files in irfanview too. Lightroom is amazing though - I'm a recent convert myself and love how you can work directly with the raw files. It even lets you upload to Flickr, Facebook and other sites directly from the application. Badass.

http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/download

Copy your Recursion crosshair into the folder and use that. I use it now. Much more reliable.

Spread it, not a stat tracker but it's a crosshair. Works just as well.

Custom Desktop Overlay

Doesn't change the client in any way so it should be fine according to this post from RadarX.

http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/

Windows 10 really should do this natively but Microsoft doesnt care about quality. The so called "Creators Update" should have included this as a feature. Its what real creators need, not a 3d paint UWP toy.

XnView do that cleanly and it's free,"Tools/Find similar files" and you have 3 types of search: filename, file data and content similarity with a slider to adjust the aggressiveness of the search.

It's called a "contact sheet". The name comes from the old times of the 35 mm film when you laid several negatives on a photographic paper in order to see if they were good or not, to decide which one you'll print in a bigger size, etcetera.

On a PC I use this great free software called XnView that can make them. They have several versions for different operating systems and smartphones.

XnView - a great image viewer/directory viewer/batch converter. Lightweight too. Less than 10 MB.

And if you like the command line, NConvert. That's less than 2MB.

IrfanView works perfect in wine. So I would just settle for that. Because there is no good alternative to IrfanView.

Here is some alternatives. Just in case you don't want wine.

http://alternativeto.net/software/irfanview/?platform=linux

XnView MP is on the top of the list. http://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/ Closest your going to get, without using wine for IrfanView.

If your work flow is jpeg>adjustment>jpeg no software made will preserve image quality.

If it is RAW>adjustment>lossless format, virtually every app is pretty good.

The reality is that every adjustment you make compromises image quality. Every adjustment comes down to mapping a range down to a subset of that range and/or mapping a subset to the full range, both lose information.

For free and simple I like this one best: http://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/

IrfanView image viewer. Because after 40 years, there's somehow still not a decent one included. It's instant and actually has a ton of image processing features, especially for batch jobs. It's like the Notepad++ of image viewers.

Microsoft has the RAW codec pack available on their site here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26829

This should allow you to view the RAW files using the default Windows photo viewer. Alternatively you can download a different photo viewer that natively has RAW support, like IrfanView.

As an alternative to Photoshop if you're just looking for effects, IrfanView is free, insanely quick to load, and has many effects if you press Ctrl+E after opening an image.

IrfanView

IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact freeware image viewer and converter supporting an extensive list of formats (including audio and some video). Includes many basic editing features and can be expanded with plugins. Doesn't do everything, but is definitely my "Swiss pocket knife" for images.

Use IrfanView. It has a very nice batch processing mode that lets you, among other things, convert a bunch of images automatically. It's also a great general purpose image viewer that, with the help of plugins, can view pretty much any image format you can imagine. Oh, and it's free.

Edit: here you go: http://www.irfanview.com

Navigating with the arrow keys within a folder of images? Irfanview. Then press F12, although that's just one way of editing within the program. What type of editing capabilities does he need exactly?

that's great work, congrats everyone!

one suggestion, for albums. You would save a lot of time uploading if you convert your images. You can resize and rename all of your images very quickly using irfranview which is free, fast and easy to use. if anyone needs help with the image batch conversion, pm me. (ps launch the program click b)

Irfanview. Get and install both the basic program and the extensions. Been a while (many years) since I used its bulk conversion feature so I'm afraid you'll have to check the help.

I just use <strong>irfanview</strong> to crop & resize, before I upload to imgur.

Anything else I need to do more extensive image work I'll use Gimp. (don't get it from from the sourceforge traitors).

For direct conversion, no manipulation, probably just about anything that can read the cr2. Irfanview is a good choice for easy batch conversion.

If you want to manipulate or color correct the image first, try RawTherapee.

On PC, look into Irfanview. With the optional set of plugins you can install from that same page, it's capable of browsing through a folder and playing just about every media format I've ever heard of. MP4s, FLVs, SFWs, all image types, even text files.

This happens when the recovery application misses the end of the file so it grabs too much. Like others have said you can re save them to toss the junk data.

A few apps that have batch editing:

http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

http://www.irfanview.com/

Ah right. DNG support isn't built in the way JPG and other common formats are.

There's two choices:

1. Open them with an image viewer which knows what to do with DNGs. Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop or Camera Raw will do this, or if you want free, IrfanView will display them too :-)

2. Enable Windows to understand them itself. This way lets you see the thumbnail previews, but be warned that due to the large filesizes and sheer amount of data in the image, it's slow. Install the Adboe DNG Codec to enable it, from the Adobe website here. It says Windows 7 but I've installed on Windows 8.1 and it does work.

Personally, if you're just wanting to view them, I'd go with option 1 and IrfanView :-)

http://www.irfanview.com and here is a software that you can use to see the geo-location info. Like I said I have little experience with this stuff but from what I understand if these pictures have been uneditted you should be able to find the location of where these pictures were taken.

Have you tried checking the actual .tga file that the game makes when you take a screenshot?

Edit: Also, if you don't have any software that can open up .tga files, you can use IrfanView

I'm missing something: PicPick!

• Copy to clipboard or...
• Automatically save to BMP/JPG/PNG in a folder of your choosing. I prefer to save screenshots as PNG in a single folder, so I can browse through them at a later date and see what I was working on at the time.
• Alt + PrtScr to capture only the active window (bonus: no mouse cursor)
• Shift + PrtScr to draw a rectangle to save to a screenshot
• Other stuff, like built-in magnifying glass, color picker

It is one of those tools I use every single day.

EDIT: How did this one get missed? IrfanView, the VLC of image formats.

It's really easy if you have the app on both devices.

Android: After signing in/creating a drop box account, there is a tab at the bottom labeled "files", tap on it and you should see options to upload photos/videos, create folders, upload files, scan documents, and take photos. Select the upload option that will work for your file type, then select the files you want to upload. Finally, tap the button to upload them.

Once you have them on Dropbox you can log into your Dropbox on any device to access them. If you really want to download them to your iPad instead of just using them on the cloud (which requires an internet connection), this link might be helpful in guiding you through that process:

https://readdle.com/documents/how-to-connect-cloud

Also, don't forget to connect to your wifi when you try to upload or download this many files.

You can try a files management app like Documents by Readdle (free) to connect to your PC via SMB. Don't know if you can use that particular app on an older device like the iPad 2 but you can try connecting via SMB on another app.

If you want something super simple and lightweight (albeit old) you can use http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/download

Completely free to use over any application (including windows) , just requires that you play in windowed or windowed fullscreen modes

I've been using custom desktop logo for the time being. Just requires ripping the crosshair files from recursion, loading it in the application, then calibrating it to get it in the center of the screen. Then you just run planetside in windowed mode. Not ideal, but it's free, lightweight, and it's not playclaw

http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/download

Copy your Recursion crosshair into the folder and use that. I use it now. Much more reliable.

Spread it, not a stat tracker but it's a crosshair. Works just as well.

They will not. However, I use this software for my own custom crosshair

Here's a clip of me using my own

It's called Custom Desktop Logo

Here's a link to their website:

http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/download

There's a help guide on their website, though it's pretty self explanatory.

You need to use PNG files, which is just a fancy image file, there's a free website I go to with fantastic image editing abilities:

ipiccy.com

It has 'premium features' which you need to sign up to use, but it's free to sign up and you don't get any spam from it. Even without the premium features it has great abilities, like being able to change any image file you upload to the website into a PNG file, which is necessary for the software

Here's a link to the latest reticle I use, again I've edited it. the green horizontal line at the bottom is for damage fall-off for my Conspirator:

https://i.imgur.com/rXhub4o.png

This other guy said he wanted me to message him about this also, so I'm going to @ him here, just FYI

/u/CKChance19

I use a program called custom desktop logo http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/download

It seems to be a good solution while hi-rez figures out its issues because it barely uses any RAM or anything and is relatively easy to set up, start up and turn off.

I was going to try this overlay program for that very purpose. I know it has gotten people VAC bans on Rust, but I don't know if you could get in trouble doing that online.

Don't worry, mumbl is shit anyway. Try this out: http://customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/download

I've suggested it to others and they have great success with it and apparently it's getting around.

If you need to edit your reticle be sure you save it as a .png with transparency preserved.

It's pretty straightforward, turn the animation in the program off so it doesnt flicker line up center with center in tribes and then turn the reticle in tribes off.

He uses Custom Desktop Overlay to have an image displayed over everything. Requires you to be in borderless windowed mode since it doesn't hook into anything. I already run borderless windowed anyways just because also I like to have my mumble overlay work using mumble-d.exe.

You can make an image easily or search for images of crosshair overlays from tribes or mechwarrior.

Apparently PlayClaw5 also works with a free Steam demo but I've never used it.

This was the codec I bought. It was a while ago but the page has a lot of detail on specifics and at the time it was the only way to view thumbnails in explorer because MS hadn't updated the codec pack. Lots of forum talk about that, everything pointed to that codec as the only option and I agree unless i wanted to use a program to browse the images. I'll let you dig for specifics cuz it was a while ago.

If you aren't viewing raw photos, than the free version of http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/ is very good. It is tweaked for performance and allows you to sort/keep/star photos very quickly. You can figure how much ram it uses per image as well.

MysticThumbs (+ ghostscript to enable AI and PDF files) - $25

FastPictureViewer Codec Pack - $15

I prefer MysticThumbs. Indy developer, constantly updated, has more options (including transparency, which might help you), and more supported formats. I get the feeling that FastPictureViewer only extracts embedded thumbs for specific formats too, while MysticThumbs can actually load the image format.

There is also a free Koshigaya Thumbnails which would give you PSD, but not AI/PDF, but I can't seem to find a working link and it only worked with 32-bit Windows.

I agree with you completely. I don't use Irfanview but a different codec plugin for Windows 7 that does the same thing. Thumbnails while browsing in explorer show just like a jpeg. I spend most of my time in Lightroom anyway.

Edit: I use Windows 7 64bit and shoot with a Canon 7D and this does the trick (only $15)... http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/

Also replied with link to Qro and JackAttackNZ so they got orangered. Sorry for the multiple link postings!

There's a new amazing app that opens WebP and other formats that I use:

https://interversehq.com/qview/download/

It's also available for Windows and Mac. As well as having PPA, RPM, Aur, etc etc.

qView is an image viewer designed to be minimal and generally fast and easy to use. It's not for everyone, but I designed it to be exactly what I wanted from an image viewer. You can see the full spiel here.

If you look at this satellite photo, this is the last area they pass through before their bones are found, so they either they passed that very area alive, and it looks like quite a dangerous rocky area, or they got washed downstream as bare bones. But also it looks alot like a waterfall and there's no way that bag isn't getting wet inside.

** Use jpegview - https://sourceforge.net/projects/jpegview/ **

Jpegview is the fastest, most minimalistic image viewer I have ever used. It's beautiful and fantastic. It's also free and open source! *^not ^a ^paid ^endorsement

XnConvert can do that. Drag and drop all the images into it. Then go to Action and add the action Text. When you click on the arrow to the right of the text field, you can chose variables, like filename.

You might be able to configure XnView to do what you want.

It has ratings, labels (changeable but limited to 5 options), categories (tagging), and basic searching. You can also setup hotkeys to rate an image and move to next image which might help.

Hmm, I would never have thought that, they are all good pics, just all very samey. if you have good groupshots thats great, also be not afraid of editing hardcore, its amazing how much difference you can get with just contrast/saturation, etc..

I recommend xnview, its free, easy to use, and has all the basic cropping/editing functions you need.

Faint of heart is not the issue - I'm aware of some here, especially Vets, who have seen it all before and far worse than is in the report.

It's why I warned as to the content and it's nature. People with exposure related PTSD can make their minds up for themselves. People know best how to manage themselves.

One trick is to also limit exposure by turning PDF docs into image files and then into negative. The white text on black does not radically alter the reading experience, and the negative images can be accepted with less disquiet. Don't ask me exactly why it works, it just does. XnView is very useful for this and as it's cross platform (Win, Mac, Linux, Android) easily recommended. Can take any file format and batch convert, in this case pdf, convert it straight to a negative pdf in seconds.

You can do this on the PC desktop version as well. You'll need to use something like XnConvert or CloudConvert to change from webp to png.

XnView, IfranView, or any of the free image browsers will do that. I use XnView, first sorted by date, then tags/ratings, etc. Unlimited choices of organizing for every project. http://www.xnview.com/en/

p.p.s. Look at Bimp, the batch processor for Gimp. You can basically batch apply anything you would do with Gimp, which is just about anything. Otherwise, try Xnview .

Do all photo types do that (JPG, PNG, etc...)?

Did it used to work?

Can you load photo viewer itself through windows?

Are any other programs failing to launch?

If you want to try a 3rd party solution try http://www.xnview.com/en/ which is better than the stock windows viewer anyway

There are a large amount of image cataloguers out there. The two I'd suggest - depending on what features you want - are:

XnView: http://www.xnview.com/en/

FastStone Image Viewer: http://faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

Both are freeware. If you want payware, go with ACDSee - it doesn't have too much in the way of competition at that end of the market.

Note that XnView 'Classic' (which is the current stable version, and which is Windows only), is being slowly phased out for XnView MP (Multi-Platform). MP is designed to run on Windows, Linux and Mac, but is still very much in Beta (and does not have feature parity with classic as yet).

If you want a simply cataloguer, go with FastStone. If you want one with more features - including the ability to add notes to your files - go with XnView (tagging in XnView MP is much better than in XnView Classic and I would normally suggest it, but unless you are comfortable with Beta software, stay away from MP for the moment).

Strange. SYN is a lesser-used image format (Synthetic Universe Image - amongst other Syntax related files), but I can't imagine why it'd be .jpeg.syn, though. It sounds like the person might have sent the photo's recovery file rather than the actual JPEG.

You could always try to open the photo through XNView, which supports the SYN format, but I'd definitely ask for another copy from the sender.

I use XnView

It's basically an image viewer/manager, but you can (on the menu) Create > Multi-Page File, select the files you want to include, and choose PDF as the output.

Freeware, available for:

• Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP/Vista/Seven

• Windows 3.x

• MacOS X/Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Irix/Solaris/HP-UX/AIX

Like NLWoody suggested, two Explorer windows side by side with one set to large icons would work.

XnView is a good general purpose image viewer + browser if you're not happy with Explorer (Can drag drop, or just alt+m and pick from a favorite folder)

FWIW shortcuts (ctrl+1-5) work in the XnView MP viewer too, even the full screen slideshow.

edit: just had a look and it doesn't seem to actually write the rating to the file, it seems to show within xnview only.

Best tool for managing photos where you want to maintain some separation of different libraries is to use the free open source XNViewMP It's a fairly robust image organizer and viewer and it will not move photos, merely load the relevant folders and offer up simple editing tools. You can sort your client's image folders manually and build a system that is customized to your workflow. Any sort of photo/image processing program that builds libraries means that you're not in control of the management of them, hence /u/Deathbyspaetzle's warning. As much of a trudge as it is on the setup, manually building your own filesystem for your various clients is about the best, safest way to go.

You can use iPhoto if you have it, to load the app, just launch the program then drag-and-drop your photo folder onto the main window and let it build the library for you. If you don't have it, you can use Picasa (from google) or the ever awesome open-source XNViewMP.

If you want to use Preview, which is the Apple image viewer (that does not build/use Libraries per se. so much as it just opens pictures out of folders you choose) you select many pictures at once out of the folder and double-click on them.

Maybe give this a try out http://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/ I realize it is outside the repository ecosphere, but they do offer .deb or .tar.gz packaging, plus there is quite an active forum in which the developers get involved.

I found it to be highly configurable.

I keep switching back and forth between IV and XNView/XNView MP (latter one because it's compatible with Unicode characters in the path)...
