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.
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_$U(%d%m%Y_%H%M%S).jpg timeout /t 30 goto loop
I didn't test this (don't have Windows right now) , but in theory it should put a screenshot on your C drive every 30 seconds.
On Linux, you could use scrot (or screencapture on macOS) whith a bash while loop and sleep.
This need to be addressed as IrfanView is most definitely not some M$ 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.
Sure thing,
1) Install irfanview and it's plugins. Mirror in case either link is dead
2) Open irfanview, go to "File>Batch conversion/rename"
3) The top right quadrant is where you select what you want to convert, add what you want.
4) In the lefthand side, roughly in the middle is the output directory.. point this at where you want the converted files to go.
5) In the top right hand quadrant is a button called "advanced" click on this.
6) roughly in the middle of this window is a bunch of image modification checkboxes, that you can use to rotate it any way you want.
Then just click ok on that window, and "start Batch", and when it completes, all of your images are rotated.
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
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":
- The real (x) lower bound
- The imaginary (y) upper bound
- 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).

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

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.
Or a more user friendly IrfanView.
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.
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.
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.
for windows: i like irfanview + riot (great for quick and easy bulk save-for-web). but riot can also be used as a plugin for other image editors or as a standalone app.
imagemagick also, but not as simple.
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.

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.
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 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.
That sucks. Well, for future reference, there are a few tools to mess about with EXIF data in bulk.
There are a few free options if you're not already using Lightroom or something similar. Obviously you'll have to delete the photos and reupload if you've already got them on Google photos, but if something goes wrong and you notice it before you upload, it'll save you a bit of time.
You can get Exifer here.
There are also other tools that do it, but they range from "overkill for just editing exif" to "command line utility", which not a lot of people know how to do.
If Exifer doesn't work (it hasn't been updated in a while) you can try irfanview, which is a pretty good bulk photo editing utility. It's larger than Exifer because it does more, but it's pretty useful for other things as well.
And if you wanna dabble with command-line stuff, ExifTool is pretty damn good, well updated, and it's in a tiny package. Just more difficult than just selecting the photos and messing with the dates.
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:
Hey, I use ACDSee, which isn't free. I can also recommend Adobe Lightroom. Both have free trials available.
If you want free, check out Irfanview. You will need the Metadata plugin to read specs.
Ah right. DNG support isn't built in the way JPG and other common formats are.
There's two choices:
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 :-)
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
You can make any wallpaper (check wallbase.cc for some) into one that fits your phone perfectly. According to Wikipedia, the resolution of the Desire is 480x800. Essentially, what I do is take an image of a certain size, say, 1920x1080, for example, resize it until it hits one of the resolutions first (in this case, down to 1422x800, keeping the aspect ratio). Then, crop it until the other resolution matches. Quick example: Original > Wallpaper-ized
If you plan to do this, I recommend IrfanView. I've used it for years and it works well.
[](/b32 "Happy wallpapering!")
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.
How about http://www.bandisoft.com/honeyview/ ? I use it for reading comics, but it works fine for normal images too. http://www.irfanview.com/ may also work (Haven't used it in a while, so I'm not sure)
All of Microsoft's "Metro" apps are tragic nightmares. No offense intended - MS shouldn't have foisted that crap on you by default :). Do yourself a favor and follow scsibusfault's advise. Or use another viewer: IrfanView is free, and will load other images in the same folder by scrolling up and down with the mouse wheel - doesn't get much simpler than that. There are tons of free, better alternatives.
This wouldn't be an Excel solution (sorry), but if third-party software is an option, you could possibly use something like IrfanView to handle the process for you. They have an option for batch conversion where you can specify the quality reduction of the resulting images when converting to lossy.
FastStone Image Viewer is what many people here recommended last time this was asked. Apparently it is liked for it's speed primarily. It too does not support .SVG
IrfanView does though, with a plugin. It also supports an exhaustive collection of other formats btw.
I personally use the default Windows 10 Photos app. It's annoying that it displays transparency as black, but other than that it serves me well.
Best part was a few months later we found out Irfanview isn't free for business use... so my company had to buy 700 concurrent TS licenses for Irfanview. The Irfanview developer, Irfan Skiljan (http://www.irfanview.com/main_about.htm) was happy to help us clean up the "sexy girl image" as part of that process because that was demanded by management. He was a cool guy to work with too.
It's fairly easy to clean up if you google the issue.
It's mostly an image viewer, but it can handle pretty much any format. I just noticed that it doesn't allow saving of dicom image files though so it might not help in the end (I'm assuming that's the format the files are in, it's a common medical imaging format)
supported formats: http://www.irfanview.com/main_formats.htm
more info on what it does/can do:
The rest of my workflow:
- Open the image with IrfanVew
- Shift+C, set custom ratio to 3.5555, save
- Control+Drag to create a selection with the selected ratio
- Look at the Window-Title to select at least 3480x1080 pixels
- Rightclick to drag the selection around
- Control+Y to crop to selection
- Control+R to resize to 3480x1080
- Save
Try Irfanview. It has rudimentary but effective editing tools and batch operations. Excellent image viewing software, I use it as default over windows viewer because it's that damn good.
-Checked, and converting to b/w and saving as PDF is able to be done as a batch operation if you have a lot of files.
I convert my images using Irfanview. It's my default image program. I can easily resize them or convert them and it is a fast process. My vita has never had trouble reading my image files and I just use .jpg as default on it.
Or if I have a lot of images to convert at once, I use xnview.
I'm not totally sure about your situation, but hopefully one of those two programs will be helpful.
you should definitely color correct / tweak the brightness and contrast on that to make it even more appealing.
I use irfanview and that makes it super easy to make little changes. Else would open Photoshop, and curves it up - the far right of the circled allows you to click a white area of the image, and using that it tweaks all the colours correctly. For a bit more contrast make a gradual s shape on the graph as well. If you don't have photoshop, this is the bomb; its online and as feature-ful.
DUDE! I'm really happy for you! :D Congrats!
But I also want to say that even if you're okay with oversharing, it's not just against reddit's rules, it's quite dangerous! Maybe you should blur/pixelate the personal info!
There's a program I use to view images called IrfanView, which can pixelate a selection.
sadly no, i went with using http://www.irfanview.com/ after changing a few settings its the closest thing I found, all its missing is the scroll wheel to zoom (can if hold ctrl + scroll) but other then that it works nicely.
Should be the same 2x16:9 ratio - so you could use these and stretch them to fit the screen or change the resolution to 7680x2160 with a image editing software (I like irfanview).
Source Images are 2100x1000 so quality won't get better - without ~~Photoshop~~/Gimp and I'm not that experienced with it.
~~http://www.irfanview.com/ can batch resize and convert images if you have access to Windows. I'm not sure it can automatically trim white space though.~~
~~http://www.imagemagick.org/ is available for any platform and could really get the job done, but it's more technical.~~
Edit: better idea -
http://photo.stackexchange.com/a/25278
First autocrop to remove the whitespace from all images, then do a batch resize.
I did a clean install (well, technically a "Reset" after upgrading, which might be the difference), and I do have the Photos app.
In any case, the app is garbage that mangles the quality of your photos. See this example (actual text overlaid on top of a picture of text opened in Photos app).
I like IrfanView.
I also use RawTherapee, and had the same. I figured out that when I tried viewing the pictures in Windows Photo Viewer, it used a different color profile, and ... mumble mumble (I don't know why it happens exactly)...
But, if I viewed my edited photo in a better photo viewer like IrfanView, color, contrast, and brightness would stay accurate when compared to the RawTherapee developing window.
So in short, its not a compression or format issue, it's an issue with your photo viewer. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can explain the details.
You don't mention your OS, but if it's Windows, you could try Irfanview. As you're browsing the images, press F7. That pops up a window with up to 14 directories to move to. Press 1-0, b, c, d, or e and the file is moved.
Or open up the folder, set the thumbnails to large and just grab and drag.
Or if you're separating by the date/time the picture was taken and you're comfortable with command line, ExifTool is very powerful for sorting in situations like this.
Sorry, I left a step out.
IrfanView Graphic Viewer for windows, for those stubborn image files, I used this to convert the images to .bmp and then back to .jpg when I was done. it will also open images that most viewers think are broken.
also, the first, like, half a second of the track is the header so you want to make sure that stays intact.
Besides that I just followed the guide.
*imported RAW as u-law, mono
*saved as "Other Uncompressed Files"
*changed the save options to u-law as well
*added .bmp to the end of the new file name
A theory: All the pig photos are 16 color gifs. They have a color palette available in the file. So I fired up IRfanview ( http://www.irfanview.com/ ) and got the color info by Image | Palette > Export Palette. Open up that text file and you will see 16 lines of 3 numbers. They are R(ed) G(reen) B(lue) and are decimal codes for those values. This tells us diddly. So hexify it. Now it looks more like a Hash value, eh?
So 16*16 gives us 256-bit value. But wait - we have more than that in each palette. Not if we pare it down. Green is the color, correct? Take only the middle value G(reen) in each tuple. Now we have a 256-bit Hex IF we use two values together.
FORTY THREE. SEVENTY FOUR. ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN. ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN.
And after all this - squat. I tried PIG_040 and PIG_003 and came up with 00ffa3c0e1ceb28f6f293c4f8f4f796300ff5c276f15879ce0cb9d637db43849 At http://md5hashing.net/ it came up with a big nothing burger. BUT that site does not have as someone pointed out upthread AES-256. So have at it if you wish to follow my hairbrained scheme.
And if you have followed me this far, open up forty four a.png (the crossword at top of page link called GRID) in IRfanview. Press F3 (Hex view), scroll down a bit and look for the Photoshop Layers bits. Yes, it is known info but another way of getting at it. (As another aside, I was so excited to see PIG_098 was another 256 color gif and wondered what secrets awaited. Sad to see it was just a mistake!) Have at it, I am going to bed.
You may want to take a look at Irfanview. If I remember correctly it has a batch portion that may allow you to convert a bunch of images at once and name them the way you want to.
Actually I just looked into this as we deal with these types of situations in academia all the time.
To extract multiple page TIFFS in Irfanview:
Options, Multipage Images, Extract All pages
To convert a bunch of normal TIFFS to jpg, then the batch would be the best option.
Eitherway both can be done in Irfanview.
The extraction of Tiff's doesn't seem to give you a ton of options in the naming. But the batching does.
edit:
Also when extracting or converting, if all of these tiffs are b/w you may want to look into using PNG if space is a concern.
You can use Irfanview and install the plugins. One of the plugins is lossless jpeg rotation.
Once installed, load up one of the images. Then hit "T" and it will show a thumbnail of all the images in the directory. Hit "Control+A" to select all. Then hit "Shift+J". That will bring up the lossless jpg rotation window. Select Autorotation and any other options you might like. Here's my settings. Click start and wait for it to finish.
Jpeg lossless rotation will rotate on the jpg blocks that are 8/16(? Not sure which, might be image dependent) pixels wide and if the image width and height isn't divisible by that number, it will get cropped. But images that come out of your camera will fit this criteria. Any images you have cropped yourself is a different story.
You can make one with Irfanview by extracting the gif frames and then making it into an SCR.
I had a quick stab at it for you. Note - use caution when downloading random SCR files ;)

You wouldn't be able to just drop the old executable into Windows 7. It would depend on all sorts of libraries and other components that don't exist in Windows 7. I think a better approach would just be to install a more versatile image viewer like IrfanView.
Maybe these two? are the missing ones?
In any case you can get these files yourself, but first you'll need this MPQ Editor. We're just going to extract all SC2 assets to some folder, you'll need maybe 20GB free space somewhere.
- In the editor, click "Open MPQ(s)".
- Navigate to "Path_to_SC2_Install/Starcraft II/Campaigns/"
- Select multiple *.SC2Assets files, opening multiple files is important it gives you an extra dialog box to keep adding more files
- Right Click the "Base MPQ" box and add MPQ's (all *.SC2Assets, *.SC2Data, *.MPQ files) until you've added all the MPQs from every folder in your Starcraft II folder. (most of the important bits are in the Battle.net, Campaigns, and Mods folders)
- Check "Merged Mode" and open the group
- Click the "Merged MPQs" in the left pane and then extract to wherever you have space
Once everything is extracted, you can browse all the sounds, art, models etc at your leisure. Since most of the textures are in .DDS format you'll need a picture viewer/editor that supports them. I use Irfanview, it has a thumbnail/gallery mode to browse them quickly.
If anything is unclear ask away!
It's a huge file, speaking strictly in pixel size. The map is full-resolution and contains all locations of powerups. The map itself I have found is best viewed with a lightweight image viewing program. I'm using InfranView
The only place I could figure to host it since the file is nearly 20MB large is an online drive, so it's on my OneDrive right now, which this link should share to. It might not be showing when you click on the link and you very well may need to simply download it from the drive.
Hope you guys enjoy! I loved Rick's maps but I couldn't find ALL of them together in one map, so I made one.
Cheers
The settings I use for ease-of-navigation in InfranView are:
1. View -> Show Fullscreen Options
2. Make sure that "Show Images/movies with the Original Size" is selected (Radio buttons at top)
3. Make sure that "Use Right Mouse Button for Scrolling (If Image Larger Than Screen)" is selected
4. Click OK
5. Press ENTER
6. Zoom with +/- keys.
7. Navigate with Arrows for quick jumps and right mouse held for more fine movement.
Have been using Interview for years meant mostly as a quick low overhead viewing program but has the capability of doing simple corrections and edits, certainly isn't a high end editor but it isn't meant to be, just quick and simple.
It is free, not restricted in any way it views almost all formats, there is a plgin pack for it (free also). lots of FAqs on the website.
You will be surprised by what it can do especially as it is free.
There are some free programs that do similar stuff that you could try: FastStone and Ifranview but I havn't used them personally.
Also, there is FastPictureViewer Pro which is only $50.
But even at $150, Photo Mechanic is a lot cheaper than a computer upgrade and usually provides a better performance upgrade as well.
I don't know WPV, so I guess that you're just looking for an able image viewing/browsing program. I use this one:
http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm
This one also comes recommended by many:
I don't have any MOVs here to test with, so I can't be sure but I think Irfanview can show images for movie files in its thumbnail view. Worth a shot, it's free and doesn't take long to install. Don't forget to get the plugins too. It's an excellent image viewer.
I use the windows 7 Snipping Tool - and it takes a lot of takes/practice to get right. For most of the time when I need it (like a drop down box). I am able to do it.
but there are also some utilities that do it, better - i think http://www.irfanview.com/ would work.
Don't think it can do PP or PDF, but IrfanView has a slideshow feature that handles pretty much all image formats. It's also my go-to image handling program in general. May not help you, but others may browse this and find it's what they're looking for.
Another item to note would be which ones are lossless. I would assume that PNG and GIF ones would be lossless, but knowing which JPG ones are lossy and which are lossless is important.
To add to the list, Irfanview (Windows, Free, Closed source) will do lossless jpeg optimization and rotation if the plugin package is downloaded.
You can use Irfanview's 'batch conversion' option to bulk convert image files. Just press B!
You can also look in Morrowind\Data Files\Splash to see the dimensions of the default splash screens.
Irfanview is one of the truly great pieces of freeware out there.
The only downside I've ever seen is that when you go to install it, some of the download sites try to trick you into installing some other crap. But it is pretty easy to spot and avoid.
It's been a while since I used Windows 7, but when I did use it, I used Irfanview to view photos and things. I think it should be able to let you look at RAWs, or at least show you their previews.
Irfanview is free for non-commercial use, 32-Bit graphic viewer for Win 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP, with multiple (animated) GIF support and Multipage TIFF support. Features print ...
There's a lot of games listed here, but the original question seems open to "Freeware Tools" as well, so I thought I'd mention Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/
A free, fast, simple image viewer/cropper/resizer, etc.
WINE - WINdows Emulator Wine allows you to run many native windows applications from within linux. While far from perfect - Wine is surprisingly effective when looking for that one Windows program alternative that you just can't find under linux.
Ironically, I've just started dipping back into the WINE pool (glass?) and have been playing Quake II through WINE for about the last week.
I also keep WINE handy for running Irfanview and DVDFab when the need arises.
Personal preference here, irfanview is a small, quick photo editor that's a hell of a lot less clunky than MS Paint for pasting, cropping and rotating images. It's not as powerful as professional image editing software, of course, but it meets all of my modest image editing needs. Also, it has plugins for actions like stripping EXIF metadata.
If you want a good, easy, lightweight image editor to rotate images before posting them, I suggest Irfanview. Or, you know, if you own a chiropractor business, this is a really strange way to gain clients.
I like Irfanview. It displays just about anything, and can save as just about anything. It also has some primitive editing abilities, too. Make sure you get the plug ins/add ons.
It can do video too, but VLC is better for that.
Press "PrtScn" to capture the screen shot to the keyboard, open your image viewer of your choice (I like Irfanview), press CTRL + V to paste.
As a side note, ALT + PrtScn will screen shot only the currently active window.

If you're using Windows Irfanview is what you want. It's very fast at batch processing for me, and I fully recommend it. I'm not sure what you would use on a Mac, but my first guess would be Google's Picasa for a free option, or iPhoto if it has that capability.
I replaced Windows Viewer with Irfanview which does play .gifs and allows you to do a lot of other things besides. I've found it to be a really useful little program for batch operations and organising collections.
Something like this would make a nice page background. You can use Irfanview to easily resize it. Original image I did the fade from.
I can't say for most casters, but I'm sure at least Day9 uses or used to use Irfanview. It's a very good and light image viewer, where you can set it to always be on top and hide everything except the image you want to show. Adjust the size and position and you're good to go!
Belt and braces - use a program such as IrfanView to embedded copyright information in the picture and write along the bottom that it's copyrighted , all rights reserved and who the copyright holder is . And don't post it to sites that state that you hand over the copyright .
I used a screen grabber "Snipping Tool" (something that came with my Windows 7) and copied the box from my browser.
Then I pasted it in IrfanView, highlighted the desired areas, Image>Effects>Pixelize
If you haven't played with IrfanView, I recommend it highly. Its perfect for quick image editing such as resizing, simple blurs and sharpening, simple generic effects, cropping, and changing file types. I use it when GIMP (or photoshop) is overkill, and I don't feel like waiting for it to load. Irfan loads fast, works smoothly, and is super easy on CPU/memory.
IrfanView: really simple to use image resizer/compresser with a good amount of options to tweak with. Batch tools are fast and simple too.
Nothing fancy, but really nice to have around when posting large images to websites/boards with image size limitations.
Hi Chris, the long "wait time" of the Sony recording a single RAW file is simply the nature of in-camera image processing hardware circa 2003. RAWs are big uncompressed files compared to JPEGs, and upper-tier pro bodies of that era weren't much faster (relying on large image storage buffers to improve performance). Sadly, other forums confirm that the F828's write speed is the same regardless of the memory card... so shooting RAW will require appreciating some patience.
I believe Irfanview is free and supports the Sony RAW format. Goodluck with the job search!
