What is Reddit's opinion of
XnView?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
44 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
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)
Download XnView. (a free image viewer)
Install XnView.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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/
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
What happens if you resize the png's first or convert to jpeg before creating the gif? If the file sizes are smaller and there's no artifacts, I'd rearrange the job order. In Linux, we can use the find command to batch edit; I don't know how it is in Windows. Worst case scenario, you can use xnConvert to do a lot of this stuff. http://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/#downloads
This is what I use: XnShell
The best part is that I never have to go find the program. I can just right click on an image (or a bunch of images) and convert them to whatever I want. There isn't a size limit because I'm not uploading then downloading images, which is important because tiffs are massive.
Just tested it on a 1.3GB tiff to 25.7MB jpeg which took 6 seconds.
This annoys the shit out of me. If you find a setting to turn it off, let me know. I have folders with nothing in them that show old pictures, and at points my trash can even had preview images on it of stuff that was long deleted. Restarting helped, but then for folders it came back.
I love Windows 10 overall, but it does so much quirky stuff that I spend a lot of time Googling how to fix things only to find people asking how they can fix the same things.
Edit: I'm using Sage thumbs, which doesn't change it IIRC, and I read you can combine that with XnView to replace them, but I haven't played around with it yet. For now I'm just going to change the problematic ones to a custom icon and deal with it later.
XnView is by far the best viewer. I can also do things like batch conversions (including filters). It is amazing.
Just realized is Open Source alternatives and XnView is not OS. Oh well, perhaps someone can find it useful anyway.
Here you go, each image compressed to just below 10MB (and now 5MB): gdrive folder
To do this yourself,
- Download and install XnView
- Open your image
- Hit File->Export
- Select "Optimize Huffman" and "Remove all Metadata"
- Move the slide so you have the highest possible quality while making sure the image size stays below 10mb
- Save
To crop your map in smaller pieces (30*30 Tiles recommended by roll20)
- Select a part of your map
- Click Edit->Crop
- Save the part of your map with File->Save As... or File->Export
edit: Note that currently there seems to be a bug in XnView when exporting JPEG. When you see the message "Error with JPEG" or a file size of 0bytes, you have to fully restart the application, then it will work again. Photoshop has similar functionality in the menu File->Export->Export for Web and I assume most Image Editors have a way to compress to a specific file size.
edit2: afaik roll20 has a file size limit of 5MB and not 10MB as you stated, so I added 5MB versions as well.
Yes you can! But don't use photoshop, resize it with a software name XnView. Photoshop has a bit lack of resize image (i dunno why but i always fail when resize image with it) :v
I use an app called XnView.
The method I use for resizing illustrations is:
- Image > resize > (new size) > resample [Gaussian]
- Filter >effects > enhance > enhance details
But there are a lot of other methods, so you might find something else works better depending on the images you have.
I don't think it supports any 32bpc format OOB...
There's an official Windows thumbnail extension for HDR (radiance) files. (note: if your images are large and on a network drive, this plugin may slow things down quite a bit!)
XnView can give you previews for even more formats (including EXR), but it's a bit overkill.
Another option is to associate HDR and EXR files with HDRShop or similar. It's not the same, but at least it loads way faster than Photoshop :P
The French guy that wrote it does a number of other fine products, including an Android app to resize photos, called Resize Me!, http://www.xnview.com/en/mobile/resizeme/ which is pretty good. Link me: Resize Me!.
Do you mean make the stickers themselves or send them to the bot?
I already have the following "howto" for the second one :
Well, then you could made the pack yourself quite easily!
1) Resize the images to 512x512 using http://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/
2) Upload them to the @stickers bot
3) You're done!

edit : formatting
I'm using a freeware tool to achieve this, http://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/. Very customizable and made specifically for this purpose, found it easier than configuring my batch scripts manually in Ps.
Either http://www.xnview.com/ Or https://creative.adobe.com/fr/products/bridge Xn convert is quite a tool IMO. Edit : I forgot to say both support "folder" task. Run a task on all pictures at once, export to renamed folder, search for bugs or discrepancies, polish those and you're done. I never had problem with quantity nor crashes so far. ~ 250 HD photos with PNG8bit progressive conversion, max height ~ 350px, auto level colors - takes 2 minutes max on my computer.
Nope. Not at all.
I documented my trip to China last summer by preparing (almost all) my pictures only with XNVIEW (recent Photoshop wouldn’t run on the old 10 year old laptop I carried), and you can the results are quite good (if you want to read the story, use the google translate widget on the page).
In case you only have Photoshop files but not the program itself, try http://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/ - free and direct download from the developers, nothing sketchy there. Use it for batch processing since 2 years.
My favorite shareware Xnview for all things simple and image related. It does an amazing number of things very well. The documentation is a little weak for the english version but it's easy enough to figure out.
XnView is adaptable and an excellent picture browser, it has basic editing functions, but, then I can use it to open pics in Corel, Photoshop, etc., for serious editing. Ifranview is also soli. FastStone is another I have been using to go through sequences... XnView: http://www.xnview.com/en/
This is XNView's homepage: http://www.xnview.com/en/
Standard XNView is only for Windows, but XNViewMP is for Windows, OSX and Linux. In addition to viewing standard images, it also allows the viewing of more... odd and uncommon images, such as animated PNGs, thumbnails in 3DSMax models, textures in Half-Life MDLs and various other odd images. It also supports playing audio and video and reading text files and PDFs. Unlike IrfanView, however, it doesn't seem to support opening raw images.
Cool, glad you like it.
Hey, if anyone wants to do the same thing, I can't recommend XnView enough. It's a really cool app. I depended on MS Photo Editor for years for simple resize and image adjustments. XnView does those plus it has a paint feature where you can block out things (like private information in Facebook screenshots, for example) and do other light painting. And it's free. And it's also available as a portable app so you can put it on a portable drive, or just try it out without mucking up your file associations. Anyway, get this, open a picture, and just hit CTRL+S to resize. Be sure to uncheck the top option, to let you resize to a different aspect ratio, otherwise the height will change with the width and vice versa.
Haha, I don't mean to sound like I made the app or something, but I think it's the best free simple photo editor. It's not as complex or powerful as The GIMP (a free Photoshop-like app) but it's got a lot more to offer than the Picture/Fax Viewer in Windows.
XNView batch processing would be my recommendation. I assume that what you need is flip horizontal.
I can tell you EXACTLY the problem.
The problem is that iTunes artwork size is 600x600 pixels.
When you have album artwork that is over this size displaying in the "scroll view" then iTunes will still display this image at a resolution of 600x600 pixels, but the over sized artwork will need to be scaled down to do this.
Because iTunes doesn't use a compatible anamorphic resolution for these images in the "scroll view" then they appear fuzzy.
This exact issue occurs on my laptop and desktop as well.
I'd suggest getting something like XnView to batch process the artwork into 600x600 pixels then reattach them to the music in iTunes, you'll then have your own artwork you want to use nice and crisp in all views.
I'm sure there are many different software solutions out there, but the one I could recommend would be XnView.
It has a batch processing mode where you can select any amount a pictures you want, apply any transformations (e.g. resize to 50%) and save with a specific quality. It's completely automated once setup and has saved me lots of time in the past.
