In the outdated times I has been a big enthusiast of ACDSee 4.0 , but it lacks of proper RAW assistance, because I always had issues with their buggy RAW plugin. The pursuing versions became slower and slower and slowly, not really workable in terms of quickness. Up coming I grew to become a consumer of IrfanView. It had been fast but the movie viewing capabilities were too sluggish on loading. Next I arrived to Picasa 2 which can be not really intended for a double click on in the explorer and get out of by pushing Esc. Too slow for fast folder browsing. My latest discovery has been XnView. It took quite long to startup and needed 2 instances Esc pressing.
Than I came to FastStone. The FastStone Image Audience 3.0 didn't offer you any pores and skin that had been looking great with my milky style. Although it acquired that issue with Multi-Pagé-Image-Files. Whén searching a folder, it constantly get stuck on these types of images (.tiff in my case ). But FastStone provides a smaller tool, known as FastStone MaxView 2.0 (free-ware). You can make use of it as a borderless windowpane which can make it installing into every atmosphere without esthetic issue regarding the screen manager style.
Why I like abóut it:
- get out of by pushing Esc as soon as
- exceptional magnifier customization
- very quick image browsing, even on big pictures ( 4096×4096 and bigger )
- relocating the mouse to screen edges brings up extra choices
- continuous scanning by holding down the arrow secrets
- blasting fast on browsing folders with RAW files ( making use of stuck preview images )
