|  | | | "Much faster now"
by: BXF
XnView 1.98 Beta 3
Pros: REAL Color Management (i.e. using custom monitor profile), even for RAW/DNG files! There aren't many applications around that will do this.
Shows a lot of EXIF data, much of which is not available through other viewers, but require a specialized EXIF program. Also, items to be displayed can be user-selected. Very nice! Cons: Still Beta, so a few quirks are present, but no big deal.
Shortcut keys use numeric keypad, which is not convenient for me. Unfortunately, many shortcuts cannot be customized. Other Thoughts: This Beta is MUCH faster than the previous version I tried, and is now definitely useable for viewing color managed images.
I'd LOVE to have a left mouse click zoom and pan, as in Faststone and FastPictureViewer, since once you develop a taste for this feature you don't want to do without. Also, more control over shortcut key assignment. And finally, a side-by-side compare feature (a la Faststone) would make this "perfect".
For me, the above features would make this application unbeatable as a viewer.Was this review helpful?   40 out of 82 users found this review helpful.

by: BXF
Other Thoughts: Nice program, but much, much too slow when when viewing DNG files with color management enabled. IrfanView is much faster. FastPictureViewer is faster yet.Was this review helpful? 92 out of 171 users found this review helpful.

by: TSnake
Other Thoughts: Wow, I've been searching for a free image viewer for Vista for ages, this one rocks. It's great to have a true full screen slideshow (smaller images are stretched to fit the entire screen).Was this review helpful? 143 out of 231 users found this review helpful.

by: NookyDuck
Other Thoughts: Regarding aspects of speed, system consumption, trustworthyness and cost, this is the best you can get.
It's as good as ACDsee and is totally free. And I'd never use Picasa, as this is another spyware from Google.
Go with XnView and you won't be disappointed.Was this review helpful? 90 out of 166 users found this review helpful.

by: alpha1
Other Thoughts: This image viewer is great.
However, I agree with the previous reviewer that the default interface is ugly.
But if you use the gnome skin it comes with, it looks much better.Was this review helpful? 85 out of 168 users found this review helpful.

by: Jedijax
Other Thoughts: Great app, indeed, but you see, it lacks something very important to modern software: An atractive interface. Why do you think users spend so much a year in desktop gizmos and softwate? Because we all want our pc interface to look awesome!! It's not just a matter of how good/fast/adequate an application works, but also how nice it looks. Take Windows Vista for example, it hasn't become popular because of running and compatibility matters, but because of its looks, the very name "Vista" gives its purpose away!! This application is surely nice, but if its interface were up to today's aesthetic standards, I assure you its download hits would multiply. Take me for example, and I am not even a huge fan of how things look over how they run or what they do; although I like Xnview, since I don't need it that much, I keep my Windows Live Gallery for viewing and Photoshop for editing. If you made your GUI black and blue, with nice animations, etc., I would definitely ditch both of the aforementioned and never leave Xnview again!!Was this review helpful? 77 out of 173 users found this review helpful.
