OT – Best quick .jpeg viewer?

Up until now I’ve been using an older version of LViewPro (1.b2 – for Windows
3.1) for quckly opening up
.jpeg files. Unfortunately though, many newer files won’t open up with this, and I need a new viewer,
preferrably one that opens *quickly* with little overhead or clutter.

Computer? Operating system?

i use acdsee classic for 90% of image viewing
its fast, and along with having support for PSD files, the thumbnail view is one of the quickest i’ve used… you can get trials of later versions as well, but they tend to be a bit sluggish

here’s a link to the download page…

mainly will use it as a way to

look for specific .jpegs in a folder.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Freeware: Irfanview

Non-freeware: ThumbsPlus

Those are probably the only two things that get used as much or more than Photoshop on my system. 8^) I have Irfanview associated with JPG because it’s fastest to view. I use Thumbs for organizing and for conveting psd to jpg because it does a better job than Photoshop.

Irfanvview would be my first choice. http://irfanview.com It’s Super fast and supports most formats, even movies!

Someone also recommended I try SlowView which is now Mediafile Assistant (MFA) and is no longer free!

Aye, IrfanView it is then; thanks for the suggestion (also thanks to everyone else as well). It is indeed
small and quick; perfect for it’s intended usage.

I bid goodbye to my old faithful viewer, LView for Win 3.11, that carried me through so many systems and
years, both good ones and bad ones. It’s been having issues with newer .jpgs for a few years now, so it
was time to go. It’s nice to have something good to take it’s place.

Thanks again,

Jon

That’s true, but I find my XP system is always pausing to re-generate the thumbnails, which can be annoying when I am browsing folders with a lot of pictures.

Even though I’m now using Photoshop 7, I still use my old copy of Paint Shop Pro v5 to browse folders with non-work-related pictures I don’t intend to edit, like photos from Halloween or the last vacation trip, etc. Probably because it was my first really effective thumbnail-based picture browser.

You might have thumbnail caching turned off. I think it’s Tools > Folder Options

View > Do Not Cache Thumbnails. Mine regenerate when I enter the folder, but

as long as I don’t leave it I can scroll up and down through hundreds of pictures and it doesn’t pause.

Yeah, if I leave the folder open I can scroll as much as I like once they’re done too. I’d just like them to pop up right away, or stay as icons. I’ll check the settings to see if I can get things working well.

Thanks for the tip! 🙂
