TeeJay3800 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I much prefer Faststone Image Viewer. Me too! I don't know why so many are so stuck on IrfanView when such a better alternative exists. I hardly ever see someone mention a favorite photo editor/organizer other than IrfanView. Dell Latitude D600 Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Augeas Posted July 18, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2008 You get free drugs with Irfanview? Which bit do you have to fill in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm still using version 3.91. Only version i ever had. Really haven't got a reason to update. It's my default picture viewer. So i mainly use it for viewing pictures, pasting screenshots and cropping. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 18, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2008 You get free drugs with Irfanview? Which bit do you have to fill in? Get the plugins, I think you need poppinpills.dll, and possibly snort.8bf, they may be configurable however that may cause adverse side effects which aren't covered under the EULA.

papajoe Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I have downloaded Faststone, and it looks very good. However, I like the Irfanview feature that permits you to type text on top of the photo. I looked at some old family photos recently and no one could figure out who some of the relatives in the photos were. You can avoid that by typing names and dates on top of the photos. So Irfanview is useful for that purpose. I don't believe that Faststone has that feature? So far I have been using is Picassa2. I like the ease of basic image adjustments, sending e-mails or uploading to a web album. So it works great for me, so far. My Question: As I am new to digital photography, I am curious as to what features Faststone has that attracts users to choose it over these other programs. As I get further into digital photography I'll probably want more features, so I would like to start off with the most useful program. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
