Everybody recommends IrfanView, but is really the "desktop linux" (in tnat old derogatory sense when it was for nerds) of image viewers: endless configurability (with important things like color management off by default), strange navigation (How again do I switch images when zoomed in?), etc...
It's like Total Commander: efficient and good in a way, but not in a way of modern streamlined UX that e.g. Apple software was once known for.

- thrower123 7y agoI'll admit, I have no idea how to do anything advanced with it, but I like it because I can double click almost anything that is an image, from old Deluxe Paint files, PICs, RAWs, TIFFs, whatever, and it'll try to open it and put something on the screen, usually successfully.
