Irfanview 3.98
A new version of Irfanview (3.98) was released around Christmas. Irfanview is a freeware image viewer and batch processor developed by a well-wishing guy in Bosnia. For freeware, it has an amazing feature set, though it has about as simple an interface and fast load times as can be attained. I have most common image formats associated with Irfanview for fast viewing, instead of opening a super fat photo editor each time I want to take a quick look at something. I always use it to do preliminary formatting on images from my digital camera (especialy lossless JPG rotation), and find other simple uses for it from time to time. It is a very small download: very much worth the time to try it out. And free is a very good price! For what it does (viewing, batch processing and renaming images), it is one of the best. Obviously, don't expect to be able to create complex images or compositions, for that is not its purpose. Click here to visit the Irfanview home page to see the feature list and free download.
