>>107268101For me it's Nomacs
Directory Opus is literally perfect for everything
IrfanViewhttps://www.irfanview.com/
>>107268101>>107270871Another vote for Nomacs here.
I would use the default photo viewer if it has gif support.
>>107268101Firefox.

I use honeyview and it just werks despite not being updated anymore
>>107268101>cropping photo>it moves the entire image while you adjust the linei'm gonna fucking scream
nomacs
>>107268101Windows photo viewer. Use the activation script
>>107268101I still just use the legacy windows 7 photo viewer for most formats.You can enable it with a registry tweak, the .reg file is a quick search away.
>>107272505Same here, I love being able to drag the imagea around from any part of it, not just the title tab, and without having to press Ctrl like some cattle.
>>107268101nomacs
>>107268101>>107272796This is the answer, it's absolutely worth the time to set up and mogs every other photo viewer I've seen shilled here. Enshittification is real
>>107268607Is there anything like JPEGView but with fluent design? Yes I know I'm a faggot.
Have any of you tried this?https://interversehq.com/qview/seems similar to jpegview very minimalistic. UI looks similar to Linux
>>107271148this is normal to a windows 10, windows 11 user
>>107271062>>107272796>>107274577>no gifs support>no webp support>actually no support for any format other than jpg, bmp and png>terrible caching, gets really slow in folders with a lot of files>ugly control bars visible at all time>useless boomer features like "slide show" or "email image" or "burn data disc" lmao>often fails to display images that load in Paint or any other image editor without problemsWhat's so good about it?
>>107275167you'll be a hipster retard
>>107275167>no gifs/webp supportIn that case I just fall back on the default viewer>actually no support for any format other than jpg, bmp and pngWhich is 99% of what you need. Also the odd old format like TIFF, not that it matters much.>terrible caching, gets really slow in folders with a lot of filesIn my experience it has always been equally fast even in folders with thousands of images.>ugly control bars visible at all timeNo worse than the default viewer>useless boomer features like "slide show" or "email image" or "burn data disc" lmaoBecause useless zoomer features like ads and AI integration are so much better.>often fails to display images that load in Paint or any other image editor without problemsI've only had a single instance of this. In fact, it can load images others can't because it mostly doesn't give a damn about corruption.It's on every windows computer and can be enabled in seconds. It loads faster, doesn't waste your time with animations, and allows you to zoom in much farther with sharp edges.I'm sure there are thirdparty ones that are better, but I can't be fucked when it's so easy and does basically everything I want. It's competition is the default "modern" one and it absolutely blows it out of the water.
>>107275343concession accepted
>>107275572>Which is 99% of what you needIf 99% of the images you save on your hard drive are from 4chanIs browsing 4chan practically the only thing you do with your life?
>>107276103>Is browsing 4chan practically the only thing you do with your life?isn't it for you??
>>107276140No, I use Nomacs because I view avif and webp images
>>107271062Photos app actually bricked itself randomly on a user's PC so I just turned on W7 photo viewer for him and called it a day. Thank you Windows 7.
>>107276152>I view avif and webp imagesDamn, have fun with your shitty transcoded samplesBasically nobody uses those outside of lossy conversions by cheapskate CDNs
>>107268101On 10 LTSC I just used the K-lite mega codec pack + ImageGlass.
>>107272505same but Bandiview and its up to date (free pro version)
>>107276321Do you also call VP9, AV1 and H265 shitty just because ancient software doesn't support them?
>>107268101ACDSee32 V2.43Demian/TNT!279663013321327
>>107276779Nope, they work pretty well for their purpose.Still images can't get away with multiple frames to hide artifacts, there are different tradeoffs. Abusing a video codec to horribly crush images is just plain bad, especially if you layer it with existing artifacts by converting a jpeg.If people actually used webp/avif as the source format, especially lossless webp which is actually decent, I probably wouldn't complain. But nobody uses it like that, and you can be damn sure if you encounter one in the wild it's a conversion of another format degraded to hell and back just to save a few KB.
>>107272505>>107276582>>107272543This and Faststone Image Viewer are the only correct answers
PIcasa was almost perfect.The only issue I have with it is that it does some weird scaling in how it renders the stuff behind the overlay in which the image preview is embedded.
>>107268101Microsoft Office Picture Manager
>>107268101I use nomacs, it's working fine for me
