Need lightweight photo viewer

i need a good photo viewer that will launch in a second when executing a .jpg image
I would like just a couple small features. If i open that image inside a directory, i want to be able to use the arrows on the keyboard to navigate through the images, and need a zoom feature. other than that, i dont want albums, photo editing, or anything else bulky. i can edit my photos with photoshop cs5. i just need a viewer for arch.
any suggestions?

thanks, the gpicviewer works good, its nice and lightweight. the only problem im having with it so far, is i cant scroll through the images, once i open one, using the cursor keys, nor the mouse on the arrows in the image viewers GUI. what can i do about this? i would like to be able to open an album directory, and open the first image, then scroll through the rest.
as far as "this" at a first glance i thought you were referring to the gpicviewer, then i realized its a link to another post, my bad. is it feh? ill check that one too. thanks!

Officejet pro 8000 wireless will not print from windows photo viewer. all other diagnostics ok.

OS is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. All functions and printing are ok with this unit, excepting for printing through Windows Photo Viewer. Have latest software, drivers, etc., and all HP software and hardware diagnostic tools check out ok.
Checked Windows event log, and get Event 350, PrintService - Document failed to print and was deleted because of corruption in the spooled file. The associated driver is: . Try printing the document again.
There is no additional info on this event listed in the Microsoft TechNet Events and Errors Message Reporting Center
When this happens, all of the lights on the printer flash very rapidly.
To correct, I clear the queue through Explorer, Troubleshoot, and unplug printer to reset.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

FYI, I got this to work by treating my printer as a wired printer, even though it allegedly has wireless functionality. Luckily, my ohter devices can print to it wirelessly. At least I don't need to replace my printer just yet...

Photo viewer lost after firmware update

hi
im using nokia 6303i classic and recently updated my firmware 6.60 to 7.10 and i lost all the applciations including photo viewer, calculator, converter, opera mini and all others which are built in phone memory. kindly help me, if anyone can send me the backup?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As previously stated it simply could be a faulty installation. All you need to do is to reinstall it. For the missing applications, go to getjar.com and choose from the different calculators, converters, photoviewers and other apps available for your phone. Just install new ones.

Photo viewer not displaying photos properly

when i go to photos viewer n open any pic,d pic open wit a blur image n a ring on top of it keeps rotating keepin d pic in blur state. When zoom the pic shows properly but d ring still keep rotating. However not able to view d pics in small size. Its just keep it blur state.

Haven't figured it out yet, but will post if I find a solution.
The problem is, I'm trying to find a solution to a whole host of other problems on my N97, e.g. The problems I'm having with GPS (Maps 2 and 3 are both currently unusable), the problems I'm having getting my widgets, email etc to detect which connection I need using etc, the problems I'm having with reception, the problems I'm having with my ringtone etc. So this photo viewer problem is just another issue to add to the list.
As for the Facebook App, if I take a picture using the camera link within the application, it won't let me upload anyway, so I've stopped using it. I just use the standard Facebook Mobile site as the Nokia Facebook App is so slow, it's borders on useless.

N8 Video Player and Photo Viewer not working prop...

Hi I just got a N8 a few months ago and its been going great until a month ago.
My video player is not displaying any the videos that I had on the phone or any of the videos I try putting on after. I then tried the photo viewer (it displays video as well for some reason) but that didn't have any of the videos and only some of my photos are being displayed.
I previously had the problem with the music player where it would be stuck on the music updating screen (not frozen) but I solved that by looking through the net and finding that you delete a certain file and it fixed that.
Thanks

Photo Viewer for Mac

Is there an equivalent of Windows photo viewer for the mac? I don't want to edit images in it, I just want to view in full screen and to go forward and back thought the images, with simple options to 'view at 100%' 'flip left/right', 'enlarge' etc. This is not big difficult stuff right?
I've played with iphoto and dislike it enough to delete it, you can download free apps better than iphoto. I've tried both preview and quick look but don't like them at all. If I select an image it always opens in 'preview' but the 'previous/next icons are always blacked out? Why?
If I use 'quick look' I can move forward/back using the keyboard but it never opens full screen, it always opens to the 'fit screen size' and then really irritatingly jumps about in size all over the place depending on the next image size. It's ok if I drag it to full screen, after which it acts pretty much like windows viewer except there are no options to open an image in an editing app, view at 100%, enlarge, flip left/right etc.
In short it's a poor viewer, I guess that's why it's called quick view uh? Is there some amazing mac facility that I'm missing here. I could just about live with 'quick look' if it always opened full screen but can't see any way to do this.

Preview IS the Apple version of Windows Viewer and its more powerful opening PDF, editing , JPEG, TIFF and other formats.it will even do audio !
Oh and clearly you don't get iPhoto it is a viewer light editor and photo image database. Again far more powerful than Windows Viewer.
Infact its data storage is based on industry standard Aperture.
Quick view is effectively a built in PDF/inline viewer tool within the finder than allows just about any document to be viewed irrespective of format.Probably nearest to what Windows Viewer actually does
It has no editing tools and that not its function.
To open it full screen you hold the ALT key whilst clicking the document in finder
You DO have the opton to open in a specific app at the top of a Quickview window by default it usually says Open Preview however just right click and a list of all potential applications are then listed. You then choose the one you want.
When you select an image from the finder to open in Preview that's exactly what it does- Opens that specific image. IT does NOT load the entire folder because its a separate application - NOT part of finder !
Again you need to work through iPhoto its really has more going for it than you think and no there really aren't better FREE apps out there.
Oh and why the need for full screen viewing - THAT really is a windows hang out. MAC OS is designed such that windows open to the maximum size to display content rather than a locked full screen model by default.
That said if you look in to top right of the window bars click those two divergent arrows you go full screen.
Sorry to say you really have to change your work flow else you may just have to go back to Windows .
As for alternative image viewer depends how much you want to spend and from the sounds of it nothing !

Issue with Windows Photo Viewer: "can't save picture because an unknown error occured"

Hi,
I recently installed Windows 7 RC (Build 7100). I quite often have an issue in Windows Photo Viewer when rotating an image and trying to go to the next picture. It gives me the error "Windows Photo Viewer can't save picture because an unknown error occured".
Seperate from this issue: when I delete a picture in Windows Photo Viewer, it is still in the Windows Explorer overview of files. This did not use to be the case in Windows XP?
Kind regards,
Frederik

Hi
SOSv2 ,
This should be fixed in Windows 7 RTM.
Also, you can install Windows Live Photo Gallery to view and rotate pictures as well. To download it, please click
HERE . For more information about Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can
a question on
Windows Live Answers
In addition, please understand that Nikon RAW images (and most Canon) do not support rotate functionality in Windows Photo Viewer, and thus rotate is
disabled. To rotate those types of images, the user will need to use an image editing program that fully supports their RAW codec.
Regards,
Linda
I am using Win 7 x64 Ultimate RTM and still have this problem (with JPG's dumped from my Nikon to the hard drive). Doesn't do it on every one that I rotate, but still very annoying. Is there a fix?

DPI and image quality in programs like Windows Photo Viewer

I'll keep this as short as possible. About 6 years ago I bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-F28 digital camera (not DSLR). It claims 10 MP. After that my daughter bought a Canon Rebel (don;t know the model) which has 12 MP. I would compare her pics with mine by looking at them in Windows Photo Viewer. Hers always looked a lot fuzzier than mine. Especially true if you zoomed in. And I gave her a hard time, saying she had bought a knock off.
I just purcahsed a Rebel T5i with the usual kit 18/55 lens. I took a picture with both the new and the old camera. Guess what? Given the same subject with the same lighting, the Panasonic still produces much clearer pictures in Windows Photo Viewer than the Canon. The only difference I see is that the Canon states the DPI as 72 and the Panasonic as 180. OF course, the Canon image has a lot more pixels.
I know that DPI matters only when a picture is printed. But is it possible that the DPI property in the image file is telling Windows Photo Viewer how to present the image? I hope so. Otherwise I lucked out with my Panasonic and got the best camera in the world, or a Canon is not so great after all.
Do I need to apologize to my daughter? See attached images.
These images are opened in MS Paint and cropped to bring out the eye and hair detail.
Panasonic Image
Canon Image

You comparison method is seriously flawed. For 1 image to be at 72 DPI (a software supplied setting) & the other to be at 180 DPI it means that one image has been enlarged (180 divided by 72) 2.5 times more than the other to view it on screen. Zoom in on the good image until it's 2.5 times larger & see how it looks.
Next thing you need to know is that camera technique becomes more important as pixel count increases. an 18 Mpixel image will have an 80% increase in softness over the 10 Mpixel camera from identical camera shake. To make any accurate form of comparison you will need to eleminate the possibility of introducing camera shake into the test. You will also need very similar lighting & the subject must also be stationary for all test shots. (IE that eye (or the person it's attached to) may have moved during one shot but not the othern

W7 Photo viewer- frustration

I have Windows 7 Pro. I do not see the "rename" in the Windows Photo Viewer, including in the file options. I want to DIRECTLY rename my photo through the viewer. You could it in Vista.
I already know allll about the changing Views/previews in a Folder, batch name, the tab rename, etc in folders. I know the spilt screen style- resize folder/viewer, to see both--- not want I am asking for. I am NOT asking for the folder methods. Save
As
ONCE again, I want to *directly* rename my photos in the Photo Viewer. I don't want to have to go to folder every time to rename. How to I enable it? What do I need to buy, download, uninstall, or reformat? Do I need to install the Vista viewer?
If its permanently removed, why??

Hi DeepStarW7,
We may rename the photo name in Windows Photo Viewer through Files->Properties, then on the
General tab, type the name that you would like to change:

Iweb photo viewer

Hi,
I made my website in Iweb 3.0.1 and want to display some photo's. Unfortunately, I don't like the theme/template of the Iweb and I would like to use another one for example something like this: http://michielbrouwer.com/index.html (click UNHEIMISCH)
I'm NOT familiar with html and java so I'm looking for a photo viewer that I can easily drag into Iweb and update my photo's onto.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Roddy,
Thank you for your patience and also your kind email.
I will ask the question on here for now, but if I need more in depth question I will email you.
1. How do I upload my "portraits" folder to the root folder on my server at Godaddy? I went to my godaddy's account page, but couldn't locate anything where I can upload a folder... Do I simply call them and ask them? If I have to, what specifically do I have to ask for?
2. Do I have to copy everything (even the last part where it says "Your browser does not support IFRAME...") below and change the necessary URL and height & width?
<IFRAME SRC="http://www.website.com/FAExport/index.html" WIDTH="750px" HEIGHT="750px" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
Once again, so sorry for asking so many questions... and thank you very much for taking time to help me out.

You need to change your file association to open .pdf files with Adobe Reader instead of the photo viewer program; see Change the program that opens a type of file - Microsoft Windows Help

Hi,
It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.
Thank you.

Windows Photo Viewer desaturates the edited photos from Photoshop?

Do I need to change a color profile in Adobe Photoshop CS6 to prevent windows photo viewer from desaturating when viewing them after edit? I gave some edited and unedited pictures to a customer and it desaturated the edited pictures but not the unedited images.

Well...
The answer is simple! Go to EDIT>COLOR SETTINGS
At the bottom you can see "Advanced Controls" - Uncheck "DESATURE MONITOR COLORS BY"

Photosmart B209a and Windows Photo Viewer, a bad combination.

The Win7 Windows Photo Viewer has the ability to set the paper size, quality, and paper type. It works with a photosmart D5160 but it doesn't work with the B209a.
With the B209a, It sets the paper size correctly but it doesn't set the print quality or type of paper correctly. The print quality always is set to normal and the type of paper is always set to plain. I can get to the HP printer properties by clicking on "options" and then "Printer properties". I can seem to set it to best quality and HP Premiums paper on the HP printer properties window, but it's all a mirage. If I return to the Photo Viewer window and once again go to HP printer properties, the settings revert to normal quality and plain paper. The actual prints are normal quality with grainy stripes across the picture.
To print high quality photos, I need to use another program like Paint.
Is there a solution?

that seems to have worked for me, but the inactive screen is still blackened, do you think the photo viewer doesn't fully support dual monitors? I also noticed the picture is the same display size as the primary monitor, as in whatever size is is during
a slideshow on the primary is the same when switched to the secondary.
I could juy st tap the window key to get the primary back, but then the unused portions of the secondary revert to the background...this seems like a strong candidate for a windows update that actually changes the way the OS works... can I has some cash
now?
hey, MS, WTF?

Can't see event titles or project titles when looking at photos in the photo view in Aperture 3?

Howdy,
I recently switched from iPhoto 11 to Aperture 3. The only drawback so far is I am unable to view Project Titles when I am viewing all of my photos in the photo view. In iPhoto, I often would look at all of my photos in photo view while displaying the event titles. Is this possible in Aperture? Also, is there a simple way to view the file names underneath the photos in photo view instead of seeing the version name?

Hi Greg. Welcome to Aperture and the Apple Aperture users forum.

You should set up all seven of the Metadata Overlays to meet your needs. (iPhoto is designed as a turn-key operation for those who prefer their meals prepared; Aperture is a kitchen for those who like to cook.)

Have you looked at Projects View (click "Projects" at the top of the Library tab of the Inspector)? You can group your Projects by Folder or by Year, and you can sort them in a number of ways. There is no information pane which shows up on Aperture as you scroll (as there is in iPhoto).
Projects View, imho, add tremendous functionality to Aperture. You can add descriptions to your Projects (and these are included in searches) via the Projects Information window ("{Shift}+i" with a Project selected.)
