You might like the freeware program called FastStone Image Viewer. I have used it for years, and I love it.

I'm not aware of any advantages the ImageBrowser et al have over FastStone. FastStone works easily enough, and can do quite a bit of good editing if you want. I don't personally like modifying things as much as Photoshop users do.

I had the same problems with Image Browser Ex on Win10. I haven't had a lot of luck with FastStone and doing Batch Conversion of CR2 Raw images. I tried a batch tonight and it decimated all of them. I haven't researched much into it, as what I was trying to do should have been straight forward. I've played with settings trying to get it behave, but I have had no luck.

I generally find myself needing to import my images into Photoshop and save them to get the results I want, but that can be tedious. I don't do a lot of editing, but spend more time with the camera import tool, then maybe some additional lighting touch up and noise reduction.

I'll have to see if I can put the old Zoom Browser on.

If you are shooting raw, Canon's Digital Photo Professional will do a much better job batch converting CR2 files than Faststone Image Viewer. The latest version 4.6.30 can be dowloaded from here http://support-th.canon-asia.com/contents/TH/EN/0200526902.html

Canon have produced some rather good video tutorials to help us understand DPP4, they can be viewed here http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/product/canon_software/dpp_video_tutorials.do
