Viewer Software

[T. Carriker]

Any idea's on viewer software. I already use MGI PhotoSuit 4 which cost about 45.00. I also have ACD See which I like,and downloaded for free.
I use an OLYMPUS C-2040 camera.

Maybe it's just me, but you didn't mention Camedia. It's free with your camera and for viewer and basic manipulation it works for me. I also like MGI Photosuite but not really good for viewing. Someone sent me Irfanview and it works pretty good for viewing a series of shots, pretty good actually. What I find is, there isn't one simple software package out there (at a cheap price) they all have their pluses.

I have been using TruView for several years. It is shareware and can be downloaded from ZDNet. You can do some minor tweaking with it, but I only use it for viewing. Try this link:

I actually think Epson's Film Factory is pretty nifty, with a lot of features for the price. Don't let it's cutsie name fool you.

A few months ago I downloaded it for a 30 day free trial from Epson.com (go to the software link), then paid $29.95 to get the unlock key. I recently purchased a new Epson printer and FF was included.

The viewer is very effective. You can set up the software into "film rolls" to quickly find and sort through scads of folders containing photos, then group them into film cases ( ie. group the folders by themes such as Trips, Pictures of the Kids, etc.).

You can make prints in standard sizes in varying page layouts, photo albums, greeting cards, stickers, index prints and more. It has import and export features and basic photo retouching. Editing and exporting can be done in batch mode or one pix at a time. The web export feature appears to be a Photoshop 4 plug-in and works quite well.

I particularly like it's trim command which helps me with aspect ratios.

It's worth a look.
