Instead, when one clicks on the image it simply fills the screen but without providing some way of zooming into a section of special interest. Why FastStone doesn't have this feature is truly perplexing. The next in line for the throne is IrfanView, its difference from VuePrint is that after you map out the square you have to click on the square for it to enlarge/fill the screen-essentially it's an extra step, albeit a small one. With the mouse, you'd just map out/make a square of the section of the image you want enlarged then release the mouse key and voilà that area would fill the screen-a most invaluable feature for highly detailed/hi-res images. The 'Rolls Royce' viewer in that regard was always Hamrick's now-defunct VuePrint Pro*. However, unfortunately, I don't use FastStone Image Viewer for one very simple reason, that being the clumsy awkward way it scales images to view, essentially you cannot select a portion of an image to view as an enlargement. It even has a scaled-down version of my very favorite Photoshop adjustment tool: Shadow/Highlight but unfortunately which doesn't stretch to having tonal width, radius and midtone contrast adjustments a la PS. It has many useful features such as histograms, an excellent tree / file view with images, thumbnails or details mode and such which are quite on par with XnView.įurthermore, it has basic image editing which is fine for quick touch-ups. I rather like FastStone Image Viewer, it progressively gets better every time I come to review it.
