Image Viewer Overview
(Freeware)
Image Viewer was originally designed purely as a viewer for weather satellite images.
The reasoning was that it takes too long to assemble the traditional type of 'slide show', with transitions, music etc that are not needed for the purpose. One of the other problems was speed. Most slide show makers will not allow you to view the show with transitions of less than one second.
Enter Image Viewer, with:
- Transitions of as little as 1/10th of a second. These can even be changed as it is running!
- No laborious compilations needed, just select the images and away you go.
- Essentially a simple viewer designed for speed, but not for permanence.
Now we have added support for BMP (Bitmap) and PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files in addition to JPG files, so all those Snagit captures of Nessie can be viewed as well, and even your family snaps! We also added GIF images as well because we use this for Met Eireann rain radar pictures. (Each to their own!)
This is the screen you will see when you start the Image Viewer program.
There is no restriction to the size of file, or to the number of files that you can load. The reason for this is because the files are actually only 'loaded' one at a time. The Image Viewer program maintains a list of the files, but does not load them until required.
The Image Viewer program can cope with a mixture of landscape and portrait images, and resizes to suit the images being shown. Just in case the first image is portrait it checks to see if there are any landscape images and resizes to suit those otherwise the landscape images would be very small.
