Thought id post this for general discussion. Are there no cool picture / photo views around?
There are unlimited amount of photo editors, and some very awesome ones. But I've never seem to come across a really cool "VIEWER".
You can goto channel9.msdn.com and see a clip showing some super cool photo viewing tools. You go to the Mac OS X page and select "Core Animation" and see a clip of some sweet photo animation action. But what are we left with? Just a bunch of weak "Viewing" tools.
Here is a list of the most popular picture viewers from a poll taken at WinMatrix.
IrfanView [ 53 votes ] ** [29.28%]
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer [ 46 votes ] ** [25.41%]
Picasa [ 38 votes ] ** [20.99%]
ACDSee [ 9 votes ] ** [4.97%]
XnView [ 8 votes ] ** [4.42%]
AhaView [ 2 votes ] ** [1.10%]
FastStone Image Viewer [ 10 votes ] ** [5.52%]
Photodex Compupic [ 7 votes ] ** [3.87%]
Ashampoo Photo Commander [ 1 votes ] ** [0.55%]
Other (Please specify) [ 7 votes ] ** [3.87%]
I think now adobe has come out with Lightroom.
How cool is Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? Its almost tying for 1st place.
None of these that Im aware of have any awesome effects, Just your run of the mill no frills slide show grade shool animation picture viewers.
Someone tell me im missing something?
