Best Picture Viewer?

What is the best picture viewer that is most accurate with color? I do photography work and with results I get in Lightroom and when exported. Using window picture viewer, everything looks a lot darker than it should be.

Give XnView a try...

Tbh, I've never noticed much difference, only that the pictures are better quality on the mac downstairs, but thats just because my windows monitor is terrible

I have used FastStone Image Viewer.

In general, FastStone Image Viewer is useful. It also runs on Windows 2000 (unofficially).

A major problem I have had with FastStone Image Viewer is with the printing of images. To many printers FastStone Image Viewer can print, but to some it fails (like the Sharp MX series printers/copiers).

Minimal version of XnView: http://www.xnview.com/en/downloadwin32.html


Here's how I set it up:


Default buttons are saved in the default.bar file.
C:\Documents and Settings\[Name of User Account]\Application Data\XnView\
or
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\XnView\
or
C:\Users\[Name of User Account]\AppData\Roaming\XnView\
