Windows Style Photo Viewer For Mac
Is there an equivalent of Windows photo viewer for the mac? I don't want to edit images in it, I just want to view in full screen and to go forward and back thought the images, with simple options to 'view at 100%' 'flip left/right', 'enlarge' etc. This is not big difficult stuff right?
I've played with iphoto and dislike it enough to delete it, you can download free apps better than iphoto. I've tried both preview and quick look but don't like them at all.
If I select an image it always opens in 'preview' but the 'previous/next icons are always blacked out? If I use 'quick look' I can move forward/back using the keyboard but it never opens full screen, it always opens to the 'fit screen size' and then really irritatingly jumps about in size all over the place depending on the next image size. It's ok if I drag it to full screen, after which it acts pretty much like windows viewer except there are no options to open an image in an editing app, view at 100%, enlarge, flip left/right etc. In short it's a poor viewer, I guess that's why it's called quick view uh? Is there some amazing mac facility that I'm missing here. I could just about live with 'quick look' if it always opened full screen but can't see any way to do this. Preview IS the Apple version of Windows Viewer and its more powerful opening PDF, editing, JPEG, TIFF and other formats.it will even do audio!
Oh and clearly you don't get iPhoto it is a viewer light editor and photo image database. Again far more powerful than Windows Viewer.
Infact its data storage is based on industry standard Aperture. Quick view is effectively a built in PDF/inline viewer tool within the finder than allows just about any document to be viewed irrespective of format.Probably nearest to what Windows Viewer actually does It has no editing tools and that not its function. To open it full screen you hold the ALT key whilst clicking the document in finder You DO have the opton to open in a specific app at the top of a Quickview window by default it usually says Open Preview however just right click and a list of all potential applications are then listed. You then choose the one you want. When you select an image from the finder to open in Preview that's exactly what it does- Opens that specific image.
Update Photo Viewer For Windows 7
IT does NOT load the entire folder because its a separate application - NOT part of finder! Again you need to work through iPhoto its really has more going for it than you think and no there really aren't better FREE apps out there. Oh and why the need for full screen viewing - THAT really is a windows hang out. MAC OS is designed such that windows open to the maximum size to display content rather than a locked full screen model by default.
