Irfanviewer - A lightweight flexible image viewer and Editor

IrfanView is a powerful and lightweight image editing program that can provide a quick and free alternative to such graphic suites as Paintshop Pro or Adobe Photoshop.

About Irfanview

Supporting 68 different file types in the tested version, this program leads the way in flexibility for freeware graphics editing. Equipped with several unique features not commonly found in multimedia editing suites, it was the first graphics program worldwide to support multiple animated GIF files. With a single 340KB EXE file, this program is quick to load and requires no DLL support.

Convenient and oft-overlooked functions are found throughout the program. Some of the features that I personally found useful include the Reopen function on the File menu. This allows you to reopen the file you are currently editing, discarding all changes without having to close the file and open it once more.

Another unique feature is the ability to move from file-to-file by simply double right-clicking the viewer while in full screen mode. This cycles through the available images in the directory, a great feature for webmasters who have to deal with a lot of graphics.

Total hotkey support allows advanced users to harness the program's functions quickly and efficiently.

The only problem I found with the program was in its Red Eye Reduction feature; attempting to use it on a picture of myself, the red in my eyes stayed the same while part of my face was turned grey!

There are many different types of image effects you can add successfully, including:
