I started looking for another free program that would read RAW files quickly and still have the features that I missed in IrfanView.Дuring my research, FastStone Image Viewer kept coming up as an option, so I decided to give it a try. So last week I finally got fed up with the limitations of IrfanView.

Keep tuned for another review of some software I found just this week! If you canвЂ™t wait for Windows Photo Viewer to take 5 seconds each to load your RAW files, (not to mention, run the risk of crashing your computer from CPU overload.) then Irfanview is still a much better option, even considering the cons. ItвЂ™s very annoying when I forget, and it scrolls through half a dozen pictures! To zoom, you must hold the CTRL key, then zoom with your mouse wheel. When I want to check for focus, I normally use my mouse wheel to zoom in, however, the default mouse wheel action in Irfanview is to scroll to the next picture. then hit Enter to confirm, then I have to hit the arrow key to get to the next image. When I delete an image, it wonвЂ™t scroll to the next image. I donвЂ™t know how much of a con this really is, as I only use it for previewing my personal photos. it doesnвЂ™t bog down your computer like Lightroom does. You can set it to read the actual RAW file, but then you might as well use Lightroom, as far as speed is concerned.)Д¬an read almost any image/audio/video file under the sun. (NOTE: As far as I know, it actually loads the preview JPEG embedded in the RAW file. It can load a RAW file in less than a second. IrfanView is free for educational use (schools, universities, museums and libraries) and for use in charity or humanitarian organisations.ДЄs far as speed, Irfanview would be hard to beat. IrfanView is provided as freeware, but only for private, non-commercial use (that means at home). Some free software that I have used is Irfanview I have heard of Adobe Bridge, but IвЂ™ve never used it.
