Picture viewer recommendations?

[cafevincent]

I've been using ADCSee (3.1 mostly and I've tested all the later versions) but I'm not pleased with any of them. They just can't properly enlarge an image to fit the screen because they do it without filtering. I've lost any hope of actually seeing a version of ACDSee that would have this fixed so I ask you: What choices do I have?

ACDsee32?

It's all I use, I just don't enlarge picts much.

I have not yet found a faster, more usable program than ACDSee Classic.

ACDsee Classic? Is that newer than 3.1?

Goddamnit, I opened this thread in the expectation someone would have posted a link to some Opensource/otherwise free program that does what ACDsee does so well but better

Irfanview is free and quite capable.

Xnview is nice.

It supports HDR too.

I'll second that. It may not have all the bells and whistles of ACDSee but everything important is there and it's FREE.

Thirded, I use IrfanView as well. Works like a charm.

IrfanView is just fine, also Picasa has some nice features

Well I've never used ACDsee but you could try GIMP or GNU Image Manipulation Program, which is free. (I don't know if it does it any better than ACDsee though).

Add another vote for Irfan here. Excellent freeware.

Well its been some time since I tried irfanview so I tried it again but it still doesn't match the easy image browsing/viewing interface of ACDsee

No, ACDSee Classic is just the last version of the ACDSee 2 line.

Xnview is nice.

Why yes it is
I found it via a different forum & was just going to report it here but I see now that I was preceded.

I have now selected Xnview as my official ACDsee replacement
