IrfanView has long been one of the more popular freeware image-editing applications on CNET Download.com, and with good reason. Other than the fact that everyone loves freeware, IrfanView comes in multiple languages and packages a range of features to draw in beginners and keep the more advanced users interested.

You also can't discount the lovably homegrown interface that, to me, anyway, underscores the app's birthright as one developer's pet project (it matches well with the author's photos of his Bosnian hometown on IrfanView's Web site.) This video takes a quick look at IrfanView 1.4, which has added editing tools and an effects preview window.

In the post, you say 1.4, but I think you mean 4.1, not to be nit-picky, but there is a big difference between the versions. Also, IrfanView is great, and recommend it to just about everyone!

Is it just me or is the video not loading at all? I tried many times and still isn't able to view it. Overall I think IrfanView is still a good program, I have it on my laptop and it never bugs me :)

If It is more popular it means it works good and good in service.
