    "A good start!"

    February 18, 2005  |   By zridling

    Version: FastStone Image Viewer 1.7

    Pros

    A lot to love here with lots of great ideas. Plenty of keyboard shortcuts which significantly speeds navigation. Good design throughout and for what it does, it does it far better than Picasa  and faster!

    Cons

    (1) Although there plenty of keyboard shortcuts throughout the program, the menus have no ALT+keyboard shortcut and must be accessed via the mouse; (2) Smoothing slows down rendering between images; (3) In Thumbnail view, the image size and type cannot be removed, and there is subsequently too much space between each thumbnail; (4) No way to toggle the toolbar; (5) Cannot customize background color of thumbnails.

    "Outstanding basic feature list but weak on associated display features"

    February 18, 2005  |   By PicMan

    Version: FastStone Image Viewer 1.7

    Pros

    Attractive appearance. In slideshow mode, picture navigation can be by thumbnail, keyboard, or mouse. Panning and zooming are especially feature-laden and well done. Nice variety of transition effects. Nice ability to display picture information, including EXIF metadata. EXIF tag User Comment can be displayed AND updated. Picture background color may be set. Many batch editing effects are available. "Skins" may be changed.

    Cons

    No foreground or background audio ability. Very weak on captioning - only the picture filename may appear on pictures. Skimpy Help and documentation. Crude picture printing - no layouts, and only one picture per page, with no rotation.

    "Great for batch editing images"

    February 14, 2005  |   By heywood

    Version: FastStone Image Viewer 1.7

    Pros

    I was looking for a program to batch convert files between types. This program does this and more. It even allows for resizing at the same time as batch conversion. End result looks great!

    Pros

    I really enjoy the ease of this program. It works well and has an impressive amount of options for a free program.

    Cons

    It seemed awkward at first, but by the end of the first day, I was comfortable and happy with it.

    "lovely program"

    February 8, 2005  |   By svan

    Version: FastStone Image Viewer 1.7

    Pros

    Downloaded it smoothly and after about 5 days of use remain constantly impressed. Lovely to use. Much better than the HP Image viewer that came with HP scanner. Informative, easy, straightforward, has a valuable, very handy and decent size preview feature. Posibility of thumbnails next to image being worked on is nice. Saving files is smooth. Flexible interface. A pleasure to use once all the goodies are discovered. Cant wait to use the other downloads FastStone.

    Cons

    One thing i would prefer is to have the 'Acquire' button directly on the menu bar and not listed under the File tab.
