JMC Photo Gallery

CNET Editors' review

You're a photographer, and your images are your livelihood. Or you've meticulously scanned and saved all the family photos and want to simultaneously preserve and display them. Or maybe you just don't like strange things happening to your files without your permission or even knowledge, such as your images being resized, their resolutions changed, or image information discarded. For these and other reasons, you may want to give JMC Photo Gallery a try. It's similar to other gallery software, including Microsoft's, but it uses newer technologies like WPF (Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0). It promises "Zero Worries and Zero Screw Ups." No matter what you do, intentionally or unintentionally, it never alters existing files. It uses multithreading to quickly load images and generate thumbnails and previews, and it accepts most common image and video formats. There are Slide Show and Movie Player features, too.

This small but efficient and capable gallery software downloads as a zip file but requires no installation; it's accessible immediately after extraction, which also makes it portable. As is typical of photo galleries, it has a stylish, up-to-date interface that neither overpowers nor detracts from the image displays. The program immediately locates image files on your PC and groups them together in angled displays for rapid scanning and sorting, or in more traditional library groupings.

JMC Photo Gallery is freeware that is certified for Windows 7. There is no Help file, and the developer's Web link was inactive when we tested it.

    "good but not quite there"

    April 13, 2010  |   By xhchenz

    Version: JMC Photo Gallery 3.1.1

    Pros

    work fine as a simple yet functional photo viewer, does not require installation, and I like the interface

    Cons

    work slow on my machine, not very responsive to clicks, and crashed several times while I explore the options

    Summary

    good bunt not quite there, there are a lot more free, light weight and more stable image viewer out there... I deleted it, gone back to my old photo organizer, but with a hope that it will get better someday, it has the potential.
