CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This free program provides a number of helpful tools for working with digital photos. XnView's pane interface shouldn't disorient most users, as it uses a tree-like structure to let you view your shots and browse your music collection.
Our lone complaint on this front is that the more complex effects and filters aren't accessible via the main window and require you to double-click a shot before you can use them. Besides standard tools for rotating images and renaming files in bulk, this app also can convert pics among a wide variety of formats.
In addition, you'll find tools for capturing screenshots and creating basic slide shows, as well as a simple audio player. We were excited to see a utility for generating Web galleries, but we quickly despaired when we couldn't get it to work. Still, we recommend XnView to digital photographers who already have a first-class editing program.

Version: XnView 1.97
Pros: I've been an avid user of XnView for years. The changes just keep getting better. I've tried Photoshop or just MS Paint. This program is just easier with lots of additional features that MS Paint doesn't have nor do you have to pay to get.
Cons: Zip, zilch, nada . . .
Summary: Whether you're advanced in digital imagery or just a beginner, did you need something to help get those pictures just right? Don't bother with anything else. XnView has everything you need for free.
