mickcarver1January 30, 2016
Pros
I downloaded this to use as a faster viewer than windows but then found out that to is a good free basic editor I like the one click preview button to see the after and before also the side by side comparison the resizer works well and the slide presenter
Cons
A bit nit picky I know but when you go into clone and heal mode the screen zooms in I would prefer it to be full screen and zoom into the area as required
Summary
A very good free program I am a in a camera club and recommend it to new members who are not sure how to start editing
People in FasStone know their job very well.

Pros
-Fast -Customizable -Very feature-rich
Cons
(don't know of any yet)
Summary
I haven't used it extensively yet but was just looking for a replacement for the Windows Photo viewer that was in Win7 but not in Win10 - they just have the 'Photos' app which is total garbage as a simple jpg viewer. FastStone is exactly what I was looking for. Opens and Exits effortlessly, has lots of hotkeys, appears to be extremely versatile and customizable. No wonder programs like this are never built in to Windows because those traits are polar opposites of what microsoft knows about. 5/5 from what I see.
nice but falls short
Cube OverOctober 15, 2015
Pros
It is free It is quick Nice shortcuts Did I say it was quick? It is very quick
Cons
Does not support color management metadata (AdobeRGB JPEGs do not look right). Even Windows built-in viewer does! Does not _properly_ support SIGMA X3F RAW; even though it opens them, the weird color tinge is too strong.
Summary
About 2 years ago I have donated in order to support its development. I have not seen development in the two areas of my interest (color spaces, X3F support). As a result I am not using it.
ACDsee killer nr 1
