I think ArcSoft Photo+ would intelligently cluster key camera & lens settings like exposure time, aperture, focal length etc. (Zooming over a mouse-click point is the ideal behavior here.) EXIF presentation is ok but not great. Also, the zoom starts at the top-left corner of the image, not center. Zooming manually is easy (+/- keys) but there's no scale indicator. There's an "Actual Size" zoom option, but again it's like a 2x or 4x overzoom, not 1:1. I'll probably keep using this if I cant find anything better but it still has some annoying aspects: Lacks true 1:1. This app was exactly what I was looking for but my trial period just ended so Im out of luck now. You can download it and use it as a 2 week trial but they don't appear to sell activation keys anymore. Unfortunately ArcSoft doesn't support it anymore. In addition to everything above, it had a filmstrip that would auto-hide/unhide and a superb exif presentation with histogram.
If that's true then Photos app is a cruel joke.)ĪrcSoft's Photo+ : This. (And separately, is this seriously Apple's replacement for Aperture? Ive never used Aperture but my understanding is that it was basically equivalent to LR and very highly regarded. Google Picasa: Appears to create a database as far as I can tell lacks true 1:1 zoom. Xee: Workflow felt too much like Preview. (The so called "actual size" zoom option is far more enlarged than 1:1.) Preview.app: Have to do CMD-A (or preselect all pictures you want to view). Here's what I've tried so far, and my impressions: It's a great library manager but a poor slideshow presenter.
The reason I don't want to just use LR as a viewer is because it's slow. I don't want an app that creates it's own database of thumbnails (that's LR again).
I want a true 1:1 / 100% zoom (where 1 pixel in the image = 1 screen pixel).
I don't want to have to do CMD-A to select all files in the folder. I want to be able to double click a single photo in a folder to launch the viewer, and then jump to next & previous photos via the arrow keys. I want a photo viewer that's simple and quick. Google search found a thread here from a couple years ago but I thought I'd raise the question again and see if I can get some current recommendations.
