You did not list 'full screen viewing' as a requirement (though you might want it). Quick Look (ie, the Finder) gets you very close. 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. That all said, if this isn't too inflammatory, does anyone care to offer what image viewer they use and why it works for them? Seriously, that's useless!!) Another mistake: it uses the file creation date for the 'Image Created' field, not the actual Capture Time. (example: Exif from my Canon G15 jpgs contains 'Sensing Method One-Chip Color Area'. Very easy to read. Sequential's exif report is like a blind dump of whatever junk the camera wrote. 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). 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.
