1. Photo Viewer And Importer For Mac Os

I'm searching for a good photo viewer. 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. I want a photo viewer that's simple and quick.

Photo Viewer And Importer For Mac Os

Apr 10, 2017  Question: Q: Simple photo viewer for Mac. Hello Everyone, I am a new Mac user (Macbook Pro). Is there a simple photo viewer in the Mac OS that is similiar to the 'Windows Photo Viewer'? The MS Windows photo viewer allows you to view photos at full screen and easily scroll back, forth and delete with one or two clicks. Question: Q: Simple photo viewer for Mac. Hello Everyone, I am a new Mac user (Macbook Pro). Is there a simple photo viewer in the Mac OS that is similiar to the 'Windows Photo Viewer'? The MS Windows photo viewer allows you to view photos at full screen and easily scroll back, forth and delete with one or two clicks.

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 don't want to have to do CMD-A to select all files in the folder. I want a true 1:1 / 100% zoom (where 1 pixel in the image = 1 screen pixel). I don't need editing capability.

I have a huge LR library for that. I don't want an app that creates it's own database of thumbnails (that's LR again). The reason I don't want to just use LR as a viewer is because it's slow. It's a great library manager but a poor slideshow presenter. Any suggestions?

Here's what I've tried so far, and my impressions: Preview.app: Have to do CMD-A (or preselect all pictures you want to view). Virus checking for mac. Doesn't have true 1:1 zoom state.

(The so called 'actual size' zoom option is far more enlarged than 1:1.) Xee: Workflow felt too much like Preview. Google Picasa: Appears to create a database as far as I can tell; lacks true 1:1 zoom. Photos.app: Creates database. (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. If that's true then Photos app is a cruel joke.) ArcSoft's Photo+: This.

THIS is/was the perfect image viewer. In addition to everything above, it had a filmstrip that would auto-hide/unhide and a superb exif presentation with histogram. Unfortunately ArcSoft doesn't support it anymore. You can download it and use it as a 2 week trial but they don't appear to sell activation keys anymore. This app was exactly what I was looking for but my trial period just ended so Im out of luck now. Sequential - This is ok.

I'll probably keep using this if I cant find anything better but it still has some annoying aspects: Lacks true 1:1. There's an 'Actual Size' zoom option, but again it's like a 2x or 4x overzoom, not 1:1. Zooming manually is easy (+/- keys) but there's no scale indicator. Also, the zoom starts at the top-left corner of the image, not center.
