ACDsee 4.0

first of all haven,t tried any other software b,cas i found this very handy as per my requirements.

4.0 was superb it,s find duplicates option was what i loved most.I used something called power pack suite which comes with plugins like image fox and with a cool image editing tool too.(cant remember name though:S)

Now they r doing version 9 right,but after 4th one i found all new versions r buggy.

Nowadays we don,t use image viewing software eeh ,cas no time 2 mess with Jpgs

I've moved to IrfanView because it is very fast in rendering the images. It doesn't use antialiasing filters as most of the other viewers use. IMO, for just viewing purposes, that extra bit of quality improvement is not worth it, if it takes too long to render the image. Eg: it takes only 200 milliseconds to render a 4MPixel image in my PC with IrfanView.

ACDSee Pro 2.0 (still in beta) also has a very fast image rendering engine, but it's still in the beta and it crashed too often.
