Still they are all three free and if you include Picasa, I’m sure you find one of them fits very well, maybe even a combination of 2 or more, because each may be strong in different areas and be useful for different tasks.īyron – One of the things I take into account before installing new software is if there is a good support forum in case I need help with it, and I’ve noticed that FastStone doesn’t have any (even Google doesn’t find one). XnView does open on last folder no matter what but its interface is a bit more clunky, equal to Irfanview I would say but overall not as capable but I tend to use if more than Irfanview because it also integrates the viewer with the thumbnail browser better.

But when you are blogging, you want to do your graphics quickly and does that very well. I’m an experienced user who would be smart enough to use full Photoshop if he could afford it.
