[QUOTE="twistkill, post: 1909311, member: 411693"] Hi. Just got my first Mac a few weeks back and I have felt like throwing it into the wall multiple times, every day. Lots of disgruntled ex-windows users here, same as me! Good thing, that Apple made it out of one single block of aluminum. :) So here is what I use Irfanview for- [LIST=1] [*]Click on any image in a folder/desktop, it opens, use arrow key to sift thru all the all the images - deleting, renaming, sharpening, resizing, etc along the way. [*]Using hotkeys to resize, crop, flip, sharpen, go fullscreen, move, copy to other folders- basically use hotkeys for almost everything. [*]Draw a rectangle and crop, cut, copy parts of an image. [*]Use resample function to resize images [*]Batch convert, rename, resize, etc. all the images in a folder at once. [/LIST] As you can see, Irfanview is, foremost, an image viewer with a bunch of editor functions built in. And I am not even going near plugins, file compatibility, EXIF editor, etc - those kinds of functionalities. But can anyone recommend me an app that does what I use Irfanview for? I understand most of the features are probably in "pro-features" category, so finding a like for like free alternative is unlikely. Please don't say that Finder can do #1, Preview can do #2, Photos can do #5! Even Windows can do that part by part. But is there even a reasonably priced app out there that does what Irfanview does? Free would be a bonus, as I am starting to realize during my few weeks with a Mac. [/QUOTE]
