PicView 3.1.2 has been released, showcasing its capabilities as a fast and efficient open-source image viewer. This software comes packed with a variety of features that enhance the user experience, including image effects, galleries, and detailed image information. PicView is designed to automatically adjust to different screen sizes for the best possible viewing experience, and it boasts a user-friendly interface that is straightforward to navigate.
One standout feature is the ability to toggle the user interface to display only the image by pressing Alt + Z, allowing for distraction-free viewing. Users can also customize their experience by turning hover buttons and colored window borders on or off from the settings menu. For images with transparent backgrounds, PicView allows users to change the background to a checkerboard, dark, or white background by pressing the T key.
The software includes 26 shader effects, such as negative colors and old movie filters, which can be applied to any image being viewed. Users can preview these effects before applying them and can easily copy them to the clipboard or save them directly. Additionally, if an image is set as wallpaper or a lock screen, the chosen effect will be applied as well.
PicView supports a wide range of file formats, including common ones like .jpg, .png, and .gif, as well as numerous uncommon formats, although the latter may take longer to load. Some of the supported formats are .heic, .svg, .psd, and various raw image formats.
Key features of PicView include:
- Setting images as wallpaper or lock screen with applied effects.
- Basic editing tools such as rotate, flip, crop, and file type conversion.
- Drag and drop functionality for files, folders, URLs, and archives.
- A scroll function for easy navigation through images.
- The ability to open files in external applications or view file properties.
This release of PicView not only enhances image viewing but also offers robust editing and customization tools, making it an excellent choice for users seeking a reliable image viewer. As technology continues to evolve, future updates may introduce even more features and improved performance, further solidifying PicView’s position as a go-to solution for image viewing and editing needs
