PicView 5.1.0 has been released as an Open Source image viewer that prioritizes speed and user experience. This version introduces a range of features designed to enhance image viewing and editing. Users can enjoy various image effects, galleries, and detailed image information, all while benefiting from an interface that is both intuitive and easy to navigate.
One notable feature is the ability to toggle the user interface to display images in full screen by pressing Alt + Z. The program also allows customization of display settings, such as changing the background color for images with transparent backgrounds to a checkerboard, dark, or white option by simply pressing T.
PicView supports an extensive list of file formats, including popular types like .jpg, .png, and .gif, as well as less common formats such as .psd and .raw. It also includes 26 shader effects, allowing users to apply filters like negative colors and pencil sketches to images, with the option to preview effects before applying them. Additionally, users can copy effects to the clipboard or save them directly to their devices, and these effects carry over when images are set as wallpaper or lock screens.
More features include basic editing tools for rotating, flipping, and cropping images, as well as the ability to change file types. Users can utilize drag-and-drop functionality for files and folders, and the program supports scrolling through images. Furthermore, PicView allows users to open files in external applications, view file properties, and even use a color picker.
In addition to the main features, PicView offers helpful guidelines for restoring the Windows Photo Viewer, managing folders in the Windows Photos app, and modifying context menu options on Windows 10 and 11.
Overall, PicView 5.1.0 is a robust tool for anyone looking for a fast and versatile image viewer with a wide range of editing capabilities and customization options. Its open-source nature also invites contributions from the community, promising future enhancements and updates
