XnView MP 1.9.4 has been released, enhancing its reputation as a versatile cross-platform image viewer. This software allows users to view, convert, organize, and edit both graphical and video files efficiently. It is available for free to individuals, non-commercial entities, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations, making it an attractive alternative to commercial products.
The application stands out due to its support for a vast array of file formats, being able to read over 400 image formats, alongside various audio and video formats, and write to 50 image formats. This extensive compatibility includes support for ICC profiles in JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files, adding to its functionality. XnView MP also provides users with the ability to view IPTC, Exif, and XMP metadata, although it currently lacks a batch editing feature for IPTC metadata, which some users have expressed a desire for. Another limitation is that users cannot sort thumbnails within a folder according to a custom order.
In addition to basic viewing capabilities, XnView MP offers powerful search functionalities, enabling users to find files with the same filename or similar graphics. It also features histogram displays for images, and users can create scripts for batch processing, allowing for the conversion, manipulation, and renaming of multiple images simultaneously. The software includes a variety of image editing tools that facilitate color adjustments, size changes, filters, and effects. Notably, the full version incorporates Harry's Filters 3.0, enabling more advanced editing options.
Not only does XnView MP support lossless operations like rotation, flipping, and cropping of JPEG files, but it also allows users to create sophisticated slideshows. Additionally, the full version enables users to upload images to FTP sites or ImageShack and burn images to CDs or DVDs (with Nero Burning ROM required).
Overall, XnView MP 1.9.4 continues to be a robust choice for users seeking a comprehensive image viewing and editing solution, balancing a rich set of features with accessibility for non-commercial use. Future updates may focus on addressing existing limitations, such as batch IPTC editing and customizable thumbnail sorting, to further enhance user experience
