XnView MP 1.9.5 has been released, enhancing its status as a versatile cross-platform image viewer designed for viewing, converting, organizing, and editing a variety of graphical and video files. This software is free for personal, educational, and non-profit use, making it an attractive alternative to commercial image viewers like ACDSee.
One of XnView MP's standout features is its extensive format support; it can read over 400 image formats and various audio and video formats, while also writing in 50 image formats. It includes support for ICC profiles in JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files and can display IPTC, Exif, and XMP metadata. However, the software lacks the ability to batch edit IPTC metadata, which some users have expressed a desire for, and it does not allow for user-defined sorting of thumbnails within a folder.
Additionally, XnView MP offers file searching capabilities, allowing users to find files with the same filename or similar graphics. Users can also view histograms of images and create scripts for batch processing tasks, such as converting and renaming multiple images at once. The software includes several image editing tools, such as color adjustment, size manipulation, and filters, with the full version incorporating Harry's Filters 3.0. It supports lossless operations on JPEG files, enabling users to turn, flip, and crop images without re-encoding.
Other features include the ability to create advanced slideshows, upload images to FTP sites or ImageShack, and burn images to CDs or DVDs, although burning requires Nero Burning ROM.
In summary, XnView MP 1.9.5 continues to be a powerful, user-friendly tool for anyone needing to manage and edit images, with ongoing updates expected to enhance functionality and address user feedback. The software remains a favored choice due to its comprehensive features and cost-effectiveness compared to other commercial alternatives. As image editing and organization needs evolve, XnView MP may expand its capabilities in future releases to meet the demands of its user base
