I currently use PolyView, but I think its the source of some memory problems I've been having lately. I would like a program that has buttons to move through a directory (so if I'm viewing a bunch of picutres I don't have to go file->open every time), and one that creates animated gifs. A slide show and full screen view mode would be nice too. And it must do all this stuff free because I am cheap. Any suggestions?

I usually use thumbsplus and then picture it to edit and print. If I open and close either a couple of times it's just a matter of time before memory runs too low and a reboot is necessary. Recently I just started using acdsee and it doesn't use near as much memory as thumbsplus, but it also doesn't have the features either. But either thumbsplus or acdsee are easy to view pics and has slide shows or you can just hit the space bar to move through them once made full screen. But they're not free.

Check download.com for image viewers and gif makers, I'm sure there's many there and some free. Best animated gif maker is psp, but it's not free either,hehe.

I've been using ACDSee since it first came out and it still does the job well for me.

Second the ACDSee

I don't know if <a href="http://www.irfanview.com/">Irfanview </a> will doe all you want but it's worth checking out. It's free too.

ACDSee, tho I've been meaning to test out Irfanview.

ACDSee here as well. I love being able to scroll thru pics with the mousewheel...

Well damn...you guys have me wanting to go download it now. I general just use IE or Photoshop if i have it open.

Time to go download and see what the big deal is about!

I'm just using the image viewer that is in WinME, it has thumbnail preview, zooming and everything. I know W2k have the same feature. So what I wonder is if it's worth downloading ACDSee?

I haven't tried it myself and it would be good to know if it's worth it before d/l'ing.

For graphics creation I use Macromedia Fireworks 4, Photoshop 6, PSP 7 and FLASH 5.

Paint Shop Pro 7 or Adobe Photoshop 6

Win2k thumbnail preview, IE 6, Photoshop 6.

ms photo editor... i had acdsee back in win98 days, but im too lazy to reinstall it. okay youve convinced me, i'll do it later.

paintshop pro 7

opens everything i need on 1 screen, works fine for me.

Micrografx picture publisher 8. I only use it because it resizes well and does graphic comparsisons as to how far you want to JPEG an image before you do it..
The prog came wth draw 6 witch is useful and some webtricity crap ill never fugure out..

Im with Blade, I use Thumbs ver 4.10R.
