http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com – In my entomological work I often need to compare two images of bugs side-by-side. Comparisons are surprisingly hard to do with either of the image viewers I normally use, namely Eye of Gnome and Ristretto. First I open two instances of the viewer and adjust their window sizes and positions for easy side-by-side comparison. I then open one image in one viewer window, and the other image in the other window. If I want to zoom in or out, or pan across the images, I have to do this independently in each viewer window. If I don't save this two-instance arrangement on a dedicated workspace using 'S (General)

When I'm viewing many images w/ xv (sometimes in "visual schnauzer" mode), I sometimes want to "bookmark" or annotate a given image.

I don't think xv can do this, but is there another xv-like image viewer that can?

Is it possible to add "programmable hot-keys" to xv so that typing certain letters lets you call external commands (eg, "emacs ")?

When it comes to image viewers, one app is not always hands-down better than others. It is rare to find an image viewing tool that has every feature stockpiled on your wish list. So having a collection of go-to viewing tools to meet a variety of graphics needs is a better strategy. That said, the Geeqie Image Viewer goes a long way in keeping that set of viewing tools to a minimum.

Many images are only partially loading in the default Image Viewer application. All of the problematic files seem to be .jpg's and they all open in Gimp just fine.

I've looked around for similar threads and launchpad entries, but I can't seem to find anything.

The Eye of GNOME image viewer is the official image viewer for the GNOME Desktop environment. With it, you can view single image files, as well as large image collections. The Eye of GNOME supports a variety of image file formats. The GdkPixbuf library determines which file formats Eye of GNOME can load and save.

Hi. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x32 (downloaded it by mistake thinking it was the x64 version but alas).

I'm having several issues that I believe are because of the graphic drivers, as I have an hybrid AMD/Intel card (such as too much heating over the smallest things like watching a video, specially since last update). But I came here to ask about one in particular, that sounds quite bizarre.

MRIcron is a cross-platform NIfTI format image viewer. It can load multiple layers of images, generate volume renderings and draw volumes of interest. It also provides dcm2nii for converting DICOM images to NIfTI format and NPM for statistics.

I need a good image viewer that can view images that are 40,000x40,000 and several hundred megabytes in size at least. These are TIFF files. GIMP can open these but nothing else I've tried can; I often get the return "Image dimensions too large". but some viewers just fail.

I want a simple fast image viewer that can also print. gpicview doesn't seem to print.

My research so far has come up with the following.

gimp gpicview ristretto supports animated GIF gThumb fbi Shotwell qiv pqiv (scaled down version of qiv) imagemagick f-spot eog or the Eye of GNOME is a simple graphics viewer Geeqie Gwenview Mirage xloadimage

I've ruled out gimp beca
