Interesting - never worked with this program before.

Anybody other than the cheapskates here use it? :)

I recommended it to you in our recent email exchanges. I use it as my
default image viewer. It's fast and easy. I don't bother with any of
it's
editing capabilities. I've got much better tools for that. But for a
down
and dirty viewer, it can't be beat.

Yeah - that's what made me try it actually - I remembered it when I
found a CD that had a bunch of old RAW files on it - Windoze won't
open it and Adobe's workflow is so stupid it takes too much time.

Interesting program.

It's just so fast and efficient. I like how with a simple press of the
enter key, you toggle from windowed to full-screen mode. I only use it as a
viewer, but even at that level there's a lot of flexibility once you get to
all the properties and settings. It will also compile self-contained
executable slide shows you can give to anybody to run, whether or not they
have the program installed.

Ungrateful - I know.

Thanks - now I've got it sussed.

I like it so far - very handy for resizing and just viewing photos for
tagging.

I wonder if they accept donations - I'd give 'em $20 for their
efforts.

I use Irfanview for all of my image chores. In addition to all of the
things mentioned, I use the panorama feature to make composites of maps
local with regional views. I use it for the software front end for my
scanner. I use it to create multi-page tif files when I have scan multi
page documents. (I have a flat bed scanner) In this way I can fax one
file with several pages, not multiple faxes to get all of the pages sent.

I have all of the filters installed and use them occasionally in trying
to read tombstones. I do a lot of genealogy research.

Kewl beans. Mrs. Wave is into that also. She's got twenty years of
research into her family and mine.

She's got the whole thing laid out in a family tree. Here's an
interesting factoid. My Mom's family is from the mid-West, my Dad's
family is Mayflower descendants from Salem, MA.

About 130 years ago, there is a connection between the two families
by marriage. Then it repeated with my Mom and Dad.

Now here's the thing that's really weird. If you go back that same 130
years, there is a marriage connection between Mrs. Wave's Father's
family and my Mother's family in Ireland. Repeated again by Mrs. Wave
and I.

Absolutely astounding and like totally weird.

Yes. Been using it for years. It used to be free, but now it costs a
little. Nice, quick program for very, very basic editing, which is about
all I'm capable of. Great for slide shows, and will handle most formats of
video also. I'm using version 4.1. Don't know what the latest is.

Do it. They'll love you for life. And, they're *very* responsive if you
have a question. It'll be money well spent.

Keith, I am in the process of looking for a flatbed scanner. I'm looking
mostly at the Canon 8800 or 5600, but haven't settled on one yet.

Any recommendations?

(Or from anyone else, for that matter.)

Also, the idea of using Lview as a front end for the scanner sounds
intriguing. I hope I can get more information once I get the scanner.

Whoops. My boo-boo. It's still free. I sent them money, but it was a
donation.

Really, what part of the country. I have a lot of old records, SS,
Death, Military etc for NY and surrounding states. My parents did
Genealogy for close to 40 years. We are clean back to the early 1400's
in several of our lines.. I'm related to the Wright Brothers.. and
like almost everybody, ;) one of the King Henry's...

My parents spent several summers in gaveyards, libraries, and town
halls...

Are you related to Kevin Bacon? :)
