One of the most famous and powerful graphic viewers you'll find on the current market is ACDSee (yes, you pronounce it just like the famous rock band).
ACDSee is an image viewer that also comes with a few editing functions. It's very easy to install, but you have to create an account to verify your free trial (that needs email confirmation).
The interface of ACDSee 14 is quite different from older versions (we remember using ACDSee 10 a long while back), but in the good way. Navigating and editing pictures is so much easier now, and its response time is much faster.
There are four tabs - Manage, View, Edit, and Online.
In the Manage tab you select the images you want to view and edit. Labeling them is also possible, in order to prioritize files and easily spot them in folders. If you select an image without a label and switch to View mode, ACDSee will throw in all images found in the same folder as the one selected by you.
You can also import image files from external drives, batch convert, rotate or resize them, instantly create a slideshow, rate images, and others.
The Edit tab lets you play with a few editing features. For example, you can repair an image (e.g. red eye reduction), add text, borders or special effects, and others.
The special effect feature includes a wide selection of artistic, colored, distorted, painted, and other type of effects, that you can instantly test on the image, thanks to thumbnail preview.
CPU and memory are fairly used.
So, if you want a strong graphic viewing tool that will almost never disappoint you, try ACDSee 14.
