Free Irfanview For Windows 10

[Emmaline Sasportas]

Scrolldown to "Choose default app by file type", wait for a while until it loads, and scroll down to jpg or jpeg, depending on your file extension. Click on the application currently listed, and it should provide you a list of applications to choose from. Select the application you desire, and you're all set.

You need to run iview.exe as administrator, set your associations, and then you can go to control panel, type associations, and it will then let you select iview as the default photo viewer. This even works with the portable version.

I really hope this is a bug and not a microsoft push for their Photo viewer.I tried to set the associations from infranView but it failed, because in windows 10, there is a "feature" that prevents apps from changing it.

When I open an image in photoshop it look way different than in windows photos (darker in photoshop) ? I ended up downloading irfanview (a few photo app from the app store) and the photos look identical to windows photos so still different from photoshop (see snips of photos below). I'm not sure what to do but I would love for a solution to this problem. I have changed and played with color settings and went into my windows settings to calibrate. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Photoshop is color managed, while Windows "Photos" and Irfanview are not. So they will never match completely. Photoshop uses your display profile to send corrected values to screen. The others just pass the RGB numbers in the file straight through, uncorrected.

I'm using windows 10, connected to a server using bash. This server runs unix and it have eog and gwenview to display images. I can't use this programs in windows, so I was looking for one that does the same in windows. I tried IrfanView but I don't know how to use it, I don't get the commands. Like in Unix was something like: eog xxxxx.png and then the image was displayed. How can I do that in windows?Thank you so much!!!

I downloaded Irfan View and the EXCIF and IPTC plugins and was able to input data into all the fields, Keywords, Categories etc and save it as when I reopen that image in Irfanview the data is there, however IF i email myself a test read of the same image, the IPTC data that I had entered doesn't appear to be there??

How did you email the image to yourself? Did you mail the original imagefile (after the modification done by IrfanView), or did you resize the image to a smaller size with a "save for web" or "save for email" option of some program? ... (Such options usually strip off exif- and iptc-data) ... If you wish, you can email me such a file (that you test mailed yourself ... (use the "e-mail to" interface in Pnet to send me a small mail, and I'll reply, so you have my mail-addr).

If you want IPTC (and eventually EXIF) to be part of an image that you resized (shrinked) for web/mail use, you should look for a program (like irfanview) that allows you to keep or discard these sections of the file. (Eventually the program you use now also allows to keep IPTC).

(If you use save-as within irfanview, and if you have switched on the "show options dialog" field, you'll see a number of checkboxes to include or exclude certain parts of the metadata when storing the final image)

If you prepare images for a special use (eventually upsized an image), there is still a chance that IPTC was stripped off. Check the final image of such a workflow with Irfanview to make sure IPTC is still available. (or add it at that stage).

If you do such sizing operations more often, you might need a program to transfer metadata from an original image (with IPTC prepared when postprocessing this image) to a resized image. ... "jhead" and "exiftool" are such programs ... albeit both only give you a commandline interface.

There is no item to REMOVE the icon per se, the icon is shown based upon which program is going to open the file. By installing a new progarm, the p;rogram may or may not cause the icon to change to the icon for that particular program.

In my copy of IRFANVIEW 64 on Win7, I can click on OPTIONS, FILE ASSOCIATIONS to enable or disable which files it will associate with by default. That association will change the icons for that file type. On Win10 you may be directed to another way to set or reset them.

These associations (which program to use to open a particular file based upon its extention - JPG, JPEG, AVI, etc) control which icon is displayed. On a clean windows system, Microsoft sets these to their own programs or programs which they have preloaded on a system.

When you install certain programns, they may modify these associations to use their own program and icons. Thus when you installed Irfanview, it adjusted those associations. That program allows you within its options menu to set or reset the associations the the system has stored. Microsoft also allows you to change them within the operating system itself as I mentioned above with Default Programs (which would remove all the associations of an individual; program) or by choosing a particular file type of a file in FILE EXPLORER and change (say just JPG or JPEG or whatever) to a different program. If there is no other choice, Microsoft often just uses a default program it decides upon. One can also (with proper knowledge) access the registry and poke the bits to chnage the association of individual file types.

An alternative is to uninstall Irfanview, which should reset all associations. Then reinstall but when offered an option to set the file associations for all files the program can open, to make changes or not allow the chnages to be made.
