Quick View is an easy way to just view an image, but if you want to do more that just view it use Preview.
#Resizing photo software for mac mac#
Yes, I hate Mac Photos and barely use it, although it has lots of good editing stuff too. Really the biggest thing is changing your thinking - things are just done differently here.
I missed Irfan View when I moved to Mac, but if you look and click around your Mac you will find it's all here, just set out a little differently. You can also easily resize there and the choice is sticky, so if you choose 800 wide, for example, it will default to that each time. Add it to your icon bar if it doesn't show now. Look for the icon that looks a little like a tool box or old fashioned Doctor's bag.
You can delete the duds with command-delete.Īs for sizing, cropping and minor edits, you can use Preview. Order the photos by date, modified, name, etc. Arrow keys, left/right or up/down, depending on your view, list, icon (and in icon you can move the slider at the bottom to big view and it's usually good enough to recognize the real duds), flow, etc. Just navigate to your pictures folder, select the first pic then press the space bar. Usually I just need to resize very large JPEG files by telling either the largest side in pixels, or just entering the percentage of original size.įor quick viewing you can use the Finder. I have absolutely perfect one on Windows, but on Mac I could not find a reliable, fast and small program for this. Imagine shuffling through a day's work of pictures from camera's SD card - you want to go through all pics quickly, and delete bad ones on the fly, right from the viewer window.Īnother program I am not able to find is a simple JPEG resizer. Deleting image file right from the viewer would be a very useful feature, too. Does any of you know of such a simple photo viewer for Mac? I need it to be very fast, simple and allow me to go to next photo in the directory by pressing arrow key. Built-in software "Photos" is also not suitable, as when I tried using it, it required me to "import photos" to it's own library, and ended up duplicating all of my quite large pictures collection on my Mac's internal SSD (which is not very big).

This is kind of the most basic function in any image viewer (even built-in Windows image viewer since Windows XP has that!). Something like IrfanView on Windows would be ideal! Built-in "Preview" program would be fine, but it does not allow to go to next picture in the directory by pressing arrow key (or any other way). I am quite new to Mac and Mac OS, and although I have found most of the software I want, I am having serious trouble finding light and simple image viewing program for Mac.
