Like the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, most other browsers will let you
zoom in to check details (usually a magnifying glass symbol, as seen above).
This feature is what most Airborne Photographers will use to review their mission
photos to ensure they meet all mission objectives. You will also be looking for
proper framing, proper focus, and color and contrast. Again, be sure to review
your photos before deleting them from your camera’s media card.
Additionally, from the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer you can open an
image into Window’s basic “Paint” program. This simple editing program lets you
crop an image, adjust colors and insert lines, boxes or text. [Note: You can also
open Paint by choosing Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint.]
7.1.2 Other Free Photo Browsers
Some basic photo browsers can be downloaded from the Web, such as
IrfanView (
www.irfanview.com), Paint.net (www.getpaint.net), Picasa
(
http://picasa.google.com) or Kodak EasyShare (www.kodak.com). These
programs support most file formats, have a thumbnail/preview function, allow
batch renaming, and have basic editing features (e.g., cut or crop). You can print
or e-mail directly from the programs, and most let you make simple edits.
