Slideshow creation: One of the reasons we take photos is to show them to other people. A quick menu selection - no more than a couple of clicks - allows you to easily play with image colours and apply a wide range of filters and effects. ProsĮasy to apply filters and effects: It is remarkably easy to get quite dramatic results really quickly. It has a clean and simple user interface so that it's not daunting for beginners, but behind that lies a very powerful and useful application that might not have all the features of a high profile, professional image editing tool, but which does enough to meet many of our needs. IrfanView offers facilities to do all these things in one, small-footprint application. Some will need a touch-up before they can be used perhaps altering their colours, or adding effects, or changing their size, cropping, combining, there are many ways to make different uses of a single image.

We will want to show many of these images to others, perhaps individually, or perhaps in a slideshow - for example of holiday photos or family day photos.
