This software allows you to create nice-looking photo galleries for the Web. You simply select or drag and drop folders containing images or movie files onto JAlbum, and it creates thumbnails and HTML pages to publish your images as a gallery or as a picture slide show. The galleries are based on various templates, and their appearance can be further customized by advanced users. The application's additional features include support for IPTC/EXIF data, style sheets, lossless image manipulation, pluggable image filters, and a built-in FTP client.

ImageViewer is a simple Open Source app to view standard image formats.

It is designed to be fast and efficient for those who want something a little better than their default viewer. Images are displayed from a simple interface that shifts tool buttons from the top of the screen to the left and right side margins. The background is slightly transparent by default. All the standard tools are there; zoom, rotate, trashbin, etc.

Release Notes

We are pleased to announce the release of Memory Pictures Viewer v1.65. There is a significant change under the hood as we replaced the Map Viewer which was based on Internet Explorer to the one based on Microsoft Edge.

Interner Explorer has been discontinued by Microsoft earlier this year and it would be completely disabled on February 14 2023 on Windows 10. As such, to ensure that Memory Pictures Viewer continues to work in the future the change was essential.

However, if you are using Windows 8.1 or earlier and have not installed Microsoft Edge, you can continue to use v1.64 which is based on Internet Explorer control

Darktable is an open source photography workflow application and RAW developer. A virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers. It manages your digital negatives in a database, lets you view them through a zoomable lighttable and enables you to develop raw images and enhance them.

License:  GPLv3

Changelog

The Big Ones

The following is a summary of the main features added to darktable
4.2. Most of these features are described more fully in the user manual.

    New Sigmoid display transform module, which can be used in place of
    the filmic and base curve modules.

    Two new algorithms are provided in the highlight reconstruction module:
    "inpaint opposed" and "segmentation based". The "inpaint opposed"
    algorithm has proved to be very stable and provides good results in
    many images, so it replaces "clip highlights" as the new default algorithm.

    The pixelpipe used for image display in the darkroom view has been reworked
    so that it can be used elsewhere (darkroom view, second display window,
    duplicate manager, style preview, snapshot routine). This has allowed
    for code de-duplication as well as enhancement of many of these features
    (see below).

    The second darkroom image window has now been enhanced to support both
    the focus peaking and ISO-12646 color assessment modes.

    The snapshot module has been entirely reworked so that, instead of using a
    fixed screen capture it now uses a dynamically generated view using the new
    pixelpipe functionality. This means that it can now be zoomed and panned
    with keyboard/mouse.

    The duplicate manager previously used a different pipe routine to calculate
    its previews (i.e. when long-pressing on a duplicate image thumbnail) which
    often meant that the displayed duplicates differed from the main darkroom
    view in subtle ways. Use of the new pipe routine now means that these previews
    will be identical to those produced during darkroom editing.

    It is now possible to preview the effect of a user-generated style on
    an image before applying it. Simply hover over the style name in either
    the lighttable styles module or the darkroom quick-access menu and a
    new tooltip will appear, showing the image with the style applied along
    with details of the modules that are included.

    Some cameras record lens correction information within the image
    EXIF metadata. The lens correction module has been enhanced so that
    it can extract this data and use it to correct lens distortions.

    darktable is now able to read and write JPEG XL images

    Processing and utility modules have been altered so that if a module is
    not entirely visible when expanded, it will be automatically scrolled
    until the entire UI is visible on screen.

    For users who currently use the "scroll to the top when expanded" preference
    setting to achieve this effect, this change may provide a better alternative.

    As part of this change, a new animation effect has been added when
    expanding/collapsing modules. The speed of the expand/collapse animation
    can be controlled via a preference setting
    ( preferences > miscellaneous > duration of ui transitions).
    Set this to zero to disable the animation.

    The pixelpipe caching functionality has been completely overhauled. More
    cachelines are used with an improved hit-rate while controlling
    the total amount of memory used, leading to a significantly faster
    interface.

    The slideshow has been rewritten for a better user experience.
    A small preview is displayed while the full image is computed
    to provide feedback to the user that something is being done in
    the background.

    A new drop-down menu has been added to the top filter bar to allow
    filters to be easily added and removed. Some range widgets have been
    removed from this list as they are not easily readable on the top bar.

    The UI of the range rating filter widget has been reworked for better
    readability. This revised widget is designed to be easier to use
    and more efficient.

Other Changes

    Added support for manipulating shapes without using the mouse scroll-wheel
    (for tablet users). The mask manager has been enhanced with a new collapsible
    section containing controls for changing shapes properties.

    It is also possible to change a property that is shared by a group of shapes.

    The circle and ellipse shapes have also been enhanced with new on-canvas
    controls to change the mask size and feathering.

    WebP read support has been added.

    Embedded ICC profiles are now supported in exported WebP files.

    Double-clicking on a notebook tab now resets all widgets within that tab.

    Regional date/time format is now supported in thumbnail tooltips.

    Lua commands are displayed in a widget's "action" tooltip.

    The SSE code path has been removed from the white balance and
    output color profile modules as compiler defaults now provide a
    similar speed.

    Added support for JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) file extension
    (which is an extension of the JPEG standard).

    The preference to auto-apply a sharpening has been removed. For users
    who still require this functionality, it can be easily achieved with a
    user-generated auto-applied preset.

    Added support for updating existing pictures in Piwigo export.

    All white balance presets have been migrated to an external JSON file.
    This should not affect the module's operation.

    The preferences to set the layout of the "color balance module" and the
    colors of the "white balance" module have been removed from the global
    preferences dialog, as these controls are already available directly within
    the respective modules.

    Improved profile support for AVIF & EXR format. Also relax AVIF
    reader support by not requiring full compliance.

    The current collection image count is now shown in the top bar beside
    the image filters meaning that it is available even when the top hinter
    area is hidden.

    Attempt to obtain the color-space for PNG files from the cICP chunk. This was
    added in a recent revision of the PNG spec, so we take advantage of
    it, if present.

    Reading of 16-bit half float for the TIFF format is now undertaken using
    the Imath library.

    The format and storage parameters in the export module can now be mapped
    to shortcuts.

    Introduced balanced "OpenCL vs CPU" tiling. This makes it possible to
    use CPU tiling if there is not enough memory on the OpenCL card
    (which would require a lot of tiles to be handled on the card). In the
    end, the large number of tiles plus the overlapping area would make
    the use of the OpenCL code path slower (or much slower) than
    handling the image without tiling on the CPU.

    In preview mode (when pressing Ctrl+w) the image
    information overlay display block is no longer shown by
    default. Moving the cursor within the top half of the preview image
    will cause the overlay to appear, and it will then disappear again
    after a brief period.

    Light patterns are set for Behringer b-control midi rotors
    (BCR2000/BCF2000)

    Fixed reading of EXIF metadata when importing EXR files (if desired,
    existing files must be re-imported, as it is not possible to refresh
    metadata).

    Added support for scrolling through a module's presets using shortcuts.

    Panels now use "natural sizes" by default, meaning that their initial
    size adjusts according to screen resolution.

    The geo-tagging module now better supports narrow side-panels by
    wrapping rather than ellipsizing text.

    More actions have been added to the main help screen (displayed by
    pressing the h key).

    The lensfun library is now a mandatory dependency. This ensures
    that all darktable builds correctly include the lens correction module.
    This also means that an edit made using this module won't be inadvertently
    lost due to missing build dependencies.

    It is now possible to assign shortcuts to the "currently focused"
    processing module. This allows a common set of shortcuts to be
    created and reused in multiple modules simply by focusing that
    module. For example a single key shortcut applied to the "first
    slider" will affect the "exposure" slider when the exposure module
    is focused, and the "rotation" slider when the "rotate and
    perspective" module is focused. Similar functionality can be used to
    affect the "nth" slider, combobox, button or tab as well as the
    focused module itself.

    Right-clicking on a module header in the quick access panel now allows

Release Notes

In this update, we replaced the Map Viewer which was based on Internet Explorer with the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. Internet Explorer has stopped being updated since June 2022 and Microsoft has announced that they would disable it on February 23 2023.

Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is already available on Windows 11 and would be progressively installed on Windows 10. If this is not being installed, you can download and install the runtime from

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703

We have included the link within the app which you can download and install if the map viewer does not show up.

The Big Map View has been disabled at the moment as we are unable to get it working with the Edge WebView2.

If you are using Windows 8.1 and earlier, you can continue using v1.65

Whats new:>>

Added a help topic on Installing Picture Window, covering portable installation and installing for multiple users.

When saving scripts with Image Copies (rather than Image Names), the pathnames of the associated image files stored in the script file are no longer relative to the folder containing the script file but are now absolute. This fixes several problems, including missing file errors when loading autosaved workspace scripts. If the folder containing the script file and images folder is renamed or moved, you will get a missing file warning when loading the script but if you continue, Picture Window will offer to substitute image file pathnames in the new folder. Old script files will continue to work the same way as before, while new script files will use absolute pathnames.
