Thanks

Looking into this (Y)

Radish?

[BajiRav]

wow this thing is good. performance and UI is well polished. :) liking it.

[Ar3s]

Sadly It doesn't support a crossfire setup.

I'll try it. I wonder what they have done that makes it better (if it even is) than Picassa.

One thing I already don't like: Deleting from the program deletes the file fro your computer.

warning. DO NOT DELETE A FOLDER USING THE PROGRAM. I tried to delete a folder form the program so it wouldn't scan it, now I can't find it anyehere

What may make it better is that it is GPU driven by Directx API so that may be what sells it while Picsa is driven mostly by the CPU

I edited my post. I panicked but found them in the (duh) RB. I had a few hundred files in there and went by it. Still don't like it though.

I wonder if it works faster than Picasa or ACDSee Pro 2.0/10...

[:: Lyon ::]

I usually just go to my Pictures folder, and then double click on a photo file to open it (default Windows Photo viewed) and then use left-right arrow to view my album.. why bother with programs like Picasa or this? ^^

[Beastage]

Nice checking it out now.

Wow... it is very fast

K this is great as a picture viewer but it has no image correction or editing of any sort, I am very fond of picasa image correction options.

Installed on Vista

Run program

Crashes

Pictomio has stopped working..... blah blah

Uninstalled

[solardog]

Crash city...not a great first impression.

************

Hmm seems the first crash is a feature...it works when started after that crash. I started it up again in hopes of a screen shot of the error, but its working now...there were 2 error windows during the initial crash.

************

Second impression is excellent! Love the carrousel feature. This is a really cool image viewer. I love apps that take advantage of my 8800gts.

wow, the interface is sooo messy

[jakeyyycakes]

It looks like a bit much for some computers.

And yes, it could use a bit more work.

[OblivionStalker]

Looks great. Too bad it freezes my whole PC. Bug or problem with my PC?

[Doli]

wow, the interface is sooo messy

Looks clean to me, easy to use out of the box.

[ozgeek]

It does look nice but too flashy and it does crash on my Vista Utlmate as well.

I usually don't bother with photo thumbnail software like this because Vista already have Photo Gallery. Add Photoshop and I got what this program can do.

same for me.

[NienorGT]

OMG, NICE!

It stoped working for me too, but on second run it worked fine.....

It do need work, but it's starting very impressive.

[Thrawn]

This really sux0rs, but it's almost on OK idea. Is the maker on Neowin? We could give him some advice.

[toadeater]

No RAW support.

[+Tantawi Subscriber²]

No RAW support.

Yeah but it's one of their development top priorities as per a post in their forum.

[Punio4]

Messy interface. Hangs a lot. Eats a load of RAM. Vsync option doesn't do anything. Not really useful.

Uninstalled.
