Image viewer for Mac?

Hello!

I’m looking for an image viewer for Mac. I’m a teacher and my problem is that Preview is too complicated for my use case. Sometimes I download random pictures to a topic and I want to show them to my students. The thing with preview is: If a picture is smaller than the screen it is not extended and there is no way to do this automatically. I have Command+9 20 pictures. The other thing is that no matter how but Preview always messes with the order I want to show the pictures. So, can you recommend an app that does a better job?

My favorite on Mac is XnViewMP.

I wish Honeyview (Windows only) was available on Mac :frowning:

Thanks for this, I’d forgotten about XnView.

Now I have a fast app for looking through my new camera files (since the OM Systems OM-5 raw files are still not natively supported in macOS). I have PhotoLab for most things, but this might fill a triaging gap until I can use PhtoReviewer again.

Just in case you haven’t come across it yet: hitting the space bar while a file is selected will usually open quicklook - which displays most file types. It’s the fastest way to view files, and the order is identical to whatever order the files are listed in finder.

Thank you for this - I don’t think I ever knew that. :grinning:

It’s surprisingly undiscoverable. I don’t know how you ended up using a Mac but I find especially windows converts never expect a single button to do something when there isn’t a text entry field.

I use space bar 90 percent of the time. I also use Xee 3 by the developer of The Unarchiver and like it.

Appreciate the XnViewMP recommendation!
