> (gqview) third! Nice software.
gqview is fine… but feh as well… i use both.
Lubos Vrbka
Some are already suggested. you can also try
xloadimage feh qiv gliv - good if there is a 3d accelerated video card
Kamaraju S Kusumanchi
I like gqview for checking out directories and playing with id tags for later sorting. It can be a bit slower on large directories then gimageview if I recall its name correctly but the interface is quite nice.
For one time image viewing I use feh -FZ (will also do slideshows if you replace the image with a directory.
For editing there is nothing close to the gimp under linux although after getting used to photoshop it is not even close. Even if you ignore features, I find its setup very disorganized and I seriously miss adjustment layers.

Thanks.
I've been using "qiv" Quick Image Viewer. You can find it on freshmeat or sourceforge. It is very fast, and low on memory usage. It has alot of features considering it's size, 39k stripped. It has slideshow, and alot of keypress functions. It's the smallest and fastest to load of any image program that I've experimented with. Just put an alias to it called "q" and "q image.ext" pops it right up.
You can get the source, so you may fiddle with the title bar.

An X based image file viewer and manipulator.
Xv is an image display and manipulation utility for the X Window System. Xv can display GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PBM, PPM, X11 bitmap, Utah Raster Toolkit RLE, PDS/VICAR, Sun Rasterfile, BMP, PCX, IRIS RGB, XPM, Targa, XWD, PostScript™ and PM format image files. Xv is also capable of image manipulation like cropping, expanding, taking screenshots, etc.
http://www.trilon.com/xv/xv.html http://www.trilon.com/xv/manual/xv-3.10a/cover.html
xv (X Image Viewer), written by John Bradley (xv@devo.dccs.upenn.edu for XV questions), can read and display pictures in Sun Raster, PGM, PBM, PPM, X11 bitmap, TIFF, GIF and JPEG. It can manipulate on the images: adjust, color, intensity, contrast, aspect ratio, crop). It can save images in all of the aforementioned formats plus PostScript. It can grab a portion of the X display, manipulate on it, and save it in one of the available formats.
rpm -ivv ~/dl/mustH_b/media/jpg/xv-3.10a-15.i386.rpm
ls *.gif | doeach.pl gifconv @_ ~/discards/gens/eps/@n.eps ls *.gif | doeach.pl gifconv @_ -format eps @b grep BoundingBox: @g @_.bb
Gifconv reads a GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) image file and converts it to another format: PostScript (or Encapsulated PostScript), PCX (a PC format), PICT (Macintosh), or PPM (Portable PixMap), using the xwpick backend. This is mainly useful because xwpick produces particularly well-behaved and compact PostScript. For the other formats, many other programs do the same job, eg. xv, pbmplus, or netpbm, and in fact these may be used to convert an image to the GIF format that gifconv requires as input.
http://hepax6.rl.ac.uk/DELPHI/Adye/gifconv.html http://cern.ch/adye/gifconv-2.21b.tar.gz
PostScipt files produced by gifconv automatically understand on what kind of printer they are being printed. On Level 2 PostScript printers the native LZW/ASCII85 decoding filters will be invoked, while on Level 1 printers inline decompression code is executed. Rendering time on Level 2 printers is pretty fast. On Level 1 printers the image rendering is, of course, much slower, but still usually faster than for Run Length Encoded PostScript images.
For this particular image, the resultant Encapsulated Postscript file is 2.8 times smaller than that produced by xv (with xv's compress option).
Input format: GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
Possible output file names:
*.ps (PostScript) *.eps (Encapsulated PS) *.epsi (EPS with preview) *.gif (GIF) *.pcx (IBM PC) *.pict (Macintosh) *.ppm (PBM+ library)

Can someone recommend a good image viewer for Linux? I need one that can display pictures full screen and bring up a menu or something with the right mouse button or thereabouts to move on to the next one in a directory, etc. It'd be nice if it could also display pics in a window as well (preferably one that has a list on the left side). Actually, what I'm describing is an image viewer for Win98 called PicView (I think) that I use. Is there anything similar to that for Linux? I'd need JPEG, PNG, GIF, support at least, more yet would also be useful.
> Try gqview which is included with the distribution.
yes, i like gqview, simply cause i like the interface, it is almost like acdsee
The tried and tested xv handles many file formats. The nice thing about xv is it's ability to run relatively powerful command line options:
xv -root -rm 5 -maxpect -wait 5 -wloop ./*.jpg ./*.tiff
e.g. the above command will run xv on the Xwindows root (ie underneath any windows..), it will continuously loop all of the .jpg and .tiff files in the current directory with a delay of 5 seconds, and convert each image to the maximum size that your screen will allow while maintaining the aspect ration of the image (height to width ration).
Of course, you can run xv in a window rather than on the root! xv can also create and update thumbnails of directories for you.
There are other image viewers out there (ImageMagick for example), but I have yet to find one that has the command line power that xv does. (It may be that I haven't looked closely enough recently, I've been using xv for 5 years). xv's only fault (IMHO) is that is not GPL - but the source has been supplied with just about every major distro for a number of years. The license is for non-commercial use only.
According to the homepage (http://www.trilon.com/xv/xv.html) .png is not supported by default. But there is a patch available, you'll have to intall the patch and recompile..

For a standalone prog:
It's free for non-commercial use, but you can't use the LZW compression, or else you gotta pay (thanks to Unisys :P).
Theres also an add-on for XV (schnauzzer or something like that) and guash (for the gimp).
I'm a -HUGE- ACD See fan for Windows, and GTK See is a very good clone http://hotaru.clinuxworld.com/gtksee but…
My personal preference for Linux is CompuPic.
Go to Linuxberg and download them both. They're not too big - why not, eh?

Try using xloadimage for fast viewing of images
From: Terry Porter@gronk.porter.net (tjporter@gronk.porter.net) Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.advocacy Date: 2002-05-02 03:28:37 PST
Today I installed "Gimageview" a GTK+ image viewer and I'm very impressed with this GPL app by Takuro Ashie <ashie@homa.ne.jp>.
Upon starting it I was greeted by the familiar GTK window with vertical file manager window. This is a tabbed application where each tab is a selected directory.
When I clicked on one of my picture directories the main Gimageview window was immediately filled with thumbnails.
The thumbnails present file name,location and size in a popup as the cursor is moved over them, plus right clicking reveals a comprehensive menu that includes "edit".
Edit allows information such as subject, date, location, model, url, etc to be associated with each pic, along with a note.
The main screen has eight thumbnail settings including thumbnail, thumbnail and detail, icon and detail, rename mode etc.
Clicking on any thumbnail opened up a separate small window with the pic selected.
The small window has fast zoom and rotate buttons and is easy to use.
There are many more features too numerous to list, but this is indeed a quality picture viewing app that is worthy of consideration inmho.
Thanks for your time.

NCONVERT
To convert files in a specific format, type for example :
nconvert -out 5 file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga
or
nconvert -out tiff file1.pic file2.jpg file3.tga
With a resize :
nconvert -out jpeg -ratio -resize 480 0 *.jpg nconvert -out jpeg resize 640 480 *.jpg
The input format is not necessary. If a problem occurs, use the -in option.
Nconvert is able to make transformation
To convert GIF files to JPEG files :
nconvert -out jpeg -truecolors *.gif
To convert JPEG files to GIF files :
nconvert -out gif -dither -colors 256 *.jpeg
To resize :
nconvert -out tga -resize 510 230 *.jpeg nconvert -out tga -ratio -resize 510 0 *.jpeg nconvert -out tga -ratio -resize 0 510 *.jpeg nconvert -out tga -resize 200% 200% *.jpeg
XNview + Nview/Nconvert is a set of utilities for viewing and converting graphics files. These utilities can read 76 graphic formats and can write 29 (Jpeg, Targa, TDI, Softimage bitmap, RGB Sgi, Tiff, Gif, …) They can resize, adjust luminosity and brightness, modify the number of colors, apply filters/effects, create a slideshow, browse pictures, create thumbnails, and do batch conversions.
