Image Viewing Software for Reading Comics - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

MichaelFarker · 04-21-2005, 11:10 PM

I'm looking for some help. I have some comics scanned in and stored on my computer with one page per file. What free program could present these images in an easy to read format?

I'm running WinXP. Thank you for reading this and I look forward to hearing your ideas.

If the files are properly named (so you can sort them in the right order) the built in Windows Picture viewer should do exactly what you want. Open the first file by double clicking in Windows Explorer, when you are finished reading that page, click the "next" button...

Also, if they're in order, you can open the Picture Tasks subwindow and View as a slide show. Just hit pause when it starts, then you can just click to go to the next one.

IrfanView gets two thumbs up. Lots of features and totally free. It allows you to do slideshow at time interval you specify. It can also generate screen saver from the images. If you do get it, get the plugin, too.

I was just about to reccomend IrfanView myself.

What format/filetype are they in?

Pretty much designed specifically for reading scanned comics.

CDisplay is what I use too. Very easy to use, and the price is right

Thank you guys, that will be a big help. CDisplay looks like an excellent program so far.
