I agree with Jenny, IrfanView is a superior program and I’ve done exactly the changes that Alexander asks for (excepts that I’ve added text boxes in the top) I’ve also used it to highlight lines in the census by adding a red dot or a number in the margin, I’ve cropped pictures and created “preferred photo” (much easier than the same in Legacy) and more.
but there is one thing I miss in Legacy, which I understand has been on the suggestion list for years and as I think should be very easy to implement: In Legacy I can choose viewer for documents (Word) and for pdf but, for pictures I’m limited to the Media Gallery which has very little editing possibilities! if I had been able to open a jpg inside Legacy with an external editor (regardless of whether it is Irfanview, Photoshop Elements or other) probably the programmers would have done it in less time than was required for just me to solve the problem in another way 2018-07-27 18:25 GMT+02:00 Bob Austen <[email protected]>: > IrfanView is my default photo viewer.
