Dave Hounddriver Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Windows 7 uses the Windows Photo Viewer to view jpg pics. The problem is they open in a window instead of only opening the pic. Any other recent software also opens in a window, with lots of bells and whistles. I want a simple, old fashioned picture viewer that only opens the picture and then lets me move it around my screen and perhaps re-size it. The objective is to plaster different pics all over my screen so I can click from pic to pic for comparisons with the least amount of distinctive clutter. Any ideas?

I usually use Picasa photo viewer and that is my default, and it will only view one at a time. If I right click the file and say "Open With" Windows Photo Viewer, it will open a new window for each file you do this with. I think that is what you want. I'm looking at 3 photos in 3 windows right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hounddriver Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 I usually use Picasa photo viewer I do use that but it opens in a window also. Yes it is an 'invisible' window until you try to move the picture around your screen and then the window frame shows up. Thanks for the tip though.

A door? ;) I can best answer that by saying I want the picture that I open to BE the window, not just a pane in another window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not see any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
