Hello,

I just want to browse thumbnail images in ACDSee, and then select a few,
that each might open in it's own window that I may compare all the
pictures.

But it just won't do it. I am amazed. I would think many people would
want to compare various versions of pictures and would want a few side
by side, but dang if I can find an app to do it.

Sure...I can go all the way back to windows explorer and open up an
acdsee instance, then repeat. But must it be done this way?

Thanks for your input!!!!

Love,

Molly

Hope this will get close to what you wanna do:

ACDSee: Shift-doubleClick an image and it will open in it's own ACDSee
instance

Photoshop 7: open two (or more) images and choose Window / Documents / Tile.

I use Acdsee's Mpowertools or Picaview add on program to get a thumbnail
when I right click an image, clicking on the thumbnail in the menu brings up
a full size of the image and can be repeated as many times as you like,
makes for comparing images easy I use this method alot. But using
Acdsee's thumbnails and right clicking you need to go into tools/options
and alter the rightclick menu back to Windows Explorer type menu for this
to work a breeze within Acdsee.

I've been using an early version of Firehand Ember (3. for years now
as it's an excellent picture viewer and you can open multiple pictures
from the thumbnail browser for side by side comparison. I tried a
couple of the latest (trial) versions (6.something) over the past few
months but they are bugged in that these pictures opened for
comparison keep closing after a while whenever new pictures are
opened. I've tried communicating with Firehand to report this but
unless you have bought the full version they block any communication
and won't respond to emails. Companies like this will not get any
money out of me. But if you can find an earlier version, I'd recommend
giving it a go.

Thumbsplus (www.cerious.com) has a compare on the right click menu
which does this nicely.

--

Hecate
(Fried computers a specialty)

In ACDSee 5 Follow this menu path to do what you want.
|Activities|Manage|Browse|

This will instantly open a new instance of ACDSee allowing you to view
Photos side by side.

This has an added advantage that both views have full functionality,
allowing you to "tweak" one Photo to bring it into line with the other
photo. Of course, you can do this as many times as your memory will allow.
Allowing you to do side-by-side comparisons of as many photos as you like.

I HIGHLY recommend ACDSee's mPower Tools for this functionality.

I select the group then scroll back & forth with the middle wheel of the
mouse to compare. Or open them in separate instances of Irfanview by
selecting a group in explorer.
