I'm trying to find a graphic viewer for Macs which is similar in
nature to Irfanview for Wind Dose, and will run on 10.6 and earlier. I
remember there were several progs back in the day, but I don't
remember what they were. Any suggestions?

=IML=

Moogs! Would you buy it for a quarter?

preview, included with mac os, can read many formats and make basic adjustments.

to just view it, select the image and tap the space bar.

"Back in the day", GraphicConverter was *the* thing besides the OS provided Preview.

I'm still using Graphic Converter V4.4 on a beige G3 with OS8.6, it
copes with most photographic formats, even those that weren't around
when OS8.6 was current. For everyday use, either PhotoDeluxe or
Photoshop LE (both were freebies) do most of what I need.

Thanks to all who replied. I knew about Preview, but it's just not
what I wanted. What I needed to remember was GraphicConverter. It's
been a long time since I was a serious Mac user, so thanks much for
jogging my memory. There were lots of commercial progs that worked
well, but this is for a friend who doesn't have a lot of money to
spend, so shareware/freeware is the way to go, and GraphicConverter
was the best of the lot, IIRC.

It depends on what you actually want to do. GraphicConverter is great,
but costs money. GIMP is free, but perhaps not as good (nor as
'Mac-like').

GC can open and display almost any graphics format file. GIMP couldn't. So, yes,
it costs money but it's a fair price.

I think you will find that earlier (OS8 - 9) versions of Graphic
Converter are now free; just e-mail the developer and ask.

either I had forgotten or things have changed since then.

Thanks for asking. I passed it on to the friend who has the Mac in

well it works. I'll pass it on if/when he gives me any feedback.

I'm late to the conversation I realize but I wanted to put in a good
word for Xee. If all you're interested in is viewing and not editing
images, this one can't be beat IMO. I know the original freeware version
works on Tiger through El Capitan, but you need the new pay version
(only $4 though) on Mojave (at least) and up.

For some reason the author got rid of left and right arrows in the
original version (for viewing images inside a folder), and you need to
use keyboard arrows for that task in the new one (go figure).
