noutters:
Hello,

I have been using Irfanview in the past but switched to XnView for a couple of years ago. How do they compare today?

Curt:
I have both. I use IrfanView every day [Ctrl+Shift+I), and XnView twice a year or so. I must admit there are many features in IrfanView that I have not yet tried to use, but I believe IrfanView would be "anyones" choice (obviously not) of the two - at least if photography or converting were the two biggest issues. But of course XnView still is somewhat 'nicer' and easier. Less nerdish, you might say.

Besides, noutters, I remember that I couldn't figure out how to set transparent colours on GIFs and PNGs with XnView - can it do so?

MrCrispy:
Another one to consider is FastStone viewer - www.faststone.org. Has a different UI than traditional programs in the image view that makes it really useful. These are the big 3 of free image viewers.
