"Andrea Coffey" : And another use: : : I wanted to batch scan some slides, and IrfanView just sits there : quietly, saving the resultant files using the file type I'd specified : (PNG), incrementing the stored image numbers. : : It's one of my favourite programs. : another enthusiast :) I'd also add that I've printed out of nothing but irfanview for years now -(when not saving and batching) - being able to specify image placement and work in pixels or inches without the dpi/ppi/conversion confusion is a breeze k
