DEDWARMO  This program is only 824 kb! I love compact programs. But when Phoenix Slides scales up small images during the slideshow the scaling is low quality. There is no smoothing to the scaling so you see aliasing. Lacks some features that more expensive slideshow programs have, but otherwise works well.

ELMARCO  Simple and efficient as said below. Works very well.

Lacks : sub-folders settings, an option for file info not showing, and a simple transition effect.

ANG  Good bye Iphoto !

Absolutely perfect.

MAGOSILVAN  Still the fastest, the simpler yet powerful: the best!  
(Version 1.2.5)

RORO01  THE BEST ONE

Very fast, efficient & useful.  
(Version 1.2.4)

ONLYONE-JC  Absolutely fantastic image browser. It's fast, and hasn't crashed once (10.4.10)!

My only suggestion is for larger thumbnail support, of sizes up to the actual size of the images being browsed.

It would be great to be able to use the thumbnail size slider to fully preview an image, or series of images, without actually opening it/them in Preview.

Keep up the good work! You've done a great job!

Thanks!

JSTRAIT  Can't beat the price. Good well written app. Missing basic transition options though. Just a simple 'cross-fade' would be nice.

PLANET  Phoenix Slides is amazing fast, the handling by shortcuts is very Mac-like and ergonomic. It offers lossless JPEG rotation, excellent slide shows even with exif-tags - and no annoying, growing cache like iPhoto- in short:

The best image viewer for the Mac around. Dot.

NADAMAC  I've used them all but Phoenix Slides is probably (one of) the best free image viewers. Thanx a lot!

SJJ_PUBLIC  Phoenix Slides is fast and fantastic, but it is a tad complex for basic users. I wish it had a toolbar for slideshow navigation and zooming, rather than depending on keyboard commands (of course, keeping the keyboard commands too) and I'd like to see an option for it to automatically jump in the browser to a loaded CD when a CD is loaded, preferably seeking out the first folder on it with photos in it. That would be uber great. Also I'd like see it change the default behavior to be to *not* show the EXIF info Window. For my Mom and Sister, that's information they don't need and that just makes the program seem more complicated. Still, this is a fantastic program as-is and the price is definitely right. Much better than using Preview, especially when viewing pictures on a CD!
