I'm looking for an image viewer on windows that also has some simple editing tools. I've been using nomacs for quite a while, which is exactly that, but editing images with this software can get pretty finicky, so I'm looking for an alternative.
Features I'm looking for:
- Browse between images in a folder
- Rotate images 90° and mirror images
- Crop images freely or using preset aspect ratios (1:1, 5:4, 16:9, ...)
- Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. (optional)
What do I dislike about nomacs? It has all of the features I'm looking for. However when cropping, the crop area doesn't align with the edge of the image, which means the crop area can go outside of the image and white pixels will be added when you crop the image this way. You can't easily align the crop area to the center of the image either, so it's all guess work and repeat if you messed up. Furthermore, the brightness slider and similar sliders aren't what they should be. They change the image in unexpected ways and can't be reset properly.
So in short, using nomacs to edit is a hassle and I'm looking for similar software that does the job properly. Thank you!
The default image viewer in windows can do all of this
