As you are no doubt beginning to see, there are a lot of picture display programs out there, many more than even those reviewed. If you check them out, you will probably find that most all of them do a fair-to-good job of displaying pictures, but only a very few are outstanding in value.

It is this select few that PicViewPlus competes against. These are the ones you often hear people bring up in user forums when the subject comes around to picture viewing programs. And these are the ones you should be aware of when it comes time for you to choose a picture viewing program to look at your stash of pictures. So check out this Top Competitors report which compares PicViewPlus to the most popular picture viewing programs available - IrfanView, ACDSee, CodedColor PhotoStudio Pro, and Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 5.

Keep in mind that many of the picture viewing programs described here are multi-purpose, in that while they display a set of picture files, they also often include other features, such as creating a set of thumbnail images for a web page, allowing picture editing (e.g., changing contrast), displaying movie files, or bringing up a hex editor. Since the focus here is on picture display, these other features weren't considered in the following comparisons. It doesn't mean these other features aren't worthwhile - they just don't happen to fall within picture viewing evaluation criteria. It's also entirely possible that some significant picture display features may have been omitted, although the omission was not deliberate. Nevertheless, in many cases this overview hopefully will help you decide which programs are worth looking deeper into.
