Strengths: The screensaver process is easy. The desktop wallpaper process is a snap. The keystrokes are easy to learn and remember. The program has never gone bad on me.
Weaknesses: The cropping is straight lines only; it would be nice to have shapes available. I kinda wish there was a correction tool for bad complexions, etc.
Overall Evaluation: I expect to continue using this wonderful little program for many years to come. I've set my preferences so that all pix open in Irfan. This is a great starting program for people new to photo editing, but it's still a wonderful tool for the more experienced

Strengths: Open fasts yet provides basic capabilities. Price was right... free... Even if you make a donation, it is still inexpensive.
Weaknesses: Locations of features on pull down menus not where expected.
Overall Evaluation: The time required for an application to open is very important to me. Although I own a license for Microsoft's Digital Image Pro10, I only open it when I need its advanced features. I had been using an old version of Microsoft Photo Editor for basic editing, but Irfanview provides a key feature lacking in Photo Ed. 3.0, the ability to insert text. It adds that capability seemingly without adding a heavy load on computing resources. I've not yet installed any of the "plug ins," so I can't comment on the additional capabilities they provide. Supposedly they allow you to open most any image files including some generated by CAD programs.

Strengths: Simple interface, easy to use. Can handle just about any graphics format out there. It's free!
Weaknesses: None I can think of.
Overall Evaluation: This is the MUST HAVE graphics application. No matter what programs you're using, sooner or later, you come across a format that you have trouble viewing. Irfanview can open just about any graphics file. It's simple and powerful. The best free image viewer ever!
