✨ Features

  • Switch among images with fixed zoom ration, which is useful when comparing image details. (Unfortunately, I cannot find such a image viewer and this is the initial motivation to develop HandyView).
  • Various comparison modes.
  • Show basic image information, e.g., image path, shape, size, color type, zoom ration, etc.
  • Show the position and color in the current mouse cursor.
  • Draw rectangles on images and show the start and end position.
