Two-for-one today…I’m making up for being a slacker this past week. This next one is a little program that I use all the time. If you have a digital camera, or for any other reason have need to frequently open large pictures, you will love this program. It’s a viewer for jpg, bmp, and gif (and probably others) files. If you normally use a program like photoshop or psp for viewing these files you will be amazed at how quickly vjpeg does it’s thing. It takes only a few seconds to open and close a file, regardless of the size. When your finished, just right click the image to close. Simple, effective, my kind of program…

Also, before I forget…the writer lists a few keyboard/mouse commands on his sire that are very helpful when using vjpeg. I have reposted them here:

Left click-drag: resize, move
Right click: close the active picture
double-click: go 1:1 or fit on screen, whichever is smaller
Escape: close the active picture
Ctrl-Alt-Q: close all pictures!

e: email the original file
E: email the bits on the screen (good if you open a big file and want to compress it.)
a: auto-levels
-> / r: rotate right
<- / R: rotate left

“Windows Media/Quicktime” commands:
ctrl-1 / alt-1: 50%
ctrl-2 / alt-2: 100%
ctrl-3 / alt-3: 200%
alt-enter: fullscreen (kinda)

“Photoshop” commands:
ctrl-alt-0: 100%
ctrl +: next bigger size
ctrl -: next smaller size
