Manga Viewers

[LotusBlade]

What program do you use to read manga, im using windows fax image viewer, and i was wondering if there are any other programs better than this.

[lldlukagentg13]

Personally I use IRfanview, no Idea where to get it as I got it from a friend

[rejectshia]

cdisplay is very simple and easy to use

and ACDSee has some very weird file sorting system to help you out with your images. i use both at school.

what do u mean??

btw, i use ACDSee... it has a black background to provide a better contrast(well i think so) ... that is if u load the image in fullscreen... it is also quite easy to use... :)

Program i use: PicWalker :D

[tranouze]

i use acdsee.
its zoom mode is really useful.

[Shiki]

Acdsee Is realy Good ^_^ Have been using it for a long time

[Pook54]

I like acdsee because using the scroll button to browse is really useful but it's pretty bad at zooming unfortunatly :(

[LotusBlade]

wow thanx guys, ill try these outs

I can only recommend CDisplay or ComicsViewer from personal experience. ACDSee is good, but get earlier versions because the newer versions take up more memory to run.

[Lisa Hayes]

i could throw in 10 more image browsers, but those that i posted first will do.

ACDSee was fun until it got uber-friendly, that you get very little control on what happens on the program.

CDisplay is one of the best. The ability to read zip/rar files is a big help.

ComicsViewer is also very good. I've tried it before and was satisfied with it.

Toriyama's Manga Viewer is a surprise from the list. This was the first program i've used before ACDSee got popular.

PicWalker is also a good program but has troubles reading some of the rar files.

What i'm using right now is PicWalker, since it is the only program that i haven't managed to uninstall yet. ~

[KidSteel]

I vote for CDisplay. It has all features I need for reading manga (well, the bookmark function could be better, but at least there is one), plus it's small and fast.
I hate the current ACDSee (cumbersome and buggy).

[ja5es]

I just use Windows Fax & Image viewer.

[TheException]

For Mac users there is a software called Book Image Viewer (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16271)

[Asamidori]

ComicsViewer for me~

[ChronoReverse]

ACDSee 7.0 works fine for me as soon as I went and messed with the preferences a bit (and rearranged everything). I was using 4.0 until I decided that I wanted unbroken rar support.

[luse]

I use ACDSee 4.0..and its works just fine

[Javituchi]

ACDSee 7.0 has everyting to me. Although previous versions are Ok too. It's probably the best one & my favourite :)

[TheFinn]

i use ACDsee classic 2.43 it's small doesn't seem to use much memory and it's really really easy to use and i have had it FOREVER

CDisplay is cool pretty easy to use i just don't like the way it seems to require fullscreen as i am often switching between manga and other things on the net

ZipPicView for reading zipped mangas

[HMMaster]

using acdsee....i recommend the older version coz the new ver (7) is very slow....

[DruidxEFD]

Any other linux manga readers?

I'm looking for a linux image viewer that can view zipped or rar'd mangas? I realize that not many out there use linux but I won't go back to windows....ever.

[Mucknuggle]

I use CDisplay. It is easy to use and can show you the files from within a .rar or .zip. It also resizes things very nicely.

[Wrathraven]

ACDSee Classic always freezes on me :(
and I can't find version 4 ... only 6 and 7 and they're retarded

[Piko]

I use ACDSee Pro 7.0 it's very easy to use and easy to configure ^_^ i like it

[painsama]

I use gqview. Really good image viewer.

To view zipped rarred manga, use 'fileroller'. Then without extracting, select all pictures in the file then 'open/view file(s)' then choose/add gqview as your viewer. Quite tedious steps.

I keep surprising myself on what I find on google...

Acdsee 2.41: light, easy, full screen. The best!

ComicViewer is updated recently, and I'm using it for most manga
Some minor functions are added (actually a lot of minor changes)

The main defect is that it does not have cache,
loading big picture like 400k would take a long time.

[lala59]

Does anyone know how to view pictures at 100% in ACDSee and have the slide show move around the picture if it can't fit the whole screen like in CDisplay?

[level3]

right click, choose View> fit image (shrink the image to full screen size)
but i usually use fit width
