Chasys Photo Viewer is the viewer program in the IES suite.
Chasys Photo Viewer is a high speed viewer application that is capable of
viewing all image files that can be loaded by the IES suite, including Chasys
Draw Image Format (.cd5) and animated GIF.
This is the Chasys Photo Viewer main window:
This is what the window looks like when it is maximized. The
window switches to full screen view, covering the entire screen. Most of the user interface items are either removed from the screen or made translucent to maximize the image viewing area as shown below:
The interface supports drag-drop, allowing you to open files by
simply dragging them onto the viewer’s window. Right-clicking anywhere within the
window brings up a popup menu where you can select various options and commands. Left-click works like the Hand tool in Chasys Photo Editor, allowing you to move the image around. The mouse-wheel provides zoom and pan functionality.
Commands
Chasys Photo Viewer is capable of performing certain
operations internally, specifically, you can browse and delete image files,
rotate images and open files in Chasys Photo Editor for editing at the click
of a button. All operations are accessible through the popup menu and the buttons on the preview toolbar, but may also
be accessed through the keyboard.
All functions in Chasys Photo Viewer are smart, which is to say the
program will attempt to find and use the best possible method to do any
operation. If, for example, you are trying to rotate a JPEG image and your JPEG
plug-in supports JPEG loss-less transform and your core FastExternals™ system is
transforms-aware, the rotation will be performed using the lossless method,
otherwise a buffer will be used to cache the original, then a lossy transform
will be applied.
Chasys Photo Viewer has the unique ability to rotate animations and short videos.
