ImageGlass stands as an open-source, ad-free photo viewer, yet its development and upkeep demand resources. Your financial backing not only sustains this project but also fuels my motivation for crafting future releases.
I've hit a bit of a snag and could really use some help. I've got a bunch of photos in HEIC format, and I'm struggling to view heic files on Windows 10 (and potentially Windows 11) setup. It seems like my current setup just isn't cutting it for these types of files. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for a best HEIC viewer that's compatible with Windows 10 or 11? I'm looking for something straightforward and user-friendly since I'm not exactly a tech wizard. Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!

After a bit of research and trying out a few different applications, I found a couple of solutions that worked well for me. First, I discovered that Microsoft actually offers a HEIC file extension support in the Microsoft Store, which, once installed, it seems doesn't allow me to view HEIC files directly in the Windows Photos app, I don't why.
I also tried out a third-party app called TunesBro HEIC converter. It not only let me view HEIC files seamlessly but also offered the option to convert them to JPG if needed. This was super handy for sharing photos with friends who couldn't view HEIC files or for uploading to websites that only accept JPG.
Google Photos is a popular photo sharing and storage service developed by Google. It allows users to upload, share, and manage their photos and videos from any device. It supports a wide range of photo and video formats, including the High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIC). HEIC is a format used by Apple's iOS devices for storing high-quality images in smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG. However, HEIC is not as widely supported on non-Apple platforms, which can create challenges when sharing or viewing these files.
Once uploaded, Google Photos automatically converts HEIC files to a compatible format for easy viewing across all devices. Simply click or tap on an image to view it. You can also use Google Photos' editing tools to enhance your images.
Are you open to installing a third-party app for viewing HEIC files, or would you prefer a solution that integrates directly into Windows 10/11, like a codec or feature update? This could help narrow down the best recommendation for your setup!
Encouraged by that success, I also decided to give TunesBro HEIC Converter a shot, especially since I often need to convert photos for sharing with friends and family or for use on websites. The ability to easily convert HEIC files to JPG has been a game changer for me. It's incredibly user-friendly and the batch conversion feature has saved me so much time.
It's easy to get the trusty old Windows Photo Viewer back -- simply open up Settings and go to System > Default apps. Under "Photo viewer" you should see your current default photo viewer (probably the new Photos app). Click this to see a list of options for a new default photo viewer. Assuming you upgraded to Windows 10 from a previous version of Windows, you should see Windows Photo Viewer as an option.
This is trickier, because while Windows Photo Viewer is still technically available, it's not easy to find. It does involve editing the Windows Registry, which you should not attempt unless you know what you're doing -- editing the Registry can be dangerous if you make a mistake.
2. Double-click on your new REG file to merge it with your Windows Registry. You will need to click through the User Account Control and a few other windows to allow the file to make changes to the Registry.
3. You should now be able to see the Windows Photo Viewer and set it as the default program for various image files. To do this, open the Control Panel and go to Default Programs > Set Default Programs. Find Windows Photo Viewer in the list of programs, click it and choose Set this program as default. This will set the Windows Photo Viewer as the default program for all file types it can open by default.
The problem is when I click a picture in a folder, the Windows Photo viewer is used - which is what I want....
But then I cannot use the keys or arrows to view the next picture in the folder.
I have to close the Photo app and then open the next picture to view it.
I want to achieve the same effect as Windows File Explorer where I can open a picture and then continue to view the rest in the folder by using my arrow keys or clicking the arrows on the Photo app.
Please tell me how I can do this.
That is the Windows Photos app choosing to do things differently depending on how it is launched, and there's no other documented way to launch it that we are aware of, as with a lot of the "Metro" side of Windows.
The same problem happens if you launch it via the Open With dialog in Opus, but not the same dialog in Explorer, even though both dialogs arre handled entirely by the operating system. It seems Explorer does something special, and possibly undocumented, when it launches "Metro" applications. I can only speculate but it may have an API to pass the application the list of other files in the same folder, instead of the application working that out for itself, but I've never seen that API documented if there is such a thing.
It was apparently written by someone who did not consider that anything other than File Explorer would ever launch the program, even other parts of the Windows OS that don't involve third-party software.
This is the Photos app's problem, not something Opus is doing wrong. The Photos app just doesn't work properly when launched in a normal way, and that includes when it is launched via a basic ShellExecuteEx call or the standard 'start' command in a Command Prompt. The Photos app is garbage.
It's not just me making this up to shift the blame to the Photos app. Total Commander's author said the same (at least in 2015; I don't know if they've found something new since then that we aren't aware of over here):
Double-clicking an image in TC doesn't launch the Window 10 "Photos" app, let alone enable the next/prev list in it. It launches the old Windows Vista "Windows Photo Viewer" Win32 app. This is done on purpose by Total Commander, due to this very problem:
If you want to use the old Vista photo viewer in Opus, you can do that by setting it as the default image viewer, or adding overrides for specific types if you don't want it to be the default for everything.
Diverting you to the Vista app doesn't make sense in Opus, since Opus defaults to using its own image viewer (where next/prev works fine, however you launch it). If you're using the Windows 10 app in Opus, it's because you've explicitly asked for it, so we need to respect that choice, even if we disagree to it due to the Windows 10 app being garbage.
Long story short: I don't think we can make next/prev work in the Windows 10 Photos app. Microsoft could fix it by fixing their code. Or you could fix it by using a different/better image viewer (also the conclusion in the TC threads I linked, unless something's changed very recently but they still launch the Vista app by default for some reason).
I have a photo that shows mostly black colors. I edited it in PS, assigned the sRGB profile and saved it as JPG. It looks great within Lr, PS and through any browser but I tried 10 different apps for Windows 10 and the black are so black that there is barely any detail visible. Is there a color-managed photo viewer for Windows 10?
I got these links (I think) from another DPReview poster several years ago. I think I used the first link that has a link to a .zip file that contains two .reg files. Follow the instructions. Clicking on one of the .reg file enables Windows Photo Viewer. I've done this a bunch of times on various Win 10 computers with no problems.
I test for color managed viewers by opening a file in Photoshop and converting it to have a version in each of sRGB, Adobe RGB and ProPhoto. Save each image. If you use a viewer to cycle through the three images they should look identical in a color managed program. But look decidedly different in a non-color managed viewer. (This smokes out the non-color managed slideshow mode in Windows Photo Viewer.)
With that if you want a color managed photo viewer, you'll need to look third party like Adobe Photoshop, LR, Bridge, ACDsee or any other photo editing program with the capability of being color managed. These (color managed photo viewers) are not included in Windows 10.
And if you edited your files in Photoshop and want to view them in a color managed environment, why not use Adobe Bridge? It actually is a very powerful "photo viewer"; as well as photo manager, and editor.
Oh, ok I didn't know that it is possible to turn it off or on. Regarding The Bridge, I've never used it, to be honest. I simply want a quick way to take a look at JPGs without loading them as a library. But I will definitely try the Bridge. Seems like I need to know what it is to stay current at least. 152ee80cbc
