I recommend FastStone Image Viewer.
<http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm> It started life as
strictly an image browser/viewer modeled after (my favorite) the
BreezeBrowser image viewer. As time went along it picked up some more
of its own character and started adding basic editing functions. I still
prefer BreeezeBrowser as an image viewer but BreezeBrowser is anything
but free and does no editing at all... instead passing the image to an
external editor such as Photoshop (or many others). Actually, FastStone
can pass an image to an external editor also.
FastStone is what I recommend to my kids because, although its editing
capabilities are limited, it still has far more editing function than
they will ever use.
Perhaps its biggest drawback is that it's volunteer programmer/creator
is like most of the programmers I've ever worked with... they like
writing code but hate writing documentation on how to use stuff or how
and why it works internally. This guy is no different but a volunteer
writer stepped up and created some basic documentation on how to use
it... available here. <http://www.faststone.org/FSIVTutorial.htm> But
if you check the file dates you'll see that the app was updated last
year but the documentation hasn't been updated in 5 years.
Despite all that the documentation is good enough to get you started and
after you get yourself familiar with it you'll probably be able to
figure out the rest by playing with it.
If you read the development version history on the first link above
you'll see what function is in it.
ps: One of it most useful functions, modeled after BreezeBrowser, is a
2, 3 or 4-up comparison. Very useful if you have a number of very
similar images and are trying to compare and whittle down to the best.
You can find it under the tools menu or the double pine trees icon. The
scroll wheel will zoom the images. Tags for each allow you choose which
to keep or discard as image selection can be controlled with the tags.
Overall, excellent for a freebie.

Open to any (free program) suggestions.

Nice shot, Rick. If you could adjust the white balance to make the snow
white, it would be even better. Just a thought.

Tired of it, Rick.
