You forgot ACDsee, Fraps and MS Paint! Razz

Also Flash is not a favorite, it's an unfortunate necessity. It's one of the worst coded piece of code ever. It can even make a 4GHz Core i7 lag for God's sake!

Thank you for the list.

@psolord
About ACDSee, IMO it was great up to 3.0, then became bloatware, sluggish, and the quality of its development dropped off.

I prefer FastStone Image Viewer, it's free for personal use, slim, fast and powerful enough. I love the interface too, someone else maybe not.

I'm registered to it even if I didn't have to!

Another simple software you may consider is i2pdf, converts scanned images into pdf documents. It's small, fast, portable, and available in 32 and 64 bit versions. Also free.

I prefer IrfanView for image viewing and FoxitReader for PDFs Smile

Foxit Reader is great because it lets you scroll through pdfs faster than Adobe Reader. If you are looking through an e-magazine for example, foxit is far more pleasant to use due to superior responsiveness over AR. I'm glad I found it recently.

.NET Paint is way better than MS Paint

For image viewer I switched from Faststone to XnView, it's soooo much faster at rendering highres images, and once you got it properly configured, it's a real gem.
