[gis_info] Summary - RE: Preferred or Favorite TIF/TIFF Viewers

[Stark, Dan]

Thanks for all the responses!  Below is a non-scientific summary (Product, #of mentions, Comments)

Brava Reader IIII (Free but you must re-install every 6 months, I pay for and use Brava Desktop regularly and like it a lot)
Irfanview III (Technically not free for government use, I have used for many many years at home, it's great)
TIFF Surfer II ($/tech issues)
Faststone Image Viewer
Paint.net
MS Photo&Fax Viewer (have been using but have issues with big multipage TIFF's)
MS Live Photo Gallery

And the winner is....

"Converted to PDF already"

I am using Acrobat Pro to batch convert - Thanks to H. Blair Fitzgibbon for the link:

Have a great weekend everyone,

Subject: [gis_info] Preferred or Favorite TIF/TIFF Viewers

We are preparing the hard disk images for our new PC rollouts this year and find ourselves searching for a good (preferably free) TIF/TIFF image viewer.  Although we are working toward all PDF, we have thousands of TIFF's for asbuilts, permits, plans, etc.  Does anyone have a recommended viewer that you have deployed across the enterprise?

Best,
dan
