Re: Different sizes of PNG

Thanks cday and Triq for your help, comments, insights and efforts. Now that you've dug into the matter and provided the answer, I guess it should have been obvious all along. And should have been the first thing to investigate. Compression. XnView apparently saves PNG files with (a) a high level of...

Re: Different sizes of PNG

Hi Cday--

Thanks for comments. I posted the answer to your question above. Properties for both files are identical.

Also, I don't understand your reference to XnView versions. I'm running the latest versions (Windows) of Classic and MP, get same results with both.

Re: Different sizes of PNG

Hey Triq-- You probably wouldn't say that if you could actually see me, but thanks for the thought. :D I'm glad to see you're still XnViewing. The bit depth on the TIF file is 24 bpp. I created a new and smaller TIF file (with Photoshop), then saved it as a PNG with both PS and XnView. Same results:...

Re: Different sizes of PNG

I compared the properties, both "file" and "image," of the two files (one saved with XnView and 3.3MB, the other saved with Photoshop Elements and 18.0MB) and all the specs were identical.

Different sizes of PNG

This is not a problem with XnView or even a "how to" question. It's more a matter of trying to understand something about image file formats. I have an 18MB TIFF image. When I save it as PNG using XnView (both classic and MP), I get a PNG file of 3.3MB. When I save that same TIFF file using Photosho...

Re: Loading slowly in Windows 10

Wow. How cool that somebody replied to a question from 14 years ago! Thank you Lesbarry. Good thing I wasn't in a hurry. :D I've only had MP installed for a few years, and I believe that the "Check integrity of catalog at startup" is OFF by default. So my images load quickly, from either running MP ...

Re: Loading slowly in Windows 10

Hey Triq.... Thanks for the excellent suggestions and links. The problem was NOT "check for updates," but turning off "open browser" seems to have done the triq :D . Also, per the other gentleman's idea, I DO have a slow USB drive attached. Great ideas and links, thanks. HOWEVER, those things would ...

Re: Loading slowly in Windows 10

Thanks cday. I found the post "What's different in XnView MP [Full List]" by budz45, which is an excellent in-depth description of MP. Unfortunately, I didn't see a compact listing of the things I most particularly care about: what does MP do better than Classic (i.e., reasons to switch), and what d...

Re: Loading slowly in Windows 10

Hi cday--Yes, am using Classic. Am not opposed to switching to MP. Is there a discussion somewhere comparing the two versions?

Re: Loading slowly in Windows 10

Thanks for the idea, Pierre. Unfortunately, renaming the Plugins folder made no difference.

Loading slowly in Windows 10

I doubt that this is a bug, but I'm using this forum in case it is. I've been using XnView for a long time—i.e., through versions of Windows beginning with XP—and I don't recall ever thinking "why does it take so long to load?" Now, using Windows 10, I think that every time I use the program. And by...

Re: Error saving PNG

Here's one test that's easy and quick: see attached file. When I open the JPG file with XnView and then try to save it as PNG, I get an error every time. Perhaps if you get the same error, or don't get it, that will tell us something. This file was NOT originally created by XnView, but rather by the...

Re: Error saving PNG

Of course you may ask! I use three different scanners: Epson XP410 all-in-one, Epson Perfection V300, and a Fujitsu ScanSnap 1300. Having never had any problems with them in several years' use, and using them with other programs besides XnView, I would say there is no reason to suspect them of contr...

Re: Error saving PNG

PS. One thing I can confirm is definitely a bug: when I get the error message when trying to save an image as PNG, XnView creates a file anyway. It has nothing in it, 0 bytes, and of course gives an error when I try to open it with XnView or any other image program. This is definitely a bug--no prog...
