Comparison Utility with slider

Post by xnrv »

Hi! I'd love to select 2 images, then right click -> Slider Compare. It'd be awesome to have it in Windows Explorer as well.
Thank you

Its coming to Photoshop, but I still would prefer XnView (because of opening times)

Let's say "make it more flexible" instead?

That the two images have to be—exactly— the same size greatly diminishes the usefulness of this function.

Sure, I can look at, say, two differently developed versions of a same image, and that's great...as long as I haven't cropped one.

The A/B function is a good start, but I too think it could be better.

So, I would simply re-word xnrv's title as "Make the A/B comparison utility more flexible".
