Guest john westmore_______ Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 In deleting out some photos amongst my collection, I often want to compare two or three shots that are more or less identical; with each other. When I open one photo in the 'windows picture and fax viewer' and then open another one in another window, the first one disappears. So I can only have one window open at any one time. Since I want to compare two or more photos simultaneously, how can I adjust the settings to allow this please? thanks.

With the Print Wizard still on the screen, open another image. Close the Wizard. You should now have two instances of Windows Picture And Fax Viewer open. Better still, get Irfanview and use the 'Create Panorama Image' option which will allow you to display multiple images in the same window either side-by-side or one atop the other.
Guest richg99 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Re: viewing two photos simultaneously Thanks Kool breeze ..the suggestion to use the Windows print function ( which, of course, I already have loaded up)..was a fine one. I was trying to do just that last night! regards, richg99

Guest Rey Santos Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 RE: viewing two photos simultaneously In cases like this I use the Film Strip View of Windows Explorer.
