Image Comparison : one pane not several #2371
Comments
Wouldn't it be better to use IrfanView or FastStone Image Viewer which supports Slideshow? |
Winmerge highlights the differences between the images, having one pane that cycles between sources then allows you to examine closely those differences better than multiple panes. |
I think the image comparison is missing an obvious trick, unless I've missed something.
Currently there are 2 (3) panes representing the images and an Alpha Animation option.
What would really be most useful is not 2-3 panes, but an option for a single pane, and the single pane contents loop-cycle between the images with the titlebar changing to reflect the source, so it would cycle 1 2 (3) 1 2 (3) 1 2 (3)... The cycling could be automatic on a chosen timer (a key to start/stop, speed up, slow down), and/or by manually pressing a key (e.g. left/right arrow go forward/back in the cycle - if pressed during the timer there would be a pause and the timer would recommence a few seconds after the last manual source change). Also a shortcut key to toggle the DIF highlights (yellow blocks) on and off.
The benefits of this -
I can't see any downsides to this option. It's the one I would use all the time, and is useful, among other uses, for checking compression quality versus lossless original. (People looking at night-sky photos taken a short period apart would also find it useful, I dare say a per-image X Y offset option would be good for sky pictures taken a reasonable length apart.)
