The best viewer for photography on an Imac?

[Arielle Simondsen]

I've been using firestorm, but I am wondering if there is a graphically better viewer I can use on my IMac for better photography in world?

Thanks in advance for any advice that can point me in the right direction.

Hi, Arielle.

Firestorm is probably best for taking photos, because of the FS Phototools. Phototools gives you easy access to Windlights, DoF, and graphics quality settings, plus a wealth of various other features to enhance your photos.

I take photos all the time, and they're all done using the FS tools, nothing else. You can see some on my flickr feed: https://www.flickr.com/photos/myrawildmist/

imho, FS is the best. It can take while, a long while, to learn the FS Phototools, but it's worth it.

Firestorm is my viewer of choice, for the reasons Myra described. I also usually enable "Hi-Rez Snapshot" in the advanced menu and/or choose image sizes that are much larger than my screen using the snapshot window. This gives me added latitude for post processing in Photoshop or other tools on my Mac.
