This is as far from guitar or music as possible. But @Clayton 's recent discussion about uploading photos reminded me about this little graphics viewer that I use.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that I use it every day. If I don't, it's close. It is called Irfanview. And it is more than just a viewer. It is a viewer, print utility, file converter, editor and I'm sure it does other functions I don't know about. And every step of its use is intuitive and simple. It will even build slideshows or screen capture. If one wants to convert a file type it doesn't require going through a conversion process, just save it with a new file type extension. And printing it will resize according to paper size if you want to make a full page or you can resize and put it anywher eon the page.
And, most importantly, it's free. And it's not free in the sense there is a time limit or donation expected. Mr. Irfan Skiljan released it to the public domain with no restrictions.
Just a great little utility and I've been using it for years. Of course, I use Photoshop for important complex photo manipulation and anything needing layers. But for quick image viewing or printing I use Irfanview, as I said, almost daily.

How can Such Great Things be around, and I’ve never heard of it?!!!

Oh I remember that one! When I was a full time web designer, we used that one a lot. We taught customers how to resize their photos before uploading to the websites we built. Back then most people used Windows machines and that was the best graphics utility we could find. That was around 15 years ago. I haven't looked at it since. Glad to hear it's still around.
