Many photographers end up keeping all RAW images on their computers, because they do not want to go through the hassle of deleting bad images they will never use, only to realize over time that their hard drives get filled up quickly and their post-processing time takes much longer. And this gets even more painful when working with RAW images because operating systems usually have no built-in capabilities to view and properly render RAW files.

Rendering can be a bit laggy compared to another viewer I've long used when panning through a folder of images, but iits rendering quality seems pretty good otherwise.No matter what software one uses for post-processing photographs, the process of selecting what images to keep and work on, also known as “culling”, can be quite painful when dealing with thousands of images. The controls are intuitive and other than my caveats above, is generally unobtrusive. If you have it set to "Actual Size", then images that exceed my display dimensions are not completely visible. Generally speaking, I want to see them in their actual size, with over-sized ones reduced to fit. The last gripe I have is with the fitting of my images to the window.

I know they hide "eventually", but I would actually rather just have a border on top than have those buttons overlaid onto my photos. I'm also not a fan of havng the window "close/minimize/zoom" buttons overlaid on my images when displayed. It's unnecessary if you know the keyboard commands already and there should be an option to not have that appear. The interface is minimal indeed with borderless windows, but where it fails for me is primarily the on-screen controls that pop up whenever my move my mouse. I also prefer to see my images in their actual size, with the exception of images that are of a higher resolution than my display, in which case they should be resized to fit automatically. In a graphics viewer, I like a minimal interface with no distractions.
