Okular in Ubuntu can view multipage tiff files nicely

Please Help,
I can not find an application that will view tiff files in Ubuntu.
I saved the filles on my hard disk but neither the Documents viewer nor the Image viewer managed to show the file correctly. They both show a blank page instead of showing the contents (I checked the file on a Windows machine and it opens without a problem).

Interesting list. The matrix is a good idea to finish the article. One thing I have found is not easily available in these viewers is the image info, more precisely the info about resolution in dpi and the printed size. I know this is mostly used with photos but this is a feature I miss from IrfanView and I don’t like to use GIMP or F-Spot. I will have to check if viewnior has it.

Good article but, I suggest re-writing it to include the missing applications mentioned by some.

More important, instead of few snapshots, I suggest creating a complete matrix format listing all applications in one column, and all the features in top row. The other matrix elements would be filled with a “Yes” or “No” indicating whether that specific application has or supports a particular feature. This would make it very clear which application is best and very easy to pick the preferred one by the users.

KuickShow is NOT kde3 based. Its still available in KDE4 and one of the best image viewer if you just need a short look.

Personally I am a big fan of the light weight Mirage and/or the EFL based ePhoto

gPicView is a good third though :)

This one looks very promising too, thanks for pointing it out. I’ll give it a try soon and maybe it’ll make into a separate review.

You missed Fotoxx. Fotoxx is the only viewer I have found with a resize and email feature other than Picasa.
Lots of nice tools for editing photos too.

How about “Top 5 Image viewers for GNU/Linux”. Who cares about bumtu/kbumtu. Making articles for one clan like group of linux users doesn’t help Linux, FOSS, or the rest of the linux user community.

Noted for next articles, it’s a good idea. I’ll find a way to include it somehow, maybe with an installation icon or something. Fact is, on other systems (like Debian for example) this protocol is not recognized by default, so I still need to include the full installation command (or to explain how to enable it in Firefox and other browsers, which is not such an easy task).

Hello, it would be GREAT if you added an apt link to the right of the sudo command so that people can install the programs *without* using a terminal command. For example:

apt://gpicview
apt://gthumb
apt://viewnior

etc..
