Review

HDView for Firefox is a plug-in intended to aid the visualization of huge images. Probably, many of you have experienced the pain that it usually is to view a huge image on your browser. Most times, they usually take ages to load, and, once they do, you are stuck with a huge image that you can't make any sense of. Now, take that experience to catastrophic levels, and you will feel what working with huge images really feels like. Web designers, scientists, researches and people in general have to deal with images that are hundreds of times larger than what you are used to, and, until HDView was designed it was almost impossible to do that. This application aims at browsing through images of billions of pixels, such as panoramic views in high-definition. HDView will make sure that you have a large enough portion of the image you are viewing at any time, and that the next portion is available or almost available by the time that you move down to it. However, this application doesn't make any miracles; viewing those images still takes a lot of horsepower and Internet speed.
Advantages
  • It helps a lot when viewing large, very large images.
Disadvantages
  • None.
