Vista image viewer
I have gotten the question quite often, does the Inzomia image viewer work on Vista? The answer is that the inzomia image viewer works fine as a vista image viewer. When Microsoft released Windows Vista one of the new fancy features was the glass user interface which I must admit does looks good.
The important thing though is that the user interface is now rendered with hardware support using DirectX. This gives a lot faster graphics than the old windows graphics system that really did little difference between a printer and your computer screen. With DirectX Windows Vista can make use of your 3D graphics card to render a much better looking user interface faster than ever before.
Inzomia image viewer also uses DirectX to render the image. This is the reason the zoom is so smooth and fast and its the reason the program can do filtering in real time to improve image quality while most other image viewer applies filters a few seconds after the zoom, if they do it at all.
There is a small issue in Vista though. The glassy user interface requires that applications user Directx9 and Inzomia image viewer an earlier version. The viewer works fine and is still as fast though it will not have the glass look of other windows vista windows, if you have not turned that feature off. Personally I have turned of the flash user interface features, they are nice when you first try out windows vista but when you start working with the operating system you really want it as fast and responsive as possible. Inzomia image viewer does help you with that. If enough people really want to be able to use the glass user interface with windows vista write comments here and I will make it a higher priority.
