Hi every one, I'm looking a better photo viewer for my new window 8.1. I was using the photo viewer that came with essentials.

Thanks

You need to tell us what you don't like about your current viewer and what you reqiure of an alternative viewer because "better" is relative to the person using that word. I am quite happy with the basic Windows Photo Viewer that is available in Windows 8.1:

If this is photo viewer is the new one that came with Win 8.1 that will work for me.

Just a comment that you will have to select it as the default for each image type otherwise you'll end up with that photo app trying to open your images:

Note, in my case I have already selected it as the default here:

Good luck.
