Thanks but... this one also filters, and the "Full screen" zoom was quite hard to escape back from. I need like 20x zoom

To be fair far, far fewer than that will do anything with images except just look at them as some media site presents it. And probably of those won't be looked at at all.
Then of that vast subset only a much smaller subset are those that do create/edit images. And those are going to be looking at the macro scale.
megaadam wrote: visually compare minuscule differences in sequence of images...Maintain the zoom as I flick through the images
I have never seen a request like that before.
Curious as to the use case.
Matter of fact when one says "minuscule" I wonder what you do with different color graduations? Say just one bit difference in the blue of one pixel? Seems unlikely that you could visually see that.
Myself I would expect programmatically it to be easier. I would probably write code to read the image, perhaps provide a bounding region, then compare the pixels via the bytes.

I agree. I compare pixels instead of "looking" at them.
(I have an app that "corrects" pictures by rejecting any pixel that doesn't match a given palette, and "fills" the hole with the last valid pixel (on that "row"). Effectively "erases" things you don't account for).

Far fewer than one in 8 billion? You make me feel lonely. With 8 billion humans on Earth, where do you find all the other image viewers? Or am I far fewer than one? Well, that would explain it.
The use-case is OCR, un-italicisizing italic non-latin script, to improve the OCR-output. Have I done it programmatically? Yes, I have. The subjective assessment of the images is just a complement to that.

We have almost exactly that workflow in one of our products. We use it to examine camera images during a calibration process.
You wouldn't believe the gyrations I went through in our UI trying to display simple pixel-accurate bitmaps in WPF. I finally gave up and used an embedded WinForms control.

Looks like you've found a solution. I'm going to have a look at qview as well, it seems nice.
I think irfanview might also be able to do what you want. It has a compare images function which can zoom in and lock the zoom level.

YAUT! I was nearly going to use a name instead of "she", and add a couple of commas, after the name and bug.

He was the founder of an extremely successful jewellery chain, in the 1980s, which would sell cheap jewellery.
Pretty much every high street had a branch.
However, he made the mistake of saying twice, once in a conference and once on a BBC programme, that the jewellery was "total cr#p".
The share price tanked overnight and the Ratners stores had to close as the insulted customers stopped buying from them.

Yeah, I looked him up.
Say what you want about the man, he was refreshingly honest.

By the evidence, including his bank account, he's pretty f***ing good at presenting the MBA/CEO mentality to shareholders, that they love so f***ing much.

Marketing (lying convincingly) yourself as some CEO genius, when you're not, can easily bilk money out of shareholders. People fall for marketing tactics all the time if they don't know what to look for. The most shining current example of this is Trump. He's a complete fraud who got millions of people to vote for him and scam money out of people and companies who believed his bullshit. He pushed his lying-ass too far and now his entire house of cards is crashing down around him.
Given the "golden parachutes" executive level people get, it's a win-win for these people no matter how bad they are at their jobs. That bullshit needs to end.
CEOs like this guy eventually (hopefully) end up not being CEOs anymore because they leave a track record of corporate corpses and sketchy histories of blunders, like the Unity debacle, in their wake. Shareholders need to hold corporate boards more accountable for maintaining their "friends and family" networks, shuffling these bad apples around.
