Sequential is a program designed as an alternative to viewing pictures with Mac's Preview app. This tool enables you to browse entire folders of photos in a simple and efficient way, to load images from any webpage, and even to display the pictures within an archived file.
I like that the application enables you to sort the loaded pictures according to your needs (by name, size, date created, etc.), change their orientation with just one click (90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counter clockwise, and 180 degrees upside down), and zoom in the displayed photos. Furthermore, you can set any picture within the loaded folder or archive file as a desktop wallpaper.
The app lets you preview images of various formats, like JPEG, PNG, GIF, PSD, DNG as well as PDF documents.
Another good aspect about this tool is that it offers you a very simple way to preview and send to Trash the photos you no longer need in a certain image folder.
To summarize, Sequential is a helpful image viewer for Mac that helps you browse your picture collection with ease. The application is simple to handle, offers various image display options, and comes without a price tag.
