Hi,<br />
<br />
We downloaded IrFanView Graphic Viewer software to our Windows 10 PC.<br />
<br />
On opening a PCD file in this viewer, it appeared small and seemed to be less quality.<br />
<br />
1. Does this viewer have option to make full size on default?<br />
2. Does this viewer reduce quality of images? If so, how view in high quality?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Robbie

Any chance you could upload the PCD file you are working with here so we can work with it to find a way to get higher resolution?<br />

Don't have a pcd at hand, and can't reproduce with the usual format suspects, but it seems like by default, only a maximum base resolution of 768x512 is supported for PCD; for higher resolutions, the PCD plugin is required.<br />
So if you haven't done so yet, download and install the plugins matching the bitness of IrfanView you've installed.<br />
Then go to Options -&gt; Properties/Settings. select the second entry from top &quot;JPG / PCD / GIF&quot;.<br />
Set this to &quot;4 Base&quot; or &quot;16 Base&quot;.

Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
