Usually, I take always 2-4 photos in a row instead of one - then try to pick the best one. But once the differences are very small, it's hard to tell which photo is better by simple looping using Irfan View.
Is there a better tool or a trick, to zoom multiple photos simultaneously and compare them by detail?
Detailed dream tool description:
I need to display variable amount of photos, ideally in some sort of split screen. I need to zoom them all together (they are always of the same resolution and contain very very similar images). I need to be able to move all the zoomed frames by same offset as well as move the zoomed image in single frame.
I need to be able to finally click on the selected photo and have the application delete/archive the others.
What does it mean to compare photos in this case:
As I have stated above, the photos I compare are taken sequentially. This means they contain almost the same images (+-some offset if my hands shake).
What I compare are details like blinking eyes, brightness, things in background and mostly the sharpness of the photo, which may not be obvious until the photo is zoomed.

A shameless link to https://github.com/PatWie/saccade as a linux native open-source version, because I was looking for such a tool, too.

I also ask how are you comparing images (although it is accessory, it might help others answer this). – Doktoro Reichard – 2013-10-07T22:05:29.557
I need them zoomed in, so that I can focus on details. Since they are all same resolution, it would be enough if the program just picked the same zoom and X-Y offset on all photos. But there may be more or less than 4 photos. – Tomáš Zato - Reinstate Monica – 2013-10-07T22:12:05.393
I compare photos by all general photo quality criteria: sharpness, eyes (did someone blink?), enviroment (is there something awkard in the background?), brightness (too bright? too dark?). Keep in mind that the photos I compare are 0.8 seconds away from each other. So they tend to be very alike, but not the same. – Tomáš Zato - Reinstate Monica – 2013-10-07T22:14:25.053
You should add this information to your post by editing it, as that will bump your question to the front page. – Doktoro Reichard – 2013-10-07T22:15:34.037
