Here is my Version:
Step 1: Install VLC 4 or better (DevVersion) on your device.
Step 2: Done.
No, I am talking about the VLC you know, which also is an audio player and image viewer ( which many people do not know). Give it a try.
"This is the first time I've heard of it capable of this feature."
Yeah I know, a bit of an obscure Feature. I learned that by accidend some years ago. AFAIK it was partly supported since V2 and officially since 2018 / V3.0
True. VLC is for images just a rough and quick way to view a pic - not much more.
On macOS my tool to do more is btw. GraficConverter

In case you do not know it:
This app reads/converts/writes virtually EVERY image format which is out there, is also a basic image processing tool, knows all the details (resolution/color-room, full EXIF with EXIF tool, sizes etc.etc.) can do resizing, recompression, cropping, dia-shows, batch manipulation....
@Ann_Effes Yeah that is the best way to put.
Actually I have not heard of this one. Sounds like it is quite a powerful application. I may try this out if I get one of these old iMacs working.
