Mac owners, I have an older program, and you can still buy it, it's called QPict . The developer is not updating it any moorland the newer OS for Mac does not let it run very well and I feel that as the OS is updated more and more that my viewing/sorting program is not going to work much longer, so I'm asking your help and suggestions.
QPict program lets' you add images, work on RAW if you want, make slide shows, renumber everything, but MOSTLY to me I can load in a hundred images or more and drag the QPict window over to my 60" HD TV and have my clients view them as different sizes of thumbnails and best of all I can double click the image, enlarge it to full screen the 60" HD TV and then go through all the images full screen and have clients choose their favorites. This program is simple yet very versatile and powerful!
Can anyone tell me about a program that is out there right now like my QPict program. (See attached screen shot)
Thanks for reading my post and helping if you can.....

Wow. The only thing I could find for QPict is software that runs on pre-macOS machines. You might be able to still run it using an emulator, but I suspect that wouldn't give you the performance you need.

I'm at a loss to recommend anything because 1) I don't have your needs, and 2) I think everyone has their own specific workflow; what may suit me may be totally alien to you. That said, there are a lot of Digital Asset Management (DAM) tools out there. You might check here for a start:

I just downloaded vs 7.2.2 of Qpict as a trial. It seems to be working fine. I'm running Mac OS Mojave.

I'm curious where you found it? I checked Softpedia, which didn't have it, and MacUpdate, which only pointed to the developer's web site, which has gone dark.

Edited: Never mind, I found it on CNET.

Unfortunately I'm unable to buy a license for it.

Sounds like it may be time to start looking for alternatives.

Why not use the Photos App. on your Mac? Attach an Apple TV to your HD TV and use AirPlay to show your photos. This should fill all your needs; "add images, work on raw, make slide shows etc.

Photos App is not as user friendly, bu that's for the suggestion.

Also, I have El Capitian 10.11.6 ands all the features are not working as they did in previous OS's . I was afraid that it would not work with Mojave. But if it runs for you then maybe I am OK to update to Mojave on all my Macs.
If anyone does have other suggestions to a good program like QPict I would still appreciate any and all suggestions. Thank you all for your help!
