<img src="https://sk-data.special-k.info/artwork/strangorth/24.png" width="24" alt="Animated eclipse icon for Special K Image Viewer (SKIV)"> Special K Image Viewer (SKIV)

An experimental companion image viewer for the Special K Injection Frontend (SKIF). Is also intended to be able to function separately, although not all planned features may be available when used in such a form.

The intention is to build a simple yet advanced screenshot/image viewer tool that handles HDR images properly as well as function as a testbed for features and functionality for the main Special K project.

New versions will probably be distributed through their own packaged installer once the project reaches more maturity.
