A user sent in his recommendation of FastStone Image Viewer. I checked it out and found it to be pretty nice. From their website:

“FastStone Image Viewer 2.20 is an image browser, viewer, converter and editor with an easy to use interface and a nice array of features that include resizing, renaming, cropping, color adjustments and more. It also includes an intuitive full-screen mode that provides quick access to EXIF information and thumbnail browser via hidden toolbars that emerge when you touch the edge of your screen with the mouse. Other features include a high quality magnifier and built-in slideshow with 150+ transitional effects, as well as lossless JPEG transitions, drop shadow effects, image frames, scanner support, histogram and much more. It supports all major graphic formats including BMP, JPEG, JPEG 2000, GIF, PNG, PCX, TIFF, WMF, ICO and TGA. “

Its free and and it has some of the features you find in similar for-fee programs. For more info, go to www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm.
