My favorite free image viewer. Always happy to see improvements.

"Vista look and feel"? An ugly, much too broad skin which has crashes and hangups all the time?

Yeah, I agree. FastStone blows all the others out of the water. It's fast, and has great features. I like it better than IrfanView, ACDSee, etc, etc.... I think I've tried just about all of them. I've been using FastStone every since its early 1.x versions, and it just keeps getting better.

If the JPEG dithering in FastStone generate smoother images for automatically reduced images I would have favored it over ACDSee Pro 2 which I'm using now. But it still is the best option if you're looking for a free image viewer.
