ToyViewer is “almost there” in terms of the features I consider essential. It could also be an awesome tool for trade show booths. I think I am going to keep it just for that (I am vane). Each image is shown without any borders/toolbar and under arbitrary angle, so you can really create a credibly artistic impression. While they do not perform any image processing and do not let you navigate to another image either, they are worth considering for the gloat value: PhotoStickies are an excellent way to throw a bunch of pictures (and webcam streams) on your screen right before you show off your new Mac to those burdened with Windows.

The following are my very brief notes for my own use. Sadly, there is not one, but there are some good partial substitutes. Well, I switched to a Mac, so I tried to find an equivalent. In the Windows world IrfanView is the definitive image viewer: intuitive yet powerful, it can be used for virtually any image processing, from impromptu slide shows to massive batch operations. I am actually beginning to worry about Mac platform: after all, Xee has not changed much in the last few years, yet nobody really caught up!
