BOOOMWHADIS I'm very often checking individual images. And for that purpose ToyViewer is a much better choice than Preview. By default it shows images in their original resolution. That's how i want it. You can however, if you prefer, make ToyViewer adjust larger images to your display size (a bit hidden in the preferences - note to the developer: i think that option should be moved to the main menu). Clicking *Alt + CMD + Z* gives you a borderless "foreground" mode: you can scroll through larger images or move through them with a hand tool. Nice! At the bottom of the image viewer is a black button to view your image in full screen/ match screen mode. There is a rectangle selection feature - hitting that black button will change your selection to borderless full screen. Very nice! As well there is a scaling option at the bottom of the image viewer. My only suggestions for improvements: A short key for that *match screen* button because i'm using a multi-button mouse and assigning such a short key to one of the buttons would speed up my work flow. ToyViewer's short key for toggling windows is *CMD + 0* while most other apps are using *CMD + for that. Despite these minor issues a 5 stars program. It has as well a host of exporting and editing options but when i'm honest, i hardly used those and would start Photoshop instead.

AKROBAT Very good application indeed. Perfect for checking images and image editing without the need to open PhotoShop. I'm experimenting with using this as a defualt image browser instead of Preview. Thanks for making it free.

DOM21 I want to make changes in the Default Viewer's checkboxes but every one is checked and grayed out so that you can't uncheck any. Solution anyone?

PETER DA SILVA What's with the complex install instructions? I just drag the file from the .dmg on top of the old version, and it just works. Also, I'm not sure I get the point of the "scan folder" tool, it doesn't seem very Mac-ish...

APPLEDOGX Surprisingly great little gem. I wish it had an undo function so you could try things out and play around with the image.

MACUPDATE ADMIN You could create a copy of any given image, use that with ToyViewer, and then would not be messing with the sole original.

THEVALRUS Not necessary. When you make a change, ToyViewer opens a new window with the changed image in it; the original image is still around and in order to "undo" your change, all you have to do is close the window with the modified image.

This is simple, but with all the basic features you would need. I use it to quickly convert comics to grayscale jpegs.
