iPhoto Mini is a widget that lets you browse your iPhoto library. You can select an album and look at the photos in that album. Additionally, in the album popup menu you get to see how many photos each album contains. The photos are automatically rescaled so they always fit in the viewing area.

It would be cool if you could do something with this similar to the myPhoto widget (which I cant seem to find online anymore but luckily I still have it installed).
With this widget you could see a random picture from your iPhoto library each time dashboard was activated. It would be cool if you could expand on this by making the picture open full size in iPhoto if you clicked on it, or something like that.
Good start anyways! Thanks for the widget!
I like this Widget, but looking forward to 2 updates.
1. Slide Show
2. Black or transparent Background. landscape to portrait leaves a large grey area.
This is one of my favorite widgets. I enjoy seeing a random picture from my album(s) on the dashboard. It's also got some cool and useful features like being able to open the picture in multiple apps, moving foreward and backward through the album, making the picture a desktop picture, being able to resize the window, and one-click access to iphoto. I believe you can also open pictures from other apps in it. All in a simple and attractive package. Great work!
To the previous reviewer: I like being able to pop into dashboard and see a random photo from the past. I have over 5500 photos, so its cool to see an old photo that I forgot about and sort of rediscover it. Anyways that is why i find this widget useful. It does not replace iPhoto, its purpose for me is more to act as a mini slideshow.
This version fixes all of the bugs from the previous version so I'm giving it five out of five.
I don't understand the purpose of this. Is it too difficult to launch iPhoto? Perhaps we should convert all applications to run in Dashboard, such as Word, Safari, Chat, email, whatever, and then we can kiss our desktop goodbuy and run in a java environment, and be slower at it. :(
I would love a small feature which allows to show the displayed picture in Finder, in order to copy it somewhere or such. In Apps like Preview I would have to save a copy to do this (not to mention, launch Preview for it).
This is such a cool widget, that I had to write it up at my blog:

Tip. For Custom, highlight the App you want and Cmd-C copy to get the exact name.. The widget seems to use a 'tell' to run the app much the same way iPhoto does.
And yes, I was looking for the resize feature as well. Now we have it. Nirvana.
An awesome little widget! It lets you browse your library, shows you a random picture from your library and lets you send any picture to Preview, Mail, Safari or a fourth custom application.
