CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
For a free program, this multipurpose image tool strikes us as a good find. Although the main window looks too cluttered at first glance, it's intuitive enough after you get your bearings. FastStone Image Viewer for Windows boasts a nice design already, but you can customize it to your liking with several skins. Clicking a thumbnail puts a larger view of the shot in the lower-left pane, and you zoom in simply by dragging the mouse around. Though its image-editing tools can't compete with those offered by a full-featured suite, there's still enough here to make a decent amount of tweaks to your shots. You can resize, crop, remove red-eye, and adjust color, brightness, and contrast. You'll also find a few simple effects and filters, including Lens, Waves, and Morphs. FastStone Image Viewer for Windows can batch-convert files into a number of popular image formats including GIF, BMP, PSD, and PNG, and the slide-show creator allows you to apply transitions, specify the interval between images, and add your own MP3s as a soundtrack. We can recommend this program to everyone but professional designers.Publisher's description

Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.22
"Outstanding, simple-to-use photo editor."
Pros: Great photo editor for beginning to intermediate digital photo users, with all the adj. tools you'll need: contrast, saturation, hue, lightness, gamma, etc,. etc. Easy to use.
Cons: Some of the photo attribute adjustments should be icons in the toolbar, instead of only accessible through the menu (hue, contrast, gamma, etc. Only a minor shortcoming in an otherwise great product.

"Quite possibly the perfect image viewer"
Pros: This program is excellent. It has everything you could want (in an image viewer, not an image editor). It's fast and customizable it even has features I hadn't expected like auto rotation based on EXIF data and even .CR2 support.
Cons: None.

"A very functional, practical, efficient and effective product design!!"
Pros: Contains a lot of features that are highly accessible, especially if you're good adept at using keyboard or mouse shortcuts (i.e. u're not dependent on ready-to-click toolbars). The batch image processing is especially handy!!!! The best, hands down!
Cons: none for the time being.

Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.22
Pros: It has a very cute interface similer to that of WMP. You can change the look of the
interface by using different type of skin.I use it for making frames.All the the frames on my website are done by this software. I like to thank those creative people for their beautiful work.
Cons: While saving a file twice with the same file name it doesn't ask you confermation like "Do you want to replace it".

Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.22
"Undoubtedly Outstanding product. Too good to be a freeware."
Pros: Having tried and used numerous image viewers for over 10 years now I can undoubtedly say that this is far superior an Image viewer than all the ones I have come across, including the ones you need to pay for. Its got the right set of features, keyboard short-cuts and interface required for an Image viewer. *** TOO GOOD TO BE A FREEWARE *** Far better than Irfanview, ACDSee and XNView.
Cons: Sometimes, although very rarely, the program freezes which I do hope the developer will take care of in future versions.
