Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.8
Pros: FS Image viewer is one of the most complete products of it's type. Along with it's image viewing functions comes a vast load of options and editing functions.
It caches and opens images very fast. Supports all major file types, including adobe projects. Has very useful toolbars, which pop up when you drag your mouse to one of the four ends of the screen. Upper toolbar opens mini browser (without leaving fullscreen) that lets you browse through folders and thumbnail files. Left pannel opens editing tools. It includes crop, rotation, resize, color, brightness, gamma editing and similar tools. it also has 10 useful filters, like drop shadow, red eye remove and negative. Other two panels are pan&scan navigator and file iformation box. it's main tool on left click is magnifier, which intensity can be set in right-click option box. All this you do without leaving fullscreen.
It also has some skin choises, if you don't like the overall look. Other options include dual monitor support, screen capture, wallpaper anywhere...
Given all these convinient options, speed of the program, UI, price, and overall useability, FS IV is without question no1 on the market
Cons: Tends to use a lot of resources when dealing with large pictures, wallpaper setting could use some minor work.

Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.8
Pros: Dude this program is so convenient, small memory wise, and efficient. It's fantastic if U have a blog and posts pictures everyday that needs tweaking. It can do everything these huge editing apps can do but in many cases better. I even use it to make some very professional looking banners. As much as I loved my Picasa, I had to retire it for a while.
Cons: nothing yet

"Fantastic, What Are You Waiting For"
Pros: Every so often a really fantastic piece of kit comes along and you wonder how you got along without it.
This FREE programme from FastStone Soft should be of use to 95% of all people out there. Packed with features and easy to follow, you can do quick fix's or more sophisticated things. Great look and lay out you will enjoy working with this programme.
You can download it and give it a go, yet I will be amazed if you ever uninstall it.
Thank you FastStone you deserve a huge pat on the back.
Cons: Your kidding, right ?
