Summary:

Quite slim at under 600KB and it's free. After downloading your images from your digital camera via USB, serial, PCMCIA or USB card reader, etc. Use irfanview to show a slideshow. Hit 't' to get a thumbnail view of all images in your directory and choose which ones your wish to delete. Or go in full screen mode and view each image advancing with the spacebar and if there's an unwanted photo simply hit the delete key. Want to make a quick homepage with all your images? Go to thumbnail view and choose Save selected files as HTML file. Quick and dirty but it works great. New for Irfanview 3.20 is an explorer like thumbnail view so it's quick to jump to various directories.

Strengths:

-thumbnail viewing on the fly -batch conversion, resizing -generate html thumbnails -tons of image formats -slideshow -batch scanning, renaming -capture area, window, full -zoom, a few effects -accepts various plug-ins

Weaknesses:

-zooming can't pan with a hand -html thumbnailer isn't recursive -double-clicking thumbnail doesn't always who photo on top. -not a Photoshop, gimp, type program.
