Have used this for some time as my default image viewer particularly for the borderless feature -- wonderful for comparing an image in different formats or against a background color -- but only recently found all the display options available under the Inspector feature.

This is a link to a set of images that I am using to follow the weather. I am using PhotoStickies to reload the NOAH weather Satellite images. This is an incredible tool.
