Suffering without Photoshop?

Here's another free download that you might want to consider to keep track of your images. Not LOTS of editing features, but better than just being stuck with MS Windows picture previewer.

MyViewPad download and review - image viewer from SnapFiles

MyViewPad is a simple and easy to use image viewer that can read about 80 image formats and write to about 25 formats. In addition to standard viewing features (zoom, rotate, slideshow, full-screen etc.) it also offers several image correction options, including sharpening/unsharp mask, color/contrast/brightness adjustments, blur, gray scale and more. MyViewPad displays EXIF and IPTC information next to every image (if available), supports embedded color profiles, and can also import images from a Twain source (scanner, camera etc.) and more.
