Xee was my first "find" as a replacement for Irfanview under Windows, and seemed very promising. But... It's very slow for even 2000×3000 JPG files, even slower for raw images, and lastly doesn't seem to consider ICC profiles, so images are shown with inaccurate color. Viewit is my current quick viewer of choice, when not wanting to start up bridge or lightroom.

It seems that at one time Preview allowed animated GIF viewing, but dropped that feature (annoying). Viewing them in Safari provides no control (annoying). Xee is a great little utility for viewing ani-GIFs in loop or by individual frames. One problem solved; now for...

Whoa, those replacement icons from Adam Betts rock.

I've noticed that it seems to be slightly slower than Just Looking, but the problem is that I prefer Xee's UI over that of Just Looking - I'm going to check out Xsee and see how that stacks up.

I was using IrfanView (runs on M$ Windows) to convert images and was looking for a replacement on Mac. Xee does it all! It converts, rescales, crops, rotates and saves rotated JPGs without losses. That's really what I need.

I just want to be able to look at my images at 100%. Is this even possible? It's really annoying seeing them scaled to 103% or otherwise and I can't seem to change this in the preferences.

This is a really killer image viewer. I like it a lot.

I recommend you the icon set replacement for Xee made by Adam Betts: http://www.artofadambetts.com/weblog/?p=119

I totally agree with El Cravito. The app is good but becomes very "clumsy" when you open one single large file or more than 2 or 3 pictures. Besides that, I like it a lot, especially the fact that it does not display scrollbars when a pic doesn't fit the size of the windows (you can drag it): nice nice nice!
One thing: there's no "open recent" in the file menu!! Please add it!! :)

3 words: i luv it

Very nice... and I like the animation controls (one of my biggest annoyances with Preview is that it doesn't play animations, though I like the frame display).
Noticeably better than other things like this that I've tried in many ways. I'm hanging on to this one!
