Here's a good article on TUAW: http://www.tuaw.com/2006/10/19/piclens-plugin-for-safari-beta/

I no longer use this due to crashing. It's cool when it works, though.

You can get similar functionality with Creammonkey + Greased Lightbox.

This is a fantastic plugin that always impresses my friends when I use it (even the non-geeks). Can't wait until it's updated for Safari 3.0!

PicLens HAS been updated for Safari 3. I love this app. It enables me to see full-screen images... even when the Flickr member has not allowed the "All sizes"/downloading privileges.

@dreamcore: iirc, the greased lightbox script isn't as nice, eg: it doesn't fade in/out, doesn't show thumbnails in an autohide banner at the bottom.

Where can it get such a good definition to browse flickr full screen (1440×900) when the photo you see on the web page is quite small (500×333)?
I tried zooming from 500 to 1440 with the lanczos algorithm but couldn't get such a nice quality...

Actually it doesn't seem to always get the highest quality available, check this photo for instance: with piclens at 1440×900, the image is quite blurred when compared to the 853×1280 original.
(Make a screen capture as png to compare more easily. Then check the water drops.)

The delay between photos is a bit short, it would be nice if it could be adjusted.

Version 1.6 and the download link are for PicLens for Firefox .
Piclens for Safari is here: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/piclensforsafari.

However, comments here relate to Piclens for Safari, there's some cleaning to be done... :)

This is the sweetest plugin I have ever used. Makes pictureviewing on the web a dream!

Note: to view a photo from a web page in full screen, you can also drag and drop it from Safari to an image viewer, eg: FFView.

I have FFView set up to display full screen by default, so this method works well for quickly viewing full screen on a site unsupported by PicLens.
You can also drop a photo from Safari to Exif viewer, if you want to see exif information. Or to Picasa Web Albums Uploader...

pretty damn cool

NB: latest version is 1.8.0.

This app is already registered twice:
- once for the Firefox version (387 uses)
- once for the Safari version (12 uses)

Having separates entries for the Firefox and Safari versions makes senses, because they have different features and aren't always updated on the same time.

This entry, however, looks like a duplicate and should be merged with the Firefox version entry imho.

Very nice app... but terribly slow down Safari.
Sometimes when I browse a flash site with Safari, and every time I relaunch Safari, WindowsServer takes 100% of cpu for seconds.
Once removed everything is ok (have the same behavior even on a fresh install).
