I've tried free image browsers all the time (not just because of it's price..but i got fed up with acdsee a long time ago). my usual image browser was Fastone image viewer..and it's actually good, but i needed a fresher UI since..the preset UI in Fastone cant be changed or added to..tried Pictomio a few times and the 3D addition was a fresh way to view image files. Just a warning though...it can have trouble when youre opening up a folder with a few thousand files in it. Other than that, there`s no other 3D way of viewing you 2D files that`s free and has this nice UI. I stay away from Picasa because it`s a Google app...hated their app since i've tried using google desktop...

I installed v 1.2.24 and WoW this is a nice looking program, but it turns my computer to mush. There are a few options under settings that you can turn down some graphical details which helped and then I just flipped through my pictures for 30 minutes. This is a very fun and appealing image app. There is also a window, which you can pin, that gives you easy access to EXIF data; very cool. And the program has built-in GeoCoding application to include the use of either Microsoft or Google, although you have to pay to use this feature. One weird problem though is that it is not displaying any of my tags. There is an "Index Status" which states there are "267,120" tags in my album, but all the tag fields are empty and the tag index in the library is also empty. Another problem is that it seems not to display my .tiff files. A beautiful free app, but I do not recommend unless you have a decently performing computer and until some bugs get ironed out.

This pic handler is the best for what it does. It's not an Xnview type handler or batch conversion and all that so if you expect it to be, you may disappoint yourself but this is very good for viewing, album sorting, has a lot of cool features that makes it fun to browse, organize etc.. It even has a very good slideshow maker with effects, you can change views like thumbnail, carousel "which I like". I won't give this one up, it's a keeper! Just a note, I still haven't explored everything so I don't know 100% that there is no conversion but I don't think there is. That's ok, it's great at what it's meant for.
