Googly photo viewer
Ok, so I don’t know if any of you are using google Picasa already, but since the last time I downloaded an update for it (whenever that was) they have added a new feature called the google photo viewer. You know that default picture viewer they include with windows? Well this is like that, but way better. It is cleaner, faster, does this cool transparency thing, here, I’ll show you see below. It is like picasa but loads up way faster and goes away way faster. I highly recommend checking it out. It comes bundled with Picasa 3 and when you install it it will ask you what file types you want to associate it with, as it says, you can always disable it later! (They make that easy to do my offering an interface to select which file types to associate the photo viewer with). A cool thing I had to dig to find, if you open up a picture with the photo viewer, either press C or click on the little down arrow at the bottom for more options and click Configuration. You can change the behaviour of the mouse scroll wheel from zoom (default) to scrolling through the pictures in that folder. Freakin sweet.
