First Impression
Fast image viewer with no unnecessary UI

First Impression is Freeware

First Impression is a lightweight and fast image viewer with no traditional UI that takes up space.

The features of First Impression can be accessed via the right-click menu instead. First Impression has several interpolation modes to provide better results when the image is resized. You can also flip and rotate the loaded image.

You can easily navigate through image files when the folder has more than one image file, using Space and Back-space key.

First Impression supports Unicode and thus can load images from files and folders in any languages.

Impression: Eyes
Impression Eyes has all the features of First Impression plus:

Thumbnail Browsing
Pressing and holding the Shift key or pressing the mouse middle(wheel) button displays floating thumbnails of the images in the current image's folder over the main image window. The images nearest to the current image are displayed first, and you can use the mouse wheel or direction keys to scroll the thumbnails to browse the other images in the folder. Releasing the Shift key or clicking on a thumbnail dismisses the thumbnails and loads the selected image into the main image window.

Thumbnails are shared with the OS. Impression Eyes and Windows Explorer use thumbnails created by each other without consuming extra system resources.
Thumbnail Browsing feature is available on Windows Vista/7.
