Multi-monitor awareness and huge monitor support, with full-screen borderless kiosk mode available at the press of a key? FastPictureViewer does all that in style, with the slickest, most uncluttered user interface you’ve seen in ages. But wait, there’s more: the JPEG-only Home Basic version will be available free of charge for personal use!
