FastStone Image Viewer

FastStone Image Viewer is a fast image viewing and browsing application, supporting most major image file formats as well as excellent RAW support. It has a very nice cropping and resizing interface, including jpeg lossless operations. The full screen view has various options and operations, which show up when you bump the mouse onto an edge of the screen (the different edges give different options).

Here are the feature highlights I like the most:

Fast and responsive image browsing and viewing.
Very nice cropping interface, which supports standard cropping formats, 4×6, 8×10, etc…
JPEG lossless operations including crop – most editors would only do lossy operations, which degrade the quality of the image.
Support for RAW formats.
Dual monitor support – if you have two monitors it can show the browser on one and full screen view on the other.
Support for batch operations to convert, resize, crop, watermark, etc. multiple images at once.

Overall an extremely useful program with many other features I did not mention.
