   My favorite image viewer. Fast and light. A good replacement for Windows Picture Viewer. I especially like the editing feature that allows me to open the displayed image in FSViewer (still free) or Photoshop.
   
   I hope they revert back to freeware, but they haven't in the case of FSCapture.
   In the mean time, you can still get v 2.2 over at File Hippo, or v 2.1 at Brothersoft (choose the second link that downloads directly from FastStone).
   I wasn't sure if it was OK to post the links or not. Just Google for FastStone Maxview version 2.2 or 2.1.
   
   Incidentally, why take off points for File Forum's mistake? The FastStone site clearly marks this as shareware.

   MaxView 2.3 is a 45 day trial. I've seen FastStone do this before and then immediately revert back to freeware. Just in case, hold on to 2.2 as I haven't noticed any difference other than RAR/ZIP support.

   Great quick image viewer but why did they remove the boarderless window??

   One of THE best quick-view apps ever built. The other is Gwenview for Linux. Well worth a donation.

   The excellent crop board from other Faststone apps has been added to Maxview. Perfect for me as I often need to do quick crops and don't want to open anything other than the image itself.
   
   Comparing this to XnView is like comparing Notepad to Word. This is for the instant viewing of images without loading a ton of thumbnails.
   
   Niksa, I have a Canon and have no problems viewing my photos.
