Picview strips image viewing down to the parts you actually use — arrow keys to move, the scroll wheel to zoom, and a floating always-on-top window to pin a reference shot beside your work — so it opens and moves faster than Preview's do-everything interface. It reads 30-plus formats including camera RAW and can OCR text straight out of any image. Free to try, with a $12.99 lifetime unlock for the Pro features.
