I was always wondering why Apple doenst offers a real image-viewer. Ok there is Preview after you have installed OS-X but its missing several really basic functions like browsing to the next image in the folder, roate and much more.

Finally i found another way, really simple but it took some time to figure it out. Shame on me

1. Goto Finder
2. Navigate to your desired image-folder
3. Select all images using your mouse, or better the Cmd+A Shortcut
4. Right-mouse click to open the context menu
5. Select Slideshow

OS-X should switch now into Slideshow-Mode. From now on you should have access to several functions without using a third party image viewer. At least for me its enough to enjoy image viewing much more then before.

The ESC-key should close the Slideshow

enjoy it

best regards

edit: i am not sure, but i guess its a 10.4 feature
