Preview is smart enough to recognize that this is a set of images and will allow you to navigate them with arrows - just like in IrfanView, ACDSee, etc... Of course - you can combine this with CMD+SHIFT+F in order to have a full-screen experience.

I wish preview would work straight on directly level instead of dragging all files to it manually. I also wish it would be possible to go back and worth with simple key presses in full screen mode - a feature which lacks in Finder preview at least. Also in finder preview you can't open it full screen with a key, you have to click the full screen "button" on the screen instead. Last time I tried Xee it worked only on Tiger - in Leopard it showed always a complitely white screen when in full screen mode. Maybe they have made an update by now.

You should be able to go through all images in a given directory and navigate through them easily, rather than having to select every image you need to view before loading Preview.

It opens entire directories of images (but not PDF's it seems...) and lets you zip through them with pretty good controls, none of which are on-screen, ruining the image for you.

I hope they fix them in the Leopard.

Select some images in the Finder, right click and choose "Slideshow". Move the mouse to access the controls. Works identical for all image formats that the Finder can render previews for.
