Preview in Leopard does have prev/next buttons in its toolbar. I think this was not in Tiger.

With smaller files, Preview works, although rather slow. (In fact, Photoshop CS3 is faster!) With larger files, Preview can handle only reduced sizes but as I get closer to 1:1 or even magnified view, the rendering may take too long, or it may just give me black image. (The file is JPEG.)
