I have been a PixelMagician beta tester and compared it some with Graphics  
Workshop, ViewGif2, ImageViewer etc.-- and I really like it.  It is relatively  
fast and full featured.  I like the really wide variety of saving and  
converting options (and the way that they are implemented) and I particularly  
like the group convert capabilities (where you identify a large number of files  
and a target format and just let it happen.  The inspector is farily convenient  
and allows various scaling and rotaing options.   I do not use any of the other  
apps anymore.  The $299 price may be a little high but is certainly justified  
if you deal with converting, resizing, compressing etc. graphics files often.
