I would suggest either Gwenview or Picasa.

Gwenview does pretty much the same exact thing as the default Vista
photo viewer. You double-click on an image and it opens up. You can
zoom, rotate, enhance, print, go back and forth in the folder and do
other cool stuff.

It doesn't look quite as pretty (in kde3) as does the Vista photo viewer
(with aero) and it has a goofy name, but it works.

Gwenview is incredibly pretty in KDE 4, especially in fullscreen/slideshow
mode:

It has a nice set of basic photo editing tools, not as extensive/bewildering
as Digikam. It uses this 'black home entertainment' look and feel when in
fullscreen mode - it works the same way when not fullscreened, but uses the
same L&F as the rest of your desktop:

It also does various contact sheet and album n-up prints, but the option for
this lurks in the Plugins->Images->Print Assistant menu entry -
File->Print... only prints a single image.

< Plugins in the new Gwenview >

Gwenview ver 1.42 (KDE 3 version) had the image Resize/Resample
plugins under Plugins --> Batch Processing. Version 2.2.0 (KDE 4.2
version) does not have these plugins. The only plugins for Batch
Processing in ver 2.2.0 are "DNG Converter" and "Batch Raw Converter".

PS: I have both- KDE 3.5.10 + KDE 4.2 installed on the same oS 11.1
install. Most KDE 3.x applications work under properly KDE 4.2.
