You just need to install ImageXtender and it patches the default viewer to support the new image formats, the process of viewing images would remain the same allowing you to view all image formats in three different viewing modes - Preview, Thumbnails and Filmstrip.

The utility works fine and is just a matter of install and forget, However, it fell short of its claim to support Photoshop .PSD files in our tests on Windows XP SP3.
