Xee is a really useful, lightweight, fast and convenient image viewer and browser for Mac. It is designed to be a serious tool for image viewing and management, with a sleek and powerful interface.
Xee is considered to be a powerful replacement for Preview, or most any other image viewer available on Mac OS X. It is very fast, and uses less memory than most other image viewing tools. It also uses OpenGL to display and scroll images much more smoothly than other viewers. Its interface is highly streamlined and has easily configurable keyboard shortcuts.

Seashore was created by Mark Pazolli who, together with a handful of other developers and helpful users, still develops it to this day.
