1. The ability to see all the images in a group, where I can choose the size
they are shown at.
2. The ability to easily open SINGLE images, enlarge, modify and save with
speed.
3. The ability to group-process images where it is suitable to do so.
4. Sliders that work in real-time for every modification.
5. The ability to reject changes and return instantly to an unmolested
image.

What I don't want;

1. For the program, when I select ONE image to NOT immediately begin tying
to import EVERYTHING in a folder. In fact, I don't want to import ANYTHING.
If the images sucks, I don't want it leaving the CARD, it want to eliminate
it immediately.

I'm not sure whether it does all that you want, but have you tried
Bibble???
