Opera can do this with HTML, provided you turn on the hidden interpolation
option (otherwise rescaled images will look like crap). It also has a full
screen mode which really does use the full screen so that you can see as
much of the document as possible.
However for examining images in detail I prefer loading them individually
in Irfanview, which not only lets me zoom in and out in full screen mode
but also sharpen or brighten or resample an image that isn't clear enough.
It's also good for on screen proofing of a

printed out and know what paper size your customer uses, but an annoyance
otherwise.
