Using external tools, creating temporary files, the way you have to tell
it to do things and then wait.  :-)

Images in dired should just work without you having to do anything.

There should be an easily reachable command in dired that would just
display a tooltip with the image displayed, and there should be a minor
mode that does that for all image files without having to do anything
except putting point on a line with an image file displayed.
Implementing this should be rather trivial, since Emacs has rather good
built-in image support now (on all normal systems; i.e., with
imagemagick support).
