This works really well. From Eric Schulte's Emacs Starter Kit[fn:1]
Use M-x org-toggle-iimage-in-org to toggle links to images into the
images themselves. (Maybe this should also go on Worg hacks?)

** Support for viewing images
This allows for the viewing of images in-line in Org-mode documents.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (require 'iimage)
  (setq iimage-mode-image-search-path (expand-file-name "~/"))
  ;; Match org file: links
  (add-to-list 'iimage-mode-image-regex-alist
               (cons (concat "\\[\\[file:\\(~?" iimage-mode-image-filename-regex
                             "\\)\\]")  1))
  (defun org-toggle-iimage-in-org ()
    (interactive)
    (let ((turning-on (not iimage-mode)))
      (set-face-underline-p 'org-link (not turning-on))
      (iimage-mode (or turning-on 0))))
#+end_src
