About Image Viewer
Using Image Viewer, you can view and manipulate most of the different types of images that you are likely to encounter, including .bmp, .gif, .jpg/.jpeg, .tif/.tiff, .png, and .xbm images. You can:

- Rotate an image.
- Flip an image.
- Zoom in and out.
- Copy an image.
- Move an image.
- See a thumbnail view of an image.
- View other images in the current directory.
- Reposition an image.

Rotating an Image

- Select Image > Rotate Left or Image > Rotate Right.

Flipping an Image

- Select Image > Flip Horizontal or Image > Flip Vertical.

Zooming In or Out
With the zoom feature, you can move in for a closer, magnified view, or you can move away for a view from a distance. There are six zoom settings, ranging from one-eighth (12.5%) to four times (400%) the normal size of an image. The zoom feature also contains the following special settings:
Fit Horizontal Expands or contracts the image horizontally so that it fills the width of the screen. To see parts of the image that are not displayed, turn on the Image Map.
Fit Vertical Expands or contracts the image vertically so that it fills the height of the screen. To see parts of the image that are not displayed, turn on the Image Map.
Fit Both Expands or contracts the image horizontally and vertically so that it fills the height and width of the screen. To see parts of the image that are not displayed, turn on the Image Map.

Zoom in or out

- From the Zoom list, select the amount of magnification you want.

Note The normal size of an image is 100%. A zoom of 50% is half normal size, a zoom of 200% is twice normal size, and so forth.

Copying an Image

- Select Edit > Copy.

Note After you copy an image to the Clipboard, you can paste it into another document with that application's Paste command. The copied image is converted to grayscale before being pasted.

Moving an Image
There are several ways to move an image on the screen:

- Press the arrow keys.
- Click or tap the image on the main screen, and then drag it to the new location.
- Click or tap the rectangular highlight in the Image Map window, and then drag it to cover the part of the image that you want to see.
- In the Image Map window, click or tap the part of the image that you want to see.

Note In some zoom settings, you might not be able to drag an image.

About the Image Map
Depending on the size of an image, the main screen may not be able to display the entire image. The Image Map, a small, movable window, always shows the entire image. The rectangular highlight inside the Image Map works like a window on the part of an image that you want to see. You can drag it over any part of the image. If you zoom in or out, the highlight changes in size accordingly. The larger the zoom on the main screen, the smaller the highlight in the Image Map, and the smaller the zoom on the main screen, the larger the highlight in the Image Map.
