A very useful functionality of the Image Viewer application is the view option which allows a display or presentation of images. When you have a large collection of images, you can show them as a gallery or a slide show. The images below show you the various viewing options

*You can go to the folder of images and click on one image to open with Image Viewer. Once you have opened an image, you can use the arrow keys to click and view the other images. The default view shown in this image is the Best fit view. You can also select "View--->Full Screen". The images will be shown in the order in which they are shown in the folder (sorted by the file name). If you would like to see or show the images in a different order, you could do so by renaming the files, and prefixing file name with a serial number. In this case the file with prefix 1 will be shown first file with prefix 2 in its name.

We saw earlier that you could change the display option of the images. Once you have changed this, you can click on "Image-->Save As" and save it as a different file. You can also use the "Save as" option to convert the image to a png or jpeg or bmp format through "File --> Save as" option.
