Image viewer

An image viewer is a computer program that displays a stored graphical image; it can often handle various graphics file formats. In most cases such software will render the image to suit the properties of the display (colour depth, resolution etc.).

Many image viewers will feature:

• Basic non-destructive manipulations such as zoom and rotation.
• Slideshows.
• Printing.
• Cataloguing.

Example Image Viewers are:

• IMGV (MS-Windows and any X-Window manager)
• GQView (Gnome Desktop).
• Irfanview (Windows).
• Kview (KDE Desktop).
