Navigation and interaction controls
When a series contains multiple images, you can scroll through the images using the scroll wheel, the arrow keys or, after selecting scrolling in the menu, by holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse up and down.

Important |
|
|
The speed for scrolling is adaptive. Depending on the velocity used when moving the mouse back and forth, the scrolling will be faster or slower (non linear). The same remark holds when scrolling through a series on a mobile device (tablet or smartphone).
|
You can view an image in full-screen mode by double-clicking on the image. Double-clicking the image again will take it back to its original size.
Using the image editing tools from the toolbar you can zoom in on/zoom out of the image, rotate the image, perform measurements, change contrast, etc.
You can also right-click the mouse for a menu with the most-often used commands:
