image viewer

An image viewer is a computer program that displays a stored graphical image; it can often handle various graphics file formats. Such software usually renders the image according to the properties of the display (colour depth, resolution etc). Some people use full-featured bitmap graphics editors as image viewers. A person with, say Adobe Photoshop, on their hard drive may have no need for a separate image viewer. Others may find that full featured bitmap graphics editors load too slowly, and keep a separate viewer for simply displaying images. Many image viewers feature:

Basic viewing operations such as zooming and rotation.
Slide shows.
Printing.
Cataloguing.
