Viewing Photos

If you own a digital camera, you probably have many photos stored on your disk. Here are some tips for viewing them more easily:

• You can see thumbnails of your photos in the panels; this usually makes it much easier to find a specific photo. See how to select Thumbnails view in the panel. You can also define the size of the thumbnail (see the Appearance page in Configuration). Try also to maximize the panel (the Ctrl+F11 key) that shows the thumbnails, and maximize Sally's main window (the Ctrl+Shift+F11 key).
• Use the View command from the panel or from the Find window (for example, you can find all *.jpg files on all your local disks and view them one by one) to open the first photo in the viewer.
• Switch to the Full Screen view mode. You should see only your photo; everything else is hidden (including the mouse cursor, which disappears if the mouse is not moved for a couple of seconds).
• If you need to rotate the image (for pictures you took while holding your camera vertically), use the R (clockwise by a quarter-turn) or L (counterclockwise by a quarter-turn) keys.
• Use the Space key to view the next photo or the Backspace key to view the previous photo. See more in Opening Previous or Next File from the Panel or Find Window.
• You may want to zoom in to see more details (the resolution of photos is usually much larger than that of your display); see how to do it from the keyboard and with the mouse in Zooming View. For scrolling the view, see Hand mode in Using Mouse in Viewer or just use the arrow keys.
• Sometimes a photo is not worth keeping and you want to delete it; see how to do it directly from the viewer.
