Viewing Images

The Home tab in the ribbon contains options for viewing, saving, and printing images. To view metadata stored in the file, click the File Info button to open the File Information panel. If you would like to see the image in its directory and browse related files, click the View in File Browser button to open the File Browser.

Saving Images

File Viewer Plus allows you to save images to several different formats. To open the save dialog, click Save As in the Home tab or choose File → Save As.... from the application menu. If your selected save format supports advanced save options, you can click the Advanced button to show them. Several formats have advanced save settings, such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP. These allow you to adjust the output quality of the image, which helps constrain the file size for saved images. You can adjust the quality and preview the file size before saving.

Printing Images

To print an image, simply choose Print from the Home tab. A print dialog displays, allowing you to customize your printed output before sending to the target printer device. File Viewer Plus supports single page image printing as well as multi-page image printing. Below is an example of the print dialog for a multi-page TIFF image.
