Mirador Viewer

Some items in RADAR are viewed with the Mirador viewer.  

This viewer has a lot of options, so let's go over them.  

First, in order to zoom in or out on an image, use the mouse wheel. You can also click and drag the image around in the screen. You can navigate to the next page by clicking on it's thumbnail, or by clicking the arrows above the thumbnails. 

To enter fullscreen, click on the square on the left side of the viewer. While in fullscreen, hit the escape (Esc) key to exit. 

The floating tool bar on the top right has many options for adjusting the view of the image, including rotating, changing brightness and contrast, and inverting the colors.
