ShowImage allows you to view images in all formats that are supported through DataTranslators. New formats are automatically recognized when their translator is added to the system. This has been done for Haiku's vector icon files, WonderBrush images or when WebP images became available, for example.
ShowImage doesn't provide editing features, but it does allow you to select a rectangular area and save it in any format. You can also rotate and flip images, but these operations don't physically change images. They only add an attribute that indicate to rotate or flip the image automatically when it's opened the next time.

Let's go through the menus in order, leaving out the obvious items.

index File

showimage-file.png

The Open… sub-menu lists the most recently viewed images.
The Open with… lets you open the current image in any application supporting its filetype.
The Save as… sub-menu lets you choose a format to save the current image.
Use as background… opens the Backgrounds preferences to quickly set the current image as backdrop of your workspace(s).

index Edit

showimage-edit.png

When Selection mode is activated ̵ also available with the dashed rectangle icon of the tool bar ̵ you can select a rectangular area of the image that you can then drag&drop to the Desktop or any folder to save it. Dragging with the right mouse button will show a menu when dropping the snippet that lets you choose another image format.
If you don't want to change modes first, you can create this selection frame in "normal mode" by simply holding CTRL while left-click-dragging.

Clear selection or ESC will remove the selection frame.

index Browse

showimage-browse.png

After opening an image you can quickly browse through all the other images in its folder (or query result window) by pressing / or /. You can see the selection change accordingly in the Tracker window.

There is a quick way to open the folder of the current image and even navigate to its parent and subfolders. It works just like with drill-down navigating in Tracker by clicking in the info area in the status bar that shows size, zoom level and format of the current image.

Looking at the Browse menu, shows another type of browsing: Some image formats, like TIFF, can contain several pages in one file. Commands like First page and Next page let you navigate those pages.

index Image

showimage-image.png

The Image menu offers the few image manipulations necessary for an image viewer: rotating and flipping the image.
Note however, that the actual image data won't be changed. Only an attribute is added to the file so it'll be shown rotated or flipped the next time you open it.

index View

showimage-view.png

The View menu offers to start a Slide show of all images in a folder (or query result window) and set a Slide delay from 2 to 20 seconds.

Other commands apply to the currently displayed image (without changing the size of the window):
Original size shows the image with a 100% zoom factor.
Fit to window shrinks the image back into the window frame, e.g. after having zoomed into it or after resizing the window.
Zoom in and Zoom out move into and out of the image in 10% steps. Zooming is also done with the mouse wheel; to pan an image bigger than the window, simply left-click and drag your mouse around.

Two settings don't just apply to the currently displayed image and are remembered when browsing from one image to the next:
High-quality zooming applies a very fast filter when zooming to reduce jagged lines and produce a smoother result.
Stretch to window will stretch smaller images to fill the current window frame.

Then there's a Full screen mode with an option to Show caption in full screen mode which overlays the file name at the bottom of the image.

Lastly, Show tool bar will show/hide the graphical controls:

From left to right: Previous image, next image, start slide show (in full screen mode), selection mode, original size, fit to window, zoom in, zoom out, previous and next page (when an image format like TIFF allows multiple pages in one file).

Most of the more often used commands are also available from a right-click context menu on the image. Convenient when in full-screen mode.

index Attributes

showimage-attributes.png

Here you can set a Rating of the current image between 1 and 10, or choose Reset rating to set it back to "unrated" (= "0").

In Tracker, ratings are displayed in a "Rating" attribute column as a number of stars. Five stars represent the 10 possible values, resulting in half-star steps. For example, a rating of 7 is shown as 7 / 2 = 3.5 stars: ★★★⯪☆.
You can edit the rating directly in Tracker as well: Select the file, choose Edit name from the File menu and press TAB to get into the "Rating" column. Now you can enter the new numerical value which will turn into a star rating after hitting ENTER.
