  <sect2 id="eom-features">
    <title>&appname; Features</title>
    <para>&app; has a variety of features to help you view your images.
    You can zoom in and out or view the image full screen. Regardless of
    your zoom level, &app; uses a low amount of memory. You can also
    rotate and flip the image you are viewing.</para>

    <para>The collection view allows the viewing and editing of large
    image collections. In this view image operations can be applied
    to all selected images at once. </para>

    <para>&app; has special support for digital camera pictures and
    displays EXIF metadata recorded with the image. This feature
    requires <systemitem class="library">libexif</systemitem> to be
    installed on your system. All modifications made in JPEG images 
    are lossless. That is, saving rotated and flipped JPEG images 
    will not recompress the image. Beside this all available metadata 
    (like EXIF) will be preserved and updated accordingly. </para>

		<para>You can zoom or scroll around the image in the same way as when it is shown in a window, using the mouse or the keyboard.</para>
		<para>If you have multiple images in your collection you can press <keycap>Space</keycap> or use the right/down cursor keys to advance to the next image. The previous image can be reached by pressing <keycap>Backspace</keycap> or using the left/up cursor keys.</para>
	<para>In this case you can also use the slideshow mode, where &app; automatically switches to the next image in your collection. You can start a slideshow by choosing <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Slideshow</guimenuitem></menuchoice> or by pressing <keycap>F5</keycap>. The slideshow can be paused/continued by pressing <keycap>P</keycap>. To stop the slideshow, press the <keycap>Esc</keycap> or <keycap>F5</keycap> key, or <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>W</keycap></keycombo>.

	<title>Saving Images</title>

	<para>
	&app; always tries to choose the save method with least impact to the image data. For example, if an otherwise unmodified image is saved under a different name in the same format, the file is simply copied. If <systemitem
