Image Viewer

The Image Viewer can be opened by double clicking on any of texture thumbnails, render target thumbnails, depth buffer or swapchain images in any of the client layouts.

The Image Viewer is a modal window that provides a number of controls for displaying and analyzing images locally on the client. If the image being viewed is also present on the HUD, then any changes made in this viewer will also be mirrored on the HUD version of the image.
