and drag in one image to scroll through all visible images.

manually scroll to reveal the edges of images.

Work with the Info panel

The Info panel shows the color values beneath the pointer and, depending on the tool in use, gives other useful
information. The Info panel also displays a hint on using the selected tool, gives document status information, and can
display 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit values.
