+ <p>
+ Showing an image like this is nice, but sometimes you want to
+ zoom in on a detail, get a closer look. To do this
+ <app>Ristretto</app> provides the ability to zoom in on a
+ section of the image. There are several ways to do zoom in on an
image,
+ </p>
+
+ <list type="upper-roman">
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ The first way to zoom is via the zoom buttons on the side toolbar.
+ It is possible to zoom in, out, to 100% or to make the image fit
+ the screen. These buttons can also be reached from the
+ <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Zooming</gui></guiseq> menu.</p>
+ </item>
- <section id="slideshow-settings">
- <title>Configuring</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ A second way is using the scroll-wheel on the mouse, Moving the
+ mouse-wheel forward zooms in on the image, moving the
+ mouse-wheel backward will zoom out.</p>
+ <note style="advanced">
+ <p>
+ The zoom-direction of the mouse-wheel can be adjusted, see
+ <link xref="preferences"/> for more details.
+ </p>
+ </note>
+ </item>
+ <item>
<p>
+ The third, and last way to zoom on an image is using so-called
+ BOX-ZOOM, or selection-zoom. Press
+ <keyseq><key>Control</key>Click</keyseq>, and drag the
+ mouse-cursor. This way a box appears, when the mouse-button is
+ released, <app>Ristretto</app> will zoom in on the selected
+ portion of the image.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ </section>
+ <section id="rotation">
+ <title>Rotating</title>
+ <p>
+ Sometimes, it is necessary to rotate an image because it is not
+ positioned in the right orientation. To solve this, you can use
+ the <gui>Rotate</gui> buttons on the toolbar.
+ </p>
+ <note style="tip">
+ <p>Some digital cameras store the image-orientation inside the
+ EXIF data. If this information is present, <app>Ristretto</app>
+ reads this information and automatically rotates the image.
+ </p>
+ </note>
+ <note style="important">
+ <p><app>Ristretto</app> does not provide a way to save the
+ altered orientation back into the file. If you want to modify
+ the image-data, this needs to be done with an image-editor, like
+ <app>The GIMP</app>.
